(Feel free to show the spread.)
I wouldn't say that I create my own spreads often, as I rarely repeat the ones I come up with on the fly—they are usually more like a collection of single card spreads, with each position answering a specific question that would be irrelevant or nonsensical to anyone else.
One that I think would be applicable, generally, is the advice spread I devised for TG:
Its purpose is to cut to the heart of the matter instead of pussyfooting around with useless dross or prediction attempts (like, say, the Celtic Cross). Each "cross" at the top of the spread represents a person involved in the situation, so the number of cards would change in each reading; TG was asking about her family so there is one cross for each family member. These function like the first two cards in the Celtic Cross: what covers and crosses each person. Then the three cards below are advice: what you should keep doing, what you should stop doing, and what new thing you should try. I thought about adding a fourth (what you SHOULDN'T try) but in the end I decided it would be too much.
Not sure how effective it is as TG has not had the time to chat with me about it—that is okay with me. I'm sure I'll find an opportunity to use it sooner or later.
