Tarot Advice on How Each Birth Month Can Conjugate Their Inner Mountain
We all have challenges to face – our inner mountains to climb.
Here are some tarot tips for each birth month on how to access their inner mountain. The three cards of this reading are interpreted as follows:
- What is the Mountain? What is the inner difficulty or challenge you are facing, what is something that you face many times?
- What is a Route? What path should you seek to overcome this obstacle?
- What’s Your Thread? What basic emotional anchor can you use to help you stay on track?
April
Mount: 9 of Swords. You are dealing with a great deal of depression and despair, and the difficulties you are facing are the Dark Night of the Soul – and manifest in physical, mental, and emotional distress. Fear will grow to fill all of our minds and rule our lives if we let it.
Route: 9 of the cups. When things get dark, remind yourself of what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. Follow your satisfaction and feelings of contentment with gratitude.
Your Rope: Lord of Pentacles. To keep your focus on gratitude and away from depression, remember times when people gave you, or times when you felt safe. Lower yourself.
May
Mount: King of Cups. You have a lot of big emotions and you carefully control over them as much as possible. Maintaining strong, firm control in times of turmoil and stress is extremely difficult, and will be a significant internal struggle.
Route: Two Cups. We don’t walk this world alone – and one way to navigate through the challenging emotions you have is to lean on those precious people who share your life’s journey with you.
Your Rope: Knight of Pentacles. You are pragmatic and honest, and your willingness to put in the work to get the results you want will keep you moving forward.
June
Mountain: Four Cups. Your usual connection to joy and wonder has been weakened, and you haven’t felt very busy in the world lately. If you’re not careful, those feelings can easily turn into anger and doubt.
Route: Nine of Pentacles. Remind yourself of everything you have in your life that makes you grateful. If you can improve your recent focus on the positive aspects of the world you have created around you, it will be easier for you to move away from the emotional entropy of boredom and cynicism and back to happiness.
Your String: Three Swords. Remember that just as the 3 of swords represents grief, sadness, and loss, it also represents the healing light that those events can open us to.
July
Mount: Wires Page. You weren’t attracted by any idea enough to take off and get the momentum for a strong enough start. You’ve been too emotionally reserved to allow yourself the enthusiasm you need to get started and maybe have a bunch of ideas come out after a false start, or never get to the point of launch.
Route: Three Cups. Friendships with people who celebrate our joy and comfort us during trials can help guide us, not just by their comforting presence but by their ability to share their unique perspectives with us. There is also something special and memorable about the experiences we are able to share with others.
Your Thread: Two Lips. Keep your focus on your emotional connection.
August
Mount: Seven Swords. You will have to strategize to get out of a difficult situation that includes difficulties such as deception, vandalism, and uncertainty. Your challenge will be to maintain a high level despite these challenges. Don’t give in to your anger.
Route: Fool. Break away from your preconceived notions before you start this challenge, and allow yourself to have a beginner’s mind. Instead of relying on everything you think you know, allow yourself to see the situation from a new perspective and without preconceived notions.
Your Thread: Ruler. Be systematic in your approach, and direct in your use of your techniques.
September
Mountain: Three Cups. Your friendships have changed, and when you finally have time for your friends, it may seem like things aren’t as open and fun as they used to be. Reconnecting is very difficult in this fast moving world.
Route: The Hierophant. Sometimes traditional methods are best, and instead of relying on technology or social media, make sure to create time with those you care about and spend quality time as much as possible. If distance makes going offline impossible, focus on turning off distractions and engaging as fully as possible when you have time to spare.
Your String: Three of Pentacles. Cooperation is key.
October
Mountain: Power. You didn’t feel as focused or disciplined as you’d like, and your usual management tactics aren’t working, especially since you’re solving a few problems. You will have to challenge yourself to be gentle and gentle in your discipline. Power is not about ruling by brute force but by gentle and consistent guidance and compassion.
Route: Knight of Wands. The best way to reach your goal is through bold and committed action. Do not be bold in your self-pity, do not compromise in your kindness.
Your Thread: Page of Swords. Keeping yourself this way will require you to be vigilant, and never let your guard down.
November
Mountain: The Hermit. You’ve always had challenges when it comes to being able to find the kind of alone time you need to reflect, heal, and grow. There could be a variety of reasons that keep you from being able to connect with your inner wisdom, but it’s important to regain the ability to spend some quiet time with just your thoughts.
Route: Knight of Cups. You have a deep connection with your emotions, and you can use it to help you work on how to better get the alone time you need. Your intuitive connection with your emotions can guide you to your inner wisdom.
Your Thread: Two threads. It may sound strange, but do and review the plan so you can track your progress. That way, when the going gets tough, you’ll have a way to stay focused.
December
Mountain: King of Swords. You’ve been struggling to find a healthy place, as you feel like you’ve been overactive when it comes to behavior. Either you are ruthless and heartless in your pursuit of your goals, or you are too soft on yourself and find yourself unable to achieve anything meaningful.
Path: Six of Pentacles. Finding balance is important, and understanding where we are in a situation is important to maintaining that balance. When you receive, make sure you only take what you need and when you give, do so without considerations or strings.
Your String: Two of Pentacles. You will find it challenging that you have to keep many things going, and it will require you to divide your focus and multitask.
January
Mountain: Nine of Swords. When fear is strong, it can overtake every aspect of our lives. The impending sense of abandonment and the feelings of hopelessness that accompany it can rob us of our peace of mind, strength, and ability to reach for gratitude. Our minds are at the center of this growing experience, and when turned on we can become powerful.
Path: Three of Pentacles. We face many of our worst mental and emotional moments alone, but that doesn’t mean we are always alone or without the guidance, wisdom, or comfort of others.
Your Thread: Knight of Cups. As you face these challenges, your ability to communicate and understand your emotional experiences will be key to keeping you moving forward.
February
Mountain: Tower. Upheaval and change leave us feeling uncertain at the best of times, and it can be very challenging when we experience upheaval in more than one area of our lives. It’s hard enough to deal with some of the sad arrows life has to ride without facing our fears of the unknown and feelings of uncertainty at the same time.
Path: Ace of Swords. You will find your way through this situation the way you always do – thought and analysis carefully and carefully. Honor the sadness and uncertainty you feel, but allow yourself to see that this is an opportunity to see everything from a new perspective, while being informed by things you’ve experienced before.
Your Rope: The Hanging Man. Your ability to integrate this novel idea into your previous wisdom will keep you on track to find your balance in this turbulent time.
March
Mount: King of Wands. You haven’t entered a healthy state of confidence yet. You may not feel like you’re in a stable state, leaving your emotional state to fluctuate between overconfidence and delusional disorder. Your inability to reach a healthy balance has left you feeling vulnerable and aggressive.
Route: The Hierophant. While we may all have difficult relationships with faith systems and culture, your path to overcoming your self-esteem challenges lies within your faith. This is not the faith of religions, but of you, and the necessary traditions will be the ones you create and honor. Now is as good a time as any to start self-care rituals.
Your String: Queen of Cups. Your ability to communicate and understand your feelings will be an important guide on your path.
