Pyramid Tarot Spread: Problem Solving & Clarity

How to ask your question

Describe one specific dilemma or difficulty you are currently facing. Avoid blending multiple unrelated issues into one reading.

Question examples

• What is behind the repeated delays in launching our joint project?
• What course of action is realistic when the team cannot agree on this month’s priorities?
• What supports my decision to relocate, and what hidden obstacle am I overlooking?

What the five positions mean

The top card pinpoints the root of the problem. Below it sit the recommended action and key obstacles. Helpers and the final resolution form the stable base of the pyramid.

Positions

1. 1 Root of the problem
2. 2 Course of action
3. 3 Obstacles
4. 4 Helpers
5. 5 Resolution

If the resolution differs from your initial plan

A constructive reading may challenge existing assumptions. Re-examine the root cause card before taking action. For a simpler comparison of support and opposition, choose Cross.

Other spreads

If the cause is clear and you need to map out the next stage, choose Path. For a full perspective including outside influences, choose Horseshoe.

• Cross A short view of a situation.
• Path Choosing a direction and a possible result.
• Card of the day A daily focus without a separate question.
