i'm looking for a spread that would be good for identifying life patterns or showing where a person is going wrong/becoming stagnant and how to break out of it.

thanks!

Double Celtic Cross spread would be one option.

The primary cards, 2-10 are 'supported' by the cards to their left which give the reader further information about the situation, event or what have you described by the primary card. I like this spread because it includes a timing and advice card, those being cards 20 & 21, and because of the support cards. Sometimes that little bit of extra information can be a big help.
As with the regular Celtic Cross card #1 represents the Questioner in his or her present situation.
Card 2 & 11 provide more information about the present situation. (Card 2 is read first followed by #11.)
Cards 3 & 12 foundation upon which this situation is based.
Cards 4 & 13 are things from the past which caused or had an effect on this situarion.
Cards 5 & 14 indicate how those around the questioner feel about him or her, or how they see the questioner in relation to themselves.
Cards 6 & 15 give you a peak at what lies in store for the questioner in the not to distant future. This is based on the reading at present and may change if you make any decisions based on the reading. Cards 7 & 16 represents the mental attitudes of the questioner and how they feel about their destiny.
Cards 8 & 17 show how the questioner is relating to the people in his or her life.
Cards 9 & 18 deal with desires and fears as the questioner knows them.
Cards 10 & 19 give a possible outcome or result from the information in the overall reading. Card 20 can give you a time-frame for the period the reading covers based on any of several different means of determining the time related to the cards.
And finally Card 21 which provides the questioner with advice as to how they might want to proceed after hearing the information the other cards have offered

I thought I could find a pic... but guess not.

Basically, there is an additional card to the left of each card in the traditional Celtic Cross spread, which amplifies/further explains the significance of the traditional card.
