XXI - The World



The World

A woman holds a veil that seems to capture and disperse starlight as she moves it about. She dances at the top of the World in celebration, for she has conquered all that she has set out to do. She is surrounded by creatures of air, land, and sea, representing all that she has achieved. The sea creatures symbolize her emotions, dreams, and fears; the flying creatures, her mind and thoughts; the land animals, her ability to move comfortably and confidently through life. The light within her veil shows that she can access and use the energy of the Universe.

This card, the last Major Arcana, is about big achievements. The World promises the wonderful conclusion of long term projects and the realization of goals. Success, completeness, satisfaction, and fulfillment are woven into your life. This card can also indicate major trips and extensive travel.

If reversed, this card indicates the delay of achievement. Success is still possible, but something is in the way. This could be as simple as refusing to accept success. Similarly, it can suggest that travel plans may be postponed.

Use your intuition:

There are different creatures on this card: a tiger, a lion, a stag, an eagle, a dolphin, a fish, and a butterfly. What would each of them symbolize?

Do you see any other creatures not mentioned above?
