32. The Mountain

OBSTACLES AHEAD; OVERCOMING FEAR; PERSEVERANCE; KEEP GOING

I am ready to rise above this challenge. I am growing with each and every step.

In a distant land of mysteries and uncharted paths, a glowing mountain exists at the cusp of two timelines. Here, the past and future meet and collide at the base of its foothill, causing a fractured break in this earthly dimension. On one side all that is known is clearly defined, and on the other sits a world that is veiled and sweetly obscured. Here is a new story destined to be written.

This great mountain is a sacred place where heaven and earth meet—a symbolic joining of a physical and spiritual awakening in your life. As you find yourself here, you will unearth the grounded wisdom you need to manifest actual outcomes, catapulting you beyond the hypothetical or planting the seeds of ideas. Sometimes, this is no easy feat. The mystical symbology of the mountain has long been used as a motif for overcoming obstacles and great challenges in life or as a visual map of progress—when we have the mental prowess to rise above the external stressors we are faced with.

The energy of the mountain may appear as an insurmountable challenge in your life, but here you are encouraged to face it head-on. With this card comes a gentle warning, but also a powerful gift of clarity and truth. It reveals that circumstances may continue to grow and intensify until everything that blocks your vision must crumble and fall. But once the dust settles, you will see with newfound eyes. This is the last hurdle you must face, and with your perseverance will come great rewards.

As you move through this mountain, you may feel compelled to stop at the foot of its threshold and rest until you feel settled, knowing there is inevitably more beyond the horizon. If you need more time to mull things over, that is perfectly okay, but don't forget—the mountain will eventually call you back. This journey is more than written in the stars. Do not be afraid. This key encourages you to release any passiveness that is preventing you from enforcing your grip on this climb. Dispel the negativity or fear of how you will get through it. You are brilliant and resilient. Don't let anything derail you as you find your way—even if it takes a bit longer for you to progress. Imagine what awaits you beyond this next elevation. Your power is rising.

How can I adjust my view of and approach to the challenges I am faced with? Where are the mountains appearing in my life at this time?
