Which spread for a general question?

Kdevi

I personally find the Celtic Cross spread too detailed and cumbersome for the average reading, but the one card doesn't give me enough information.
I frequently use Robin Wood's Five card Spread.

1. The question
2. The background
3. The seeker
4. The environment
5. The answer

The spread is laid out in a V formation with 1. as the first card, 3. as the middle downward point, and 5. as the last card.
