Heaven & Earth Tarot – The Tower
Mountains in Tarot: Aspiration and Ambition
The quest for self-realization and spiritual development lies at the core of the Tarot. Mountains are an excellent metaphor for our goals because they represent the difficulties we must overcome to realize our full potential. The route to self-discovery in Tarot takes commitment, resilience, and a readiness to face challenges, much as climbing a mountain demands effort, perseverance, and courage.
Many of the Kings and Queens in Tarot appear on or near mountains, and mountains in Tarot often appear when we are encouraged to journey, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Let’s look at some specific cards.

The Eight of Cups: Self-Exploration
A lone individual is seen leaving a stack of cups and heading towards distant mountains in the Eight of Cups. This card is about having the strength to let go of things that are no longer helpful in our quest for spiritual fulfillment. Mountains stand symbolic for the challenging process of self-discovery and the willingness to take risks. The mountains in Tarot cards motivate us to follow our inner calling, even if it means putting off comfortable familiarity, just as the character in the card sets out on a quest for higher meaning.

What Clients are Saying about Sophrosyne Tarot
I was advised to ask open-ended questions instead of predictive questions which I thought was helpful because I never would have known if it weren’t for the reader. The reader provided the reading along with some advice too so the entire reading was very thorough and explained in an understandable manner.
Everything said was accurate and helpful for me to identify my flaws in order to grow as a person. I have learned a lot about tarot and what it does to help me.
