Garden

Company. Society.

This card is like you were invited to a joyful event and radiates merriment. Life is beautiful
ahead and looks like a holiday. You are waiting for friends and loved ones - go to them, you need them and their company. Go out, a new friendship can begin now. Near the significator also means success in the art or science, a period of inspiration. A dedicated and long-term friendship. Sometimes it can mean rest, vacation.
As a place of escape from the hectic world, symbolizes the earth and heavenly pleasure. This is the place where you feel happy among other people. But as a world of social singles, parties, and not binding relations, may be a world of gossip and rumors too. Don't
become a slave to the desire to just "do it" to get recognition at this time, don't succumg to the temptation of glamour. It is also a card of illusion, shiny appearance and extrovert wild lifestyles. You, without any doubts, have now the opportunity for creative growth. You can perform well and have strong desire to climb the social ladder. But do not get
overly ambitious - be realistic, there is always a danger to fall. Adjacent cards show where you can find social opportunities and where you must be alert for a trap.

In an environment of unfavorable cards - bad company, caution against false friends, a lot of fuss for nothing.

Mountain

Mountain


Obstacle. Burden. Challenge.

Mountain represents an obstacle. It can be people or circumstances in the way to achieving the desired outcome. You need to wait or look for a way to avoid the mountain, says the card. In the symbolism of the alchemists "mountains" meant a major force in the world. The obstacles sent to us should be seen as stimulators for self-development. Only after passing through the trials and hardships, can we rise to the top.
Mountain is a symbol of immobility. In the language of symbols "climb the mountain"
means a willingness to tackle the problem. You have to be willing to accept the challenge fate throws at you. The road ahead is bumpy, it is necessary to think carefully about each step. However, it also means that you have the ability to overcome obstacles and fight
adverse circumstances. Requires great courage, and you have it. But don't be hasty. If you quickly climb the stairs to the top, there is a risk of falling quickly too.
Therefore, do not be overconfident but still believe in yourself.

with the Book - difficulty in learning;
with the Letter - problems with official documents;
with the Garden - distancing from society, solitude.
