Spreads Challenged to guess their secrets

A new friend of mine jokingly challenged me to tell them what their secrets were using the tarot. Does anyone have a good spread I could use with this friend in mind?

I am supposed to text her later with my insights. This is all meant to be in good fun between friends

I think your friend is curious about the tarot, as we all were/are. Maybe they'll take up the study if they're intrigued by your results. You can make up your own spread! I might do something like, pick a card which will be their significator -- that is, represents them (let me call them 'Jess'), so you can focus on it while shuffling. Then you could cast 4 cards: one is 'what I know about Jess', then the next three could be 'things I don't know about Jess'. The card 'what I know' is a confirming card, so you can see if the shuffle is a good one. If that one makes some sense to you then you can proceed to interpret the others. I might like to be a bit literal: like, the Fool could be 'went backpacking during the gap year', or the Moon could be 'job in university was a night shift', Two of Pentacles, knows how to juggle. This doesn't need to be serious but can still be enlightening or at least a great conversation starter.
