Pyramid Spread
How it is structured
To practice a version on paper, you can declare a base of three perspectives, a level of two relationships, and a synthesis card. It is an example of a six-card spread designed to order reflection, not a universal rule. Linked spreads maintain their own arrangements and quantities.
Useful distinctions
The visual form can guide the reading, but it does not automatically make the top card a definitive answer. It is advisable to explain what each level brings together and then return to the initial question. Avoid attributing a predictive capacity to the geometry that it does not demonstrate.
A practical example
In the six-card example, the base could explore intention, conditions, and difficulty; the second level, two relationships between those aspects; the apex, a way of bringing them together. The same image of Temperance changes depending on whether it appears as a condition or as a synthesis.
Bring it into your reading
What does each level bring together, and what does the synthesis offer that an isolated card did not show?
