I've used this for a couple of readings and I do quite enjoy using it. I feel rather comfortable. However, it's so funny that I came up with it while I was trying to use a different spread for a friend. It just gradually follow into the sequence. I used it for all kinds of question and its quite suitable.

I have not given it a name or what. I'm wondering if this spread is already around in use. Any comments?

This looks good. Two thoughts--first, you have 2 obstacles cards but no "support or help" card. If I had an issue, I might want to know if I was foced to deal with it alone or if I could expect help somewhere.

You could place the barriers cards to the right, like a wall. Then the advice and outcome on the other side to indicate "breaking through."

And second, a language note--I don't know if it was a mistyped line, but I think you mean "near future." Recent means in the past.

I'll give this one a try and see what happens
