We frequently debate the "good card/bad card" nature of the tarot. While there is no consensus on that subject, I tend to read the Major Arcana as more or less friendly or unfriendly to a querent's intentions in a reading. Here is another "prepared" spread I created using the Major Arcana cards that are more decidedly positive and negative to explore major turning-points in life. They act as background or "stage-setting" for the actual ten-card reading, creating a "two sides to the story" situation that leads to a final verdict.
ETA: I have attached photos of an actual spread to show how it should look. I used two decks: the Albano Waite for the Major Arcana overlay and the Robin Wood for the reading. I'm not going to interpret it fully, but I asked whether we would be successful in moving to a new home next year. What I got was that coming up with the money is going to be the main issue (Card #9 - Knight of Pentacles), and that we aren't going to be able to do it as soon as we would like (Card #10 - Page of Wands rx).
