"My Best Self Spread" by Diane Wilkes
This simple spread can be done regularly when you are feeling that it's time to re-assess your personal and spiritual growth. Read each card set in pairs, looking for connections between the cards.
Card One Card Two Card Three Card Four Card Five Card Six Card Seven Card Eight
Card One: What do I need to know about my current spiritual state?
Card Two: What can I do to further my spiritual development?
Card Three: What do I need to know about my emotional balance at this time?
Card Four: How can I better balance my emotional state?
Card Five: What is my current mental state?
Card Six: How can I better use my intellect for myself and others?
Card Seven: What do I need to know about my physical health?
Card Eight: What can I do to improve my physical well-being?
When you have examined all eight cards, look to see if there are several cards of one suit--this might be an area of strength (or weakness). If you see more than one card of the same number (including the Major Arcana), that may be a constellation you wish to emphasize in your movement towards personal growth.
Sincerely, Laurasia

For those of you who want to write their own spells: I found in Edain McCoy's Making Magic a spread that may be interesting, the spread tells you whether the spell will be successful or not:
You draw 10 cards
1 = the need or desire on which the spell is based
2 = the hidden underlying need (the root of your desire)
3 = hidden influences acting on the spell could be of your inner self, or influences outside your control
4 = influence of others
5 = the spell's weakness
6 = the spell's strength
7 = the inner-world outcome effect your spell will have in the astral world
8 = the physical world outcome
9 = final outcome
10 = what comes back to you (karmic card) if you get a negative card here you should look if your spell could be harmful to anyone
