Symbolism
The mountain rises before the traveller and demands effort to be crossed. It symbolises obstacles, delays and the firmness of those who persist.
- Meaning
- The Mountain shows an impediment that demands time, preparation and patience. It does not mean defeat: it indicates the path will have an uphill stretch and that perseverance will make the difference. Beside another card, it delays or blocks that theme, and the neighbouring cards suggest how to go around or climb.
- Love
- There may be barriers, coldness or distance to overcome. With dialogue and patience the obstacle can be beaten, as long as both want it.
- Work & money
- Projects may be delayed and money comes in more slowly. Plan in stages, stay focused and value every advance.
- As a person
- A firm, stubborn person, or someone who puts barriers in your path.
- Advice
- Move forward in stages and keep persisting in the face of the obstacle.
