The Romany Spread or 21-Card Spread
PAST
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 PRESENT 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 FUTURE 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 This spread requires you to choose a significator to represent the questioner, however, it is not removed from the deck. The cards should be read in chorological order or at least a cause/effect order where the top row represents the past, the middle row represents the present and the bottom row represents the future. Check to see whether the significator shows up. The row in which it appears reveals whether the questioner is clinging to the past, living in the present, or yearning for a brighter future. This is a somewhat advanced spread that calls for the ability to weave a story with the cards.

Instead of using the spread for astrological houses, make each card represent a month of the year. Look for clues in the cards that suggest timing issues. For example, if the questioner is asking about when he will get a raise and the Ace of Diamonds shows up in the month of July, a raise may be forthcoming at that time.
After shuffling, turn over cards until you come to a face card. This
becomes the significator and it gives clues to the essence of the
reading. The next card after the significator becomes card #1. With
this spread, it is important to notice in which houses (numbers) the
suits fall. Combining the house and suit meanings provides a broader
understanding of the reading.
#1 = Your personality or expression. How others see you. #2 = Financial issues, spending habits, self-worth. #3 = Short-term contact and connections with others. Immediate surroundings. #4 = Home and family concerns. What brings comfort and security. #5 = Pleasure and fun. What makes life enjoyable. #6 = Work and responsibility. Your sense of duty.
