Is it possible to divine a reading without a question for general purposes?
And here's my preferred habit for a "general reading" for a sitter:
I do that "first operation" thing - I shuffle a chosen signifier card into the deck (I usually use an extra card - I prefer not to reduce the occurrence of a Court Card in the spread), split the deck into 4 piles - namely Earth, Air, Fire and Water - and whichever pile the card turns up in - is the focus for the reading
(Earth - material plane, Air - thought plane, Fire - active/physical plane, Water - emotional plane. These are after Benebell Wen, from her book 'Holistic Tarot').

I do all the time. 90% of my clients don't give me a question. A well-constructed spread will tell you quite clearly what their issue is, anyway.
