Three card open reading with my Soprafino, Il Meneghello deck.
Because I'm following the Hallowquest course, my daily spread is currently:
Split the pack into Majors, Courts and Minors.
Shuffle minors, asking 'What will be my experience today?' and select a card face down
Shuffle courts asking 'Who will be my guide today?' and select a card face down
Shuffle majors asking 'Who will be my teacher today?' and select a card face down.
Turn cards over and interpret.
I like this spread. I sometimes do it the night before and ask about tomorrow, depending on what seems right.

I tend to use a three-card spread that BodhiSeed posted here:
Head - What do I need to know today?
Heart - What do I need to embrace?
Hands - What do I need to do?
I like the idea of the 2nd clarifying card (mentioned by rubyalison), but I almost always have a jumper, so I just go with what falls out. If there are no jumpers, though, I might start following this procedure.
So, Ruby, when you pull the clarifying card, do you just pick the second card on top, or do you shuffle again?
