I recomend using this spread for a birthday, possibly for New year. It uses all 78 cards and it should be recorded as most of the information will only make sense once the time approaches. It is a long term version of "a card per week", with the great advantage of spotting bigger topics and general themes in life. I base it on the zodiacal year, but that mainly serves as a timing device.
I recomend calculating several numbers first: The personality card, the soul card, the shadow card and the card of the year. It is really helpful to see where they appear and in what position, because that will signify an important point.
You start with the astrological sign you were born in (or which is now). This may mean you will draw several cards that refer to the past.

So we have 3 sections, one is the "zodiac timer" and two are more general year spreads, however the "timer" should be read in the light of those two general parts, so I will start with these.
The lines 66-62-69 and 75-71-78 represent the "overcurents", the bigger, impersonal picture
The lines 63-64-64 and 72-70-74 represent the personal view, the feelings, fears or hopes etc.
The lines 67-64-68 and 76-73-77 represent the unconscious, what is going on inside the person beyond his/her awareness but affects him.
The columns 66-63-67 and 75-72-76 represent what comes from inside or what is carried over from the past
The columns 69-65-68 and 78-74-77 represent what is the outside influence, what changes, pressures or situation life brings
The columns 62-61-64 and 71-70-73 (middle) represent the outcome of the two other columns.
(however, reading the columns is often not really relevant to this spread)
The timer also has three sections that are laid out in 3 centered circles. For each zodiac sign there is one card in the inside circle, 3 in the middle circle and 1 on the outside circle. Card number 1 represents the current sign.
The inside circle represents the internal influences and reactions, the general mood in the particular time frame.
The outside circle shows outside influence, what big things will be going on outside your control, the external life
The middle circle is the main part of the spread, showing what will actually happen. It is read in sections of 3 as a classical 3-card spread, shifting each decan (10 days in a sign), for example:
10-20 June
Hermit-10SWORDS-9cups
20-30 June
10swords-9CUPS-magus
and so on...
It is an interesting spread and so far I can say it's been acurate, just prepare several hours for reading it and preferably take some photos or other records
