THE PYRAMID

Order – Merit
Poverty – Slavery

The Pyramid rises in steps toward a serene-faced sun, as if the light observes the movement from above and below at the same time. Its form originates from a primordial gesture: letting sand fall from the hands. Static antiquity, essential geometry, order generated by simple sedimentation.

This structure has been used to build empires, societies, families, and states. It is the logic of the one dividing into the many, but without branching like a tree: it proceeds in straight, rigid lines, without deviation. This is where shadow nests. The promise of ascent, theoretically based on merit, often becomes a controlled selection: nepotism, inheritance, bloodlines, possessions that weigh more than abilities. The Pyramid promises a summit that almost no one truly reaches. Its immense base supports everything thanks to the hope and constant work of those who remain below. It is a symbol that speaks of order and progress, but also of privilege and dependence.

So, my dear one, if your subconscious has chosen this card, perhaps it wants to tell you that:

If the card speaks about you – Light

You are rising step by step thanks to your effort. Your current position is the result of what you have built with perseverance, and a new level seems within reach. Order, for you, is not a prison: it is a structure that supports.

Questions for you
– What achievement have you obtained thanks to your real merit?
– What step can you take now without forcing it?
– Have you structured an orderly plan for advancement?

If the card speaks about you – Shadow

Perhaps you are accepting a position too low relative to your value, or clinging to a role that separates you from others. You may feel trapped in a ladder that does not recognize who you really are.

Questions for you
– Where do you feel blocked in a structure that prevents you from rising?
– What role are you accepting out of fear of confrontation?
– What part of you is being crushed to support someone else?

If the card speaks about the world – Light

The context around you follows an understandable order. Things advance in clear steps, and the stability that derives from this can be an advantage. There is a logic, though slow, that allows growth and consolidation.

Questions for you
– What structure is helping build your path?
– Where is merit truly recognized in your environment?
– What external order is supporting you?

If the card speaks about the world – Shadow

The dynamics you observe may be dominated by closed privileges, rigid hierarchies, and the work of many for the benefit of few. The ladder is fixed, and those at the top rarely leave space.

Questions for you
– What structural injustice is influencing your present?
– Who benefits from the work of others without offering fair compensation?
– What are the real causes of the poverty you observe?
