I usually do just a 3-card spread, with the meanings of the positions changing as needed. Sometimes it's "what three things do I need to do for..." Other times it's a Past/present/future thing.
Can I ask what do you normally do when changing positions for the 3-card spread? In other words, how do you "inform" your cards that you are using a set of different position meanings? Has the deck ever get confused when there is a subtle change, say, you would change the right position from "outcome if I take the advice", to "outcome if I don't take the advice"?
