Mountain
Card 21, the Mountain — obstacles and delay. It corresponds to the Eight of Clubs.
Core Meaning
The Mountain means an obstacle that can’t be quickly bypassed: a blockage, a postponement, heavy resistance from circumstances. The card is not about an ending but about a halt and the need for a long detour. It also stands for an enemy blocking your way, and for stubbornness.
In Combinations
Mountain and Crossroads — a hard choice, a detour; Mountain and Heart — an obstacle in a relationship, a cooling off; Mountain and Key — the obstacle will be removed after all.
In love and at work
In love — a block, distance, circumstances working against you. At work — a delay, a refusal, a bureaucratic hurdle. In terms of timing the card means long and slow.
