In a modern reading
A large obstacle or delay that will not move quickly. The way forward is around it, over it, or simply waiting. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Près de la personne nous fait craindre un ennemi puissant, mais dans l'éloignement nous pouvons compter sur de forts amis.
Near the person it makes us fear a powerful enemy, but at a distance we can count on strong friends.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
Position 21 of the Grand Tableau is the House of the Mountain. A card that falls here is read in the context of obstacle, delay, challenge.[15][16]
