It really depends Morgana.

For me I let my client shuffle and then when they feel ready I have them place the deck on the table.

Taking the less dominant hand (if your right handed, this would be your left) cut into 3 piles.

One pile represents past, one current and one future.

I tell them to choose 1 pile (that is the current). I set that aside by me. Then I have them pick one more. (that represents future) set that aside by me (keep track :) )

I tell them the remaining pile is their past. Since we can't go back and change the past - we set that away from the other 2. It isn't read.

I then read the current situations going on in their life. After, I tell them to ask questions about what they want to know about what's coming? Money, relationship, etc.

Hope that helps.
