The Mountain card of the Lenormand oracle speaks mainly of obstacles and blockages that stop us from moving forward or reaching what we want or have set out to do.
In the Lenormand oracle, the Mountain is a mostly negative card. It warns us that we are going to go through difficult situations with obstacles at every turn. We can prepare ourselves to face blockages, or even a formidable enemy who will overshadow us.
Keywords: Problems, obstacles, overwhelming situations, blockages, hindrances, a dangerous rival.
Meaning of the Mountain in the Lenormand oracle
The topic we ask the Lenormand oracle about is decisive when interpreting this card, as its meaning can vary. These are some of its possible meanings:
The Mountain in love
In love, the Mountain speaks of problems in our relationships. Perhaps we will go through an unpleasant situation, a break-up or infidelity. It is time to think about whether the relationship is worth continuing, or to focus on how to overcome the obstacles shaking its foundations.
The Mountain in money/work
At work, it can represent obstacles to promotion or to reaching our goals. In money matters it can indicate a period of financial difficulty; it may be worth analysing our finances to see where we can save some money to face the situation with a little margin.
The Mountain in health
The Mountain usually represents a persistent illness or one that is hard to cure. Whatever you are facing, it will take a long time and it will be complicated.
The Mountain in family/friendships
This card can mean that we will run into problems with friends and family; perhaps a fierce, formidable enemy will emerge within that circle and we will have to fight them.
The Mountain for timing
As card number 21, the Mountain can indicate a period of between 21 hours and 21 days.
