This is a Spread I use for reading updates on a situation, especially in doing 'Other' readings that leaves the sitter themselves out of it. (Yes, I do that; I know many believe it to be unethical. I don't. If you believe it unethical, there are still uses for this Spread perhaps, but that's my main usage.)
A lot of times a sitter will come in and say, "I want to know what's going on with such-and-such" (or with another person's relationship, etc). This is generally the Spread I do. I normally warn the sitter it may not impact them, and thus it may be a waste of their time in a way, but normally, that doesn't deter people.
Nor does it always deter me. I use it to read on my friend's relationships all the time. (I like to know when I'm going to need to buy the engagement gift or have the chocolate ice cream at the ready...)
Snapshot Spread
1-Who
2-What
3-Where
4-When
5-Why
6-How
+Shadow Card
(Optional: +Advice Card)
Advice..............................
...................6..................
2......3..........4................5
.....................................1
Shadow............................
In this case, I read the Shadow as "Additional information that's vital to understanding the Spread."
If it, for some reason, does seem to incorporate the sitter more than initially thought, I'll pull an Advice card to see if the sitter should become involved or take any action.
Anyway, kind of random, but it's one of my most accurate Spreads, so I thought I'd share.
If I don't do reversals, I read elemental dignities with 2 and 3, 6 and 4, and 5 and 1, in pairs.
P.S. I normally know one of the positions (usually the 'Who') at least, but that's on purpose... I like having a position to confirm. Plus, it provides greater perspective.
