This is a new spread I made up that I used just recently and am enjoying quite a bit, so I thought to share. The shape is laid out like a face.

[Bracketed] cards are meant to be laid horizontally instead of vertically.
Card 1 - This is how s/he/I see the world, this is what I see
Card 2 - This is what s/he/I smells; this is where I'm following my nose to
Card 3 - This is how s/he/I talk; this is how I communicate
Card 4 - This is what I hear others say about me/s/he
Card 5 - This is what I hear myself say about myself
Card 6 - This is how s/he/I think, this is his/her/my perception of the world
The picture of the spread and its position meanings came to me spontaneously, and while using it several times, I've found it very helpful in both getting personal insights into myself, as well as insights into others.
Card 2 was the strangest to understand. It seems the "nose/smell" card shows the reader where the subject is following their nose to; where they're heading next but in a more immediate time frame. Imagine a bloodhound following a scent, this card shows the trail s/he/you are following.
The bracketed cards just seemed "right" when I laid them horizontally, I dunno if this is my aesthetics, or what!
As such, it makes reading the card as a reversal pretty tricky, if not impossible, for the reading. For myself, the lack of reversals in these positions didn't seem to make much difference, but a reader could choose to keep them upright if they wanted their reversals and no confusion.
Feedback is always welcome, and in general, I hope others have as much fun with it as I've had in the past week!
