Hi, how did the spread go for you? It was very interesting for me. When I got the 9 cards story in the end, it started with the court card I picked for myself (queen of wands), followed by the 5 of wands and the eight of swords on the first line. And I noticed that it had already happened, on a previous relationship.I did this spread. It's best to read the entire instructions. If you go directly to the website you can see a few visuals to aid you.

What MaryLeo said about hers being past present future confused me too. But I get it now. Even future future future will tell a story and stories have beginnings middles and ends. I saw that as well when I read mine.
I feel this spread is to be done for yourself. It's set up that way in many different ways.
"one Court Card that you choose for yourself based on how you perceive your own personality"
Most clients do not know the tarot well enough to really pick the card that represents them. That step took me a while, to be accurate. However, with some guidance you could of course help them with that.
Now the real kicker is how the cards should be read:
"The method used for reading this 9 Square is the story spread method which is an intuitive way of reading the cards. ... Look at the images and let your imagination guide you. ... Write down what you see and don’t worry so much about traditional card meanings."
To me this feels like it was meant for a personal reading. Again, though OF COURSE you can offer your intuitive feelings for the cards as a reader for your client.
For a client you will need a few adjustments!
Possible alterations: If in the first pile they do not find the appropriate cards, then pause and explain what that means. Here you can stop and offer a reading on what is preventing them from finding their soulmate. Or you can offer to proceed to the next pile with an understanding that they are a ways off form meeting their soul mate. Say they go through each pile and it never adds up. Then you can offer to do it the fool proof way and use only one pile.
You just need to build in some leniency. Customize it.
Thats why I decided to consider it as past, present, future.
