Mountain in love
Obstacles, coldness, distance or a partner who will not move on an issue. Patience is needed. Where the Dog lies close, a friend is the one blocking the way; where the Key does, the problem between you can finally be solved.

The meaning
What the Mountain card means
The Mountain is an obstacle that does not move quickly: delay, blockage, distance, an opponent who simply stands there. It is slow rather than violent. Mountains can be climbed or walked around, but not ignored.
Mountain in work and money
Delays, bureaucracy, a project that stalls, a stubborn opponent. Next to the Tower it becomes red tape, and next to the Sun a hard climb that ends in success.
Mountain as a person
A stubborn, unresponsive or emotionally distant person.
Mountain as advice
Plan for a long climb. Persistence works where force does not.
Is the Mountain a yes or no card?
No. Not now — the Mountain blocks the way. It can be climbed, but it will take time and effort.

A delayed burdenThe Mountain in a Grand Tableau
House 21 is row 3, column 3 — the inside of the grid, so it touches 8 cards: Whip, Birds, Child, Garden, Crossroads, Woman, Lily and Sun.
The house of the Mountain is obstacles and delays. A card that lands here is blocked for now: the Ship in this house is a delayed journey, the Fish money that is held up, and the Rider news that is slow in coming.
