This spread is one I use for strangers who don't really have an issue they're focussed on. It prefers a good-sized table, as it takes more room than - say - the Celtic Cross.
1...4...7...10
2...5...8...11
3...6...9...12......13/14/15
Cards 1-12 are laid face-up. Cards 13-15 are laid face-down and to one side, in reserve.
The top row is the present.
The second row is the way forward, either shorter-term events or the best way to deal with the present situation.
The bottom row is likely outcomes if nothing is changed by the querent.
Cards 1-3 are home and family. This is where I'd expect accommodation issues to surface, also relationships with parents, children, siblings. This is not, generally, where partners surface, even if they do live with you.
Cards 4-6 are about work, money, business, employment, investment. They can deal with work-oriented education.
Cards 7-9 are about relationships, the heart, where you put your emotional energy. In people who are happy without a relationship, they describe what's going on where their emotions ARE invested most strongly.
Cards 10-12 are about health strengths and weaknesses and things likely to impact the health.
The cards that are put to one side can either be used to clarify and expand on a row that the querent may have questions about, or can be used to answer a question they have that the spread didn't cover at all. I sometimes spontaneously lay it out as a fifth column, dealing with a person's spirituality. About half the time the client will be satisfied, and you'll never turn them over and look at them.
This is an excellent spread for professional readers - it caters to most of what most clients want to know about, and allows the flexibility, via the three extra cards (and any others you'd like to pull) to go much deeper into one part of their life or another. I've earned thousands upon thousands of dollars out of this spread alone, over the years, and have a lot of very happy clients.
