Single-card meaning
When the Mountain appears in your Lenormand card readings, you’ll have to beware of delays and obstacles coming your way. These problems will have to be overcome in order for your to continue progressing down your path. Whatever the form this obstacle will take, you must learn to move around it, or take it head on.
Remember that this obstacle does not have to be taken negatively. Challenges in life are what force us to learn and grow. Without them, we remain stagnant. Thus, while initially the Mountain may seem daunting, there is also a sense of pride and victory that we can earn from climbing and surpassing it.
The struggles that we face, and then overcome, can also become symbols of the persistence of human nature. This can be an additional dimension of the mountain card, should you choose to take the challenge that it references. It is by taking just one step at a time that we can overcome the biggest of challenges.
