This should look more like 3 fans than it does the above layout.
Also, cards should all point outward from a central point.

Deal:  Shuffle the deck and deal into three piles.  Take the middle
pile and set it aside as Pile A.  Take the remaining two piles and
shuffle them.  Again, deal into three piles.  You should have one
extra card, set it aside.  Take out the middle pile and set it
aside as Pile B.  Take the remaining two piles and extra card,
shuffle and deal into three piles again.  You should have two extra
cards, set them aside.  Pull out the middle pile as Pile C.  Take
the extra cards and extra piles and set them aside as Pile D.  Deal
Piles A, B, and C into the three arches shown above.

Reading:
Pile A - Querent psychological condition in present & near future.
Pile B - Querent's work or occupation and his/her thoughts of it.
Pile C - Q's material condition regarding home, health, & finance.

If the Querent's significator card is not in the above three fans,
take Pile D and deal it out in a similar fan as the other three. 
This fan may answer a specific question not answered by the fans.

Comment: Peach recommends this as a six month reading to use when
the querent has no specific question to ask.
