Mountain and Fish in Lenormand
Mountain is obstacle; Fish is money. Read in that order, the pair says: money held up by stubborn delays.
Reading Mountain + Fish
Mountain sets up a blockage or delay, while Fish brings money, business and flow into the picture. Together they describe funds held up by a stubborn obstacle: an invoice unpaid, a loan pending, or trade slowed by circumstances. The flow is there conceptually, but it cannot move freely until the blockage eases. In money matters this pair is about patience with a visible but blocked channel.
How the order works
Mountain comes first and supplies the subject: an obstacle. Fish comes second and modifies it: flowing with money. Together: An obstacle flowing with money.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Fish + Mountain begins with money and flow and ends with blocked and delayed — Financial flow blocked by delays
