I started spotting late sunday night. should i wait until next sunday to start birth control or take two pills monday ?

One per day: It is unclear if you are starting a new pack for the first time or just continuing pills that you were already on. You should take one pill every day. You do not stop taking it or avoid starting it if you are bleeding. Just take one pill per day.
