recently i've been experimenting with something like this for "general readings" - i let the spread ask the question by itself:
2 - 1 - 3
5 - 6 - 4
1. present: what is this reading about?
2. past: what brought this about?
3. future: what the querent wants/hopes/fears
4. positive: things that help
5. negative: things that harm
6. hidden: advice that might help navigate 4 and 5 on the way forward
