Endings. Completion. A Journey Ends so Another can Begin. Success and Achievement. Achieving a Goal. And they Lived Happily Ever After till It Starts All Over Again with the Fool.
The World card, the final card in the Tarot deck, symbolizes the successful completion and culmination of a journey. It signifies reaching the end of a quest or project and emerging victorious. The wreath depicted in the image represents the cycle of life, symbolized by a red ribbon that connects it to the Magician card's infinity sign. This signifies that the cycle is never-ending. Starting with the Fool, this journey concludes with the World card, indicating both an end and a new beginning. The presence of two wands recognizes that there is more to consider than just oneself; it encompasses the world around us. The card also features four zodiacs (Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, and Scorpio), representing the four elements and corners of the earth as well as four minor suits. Celebrate your accomplishments while embracing new quests or journeys with all necessary resources at your disposal. It may also suggest expanding your knowledge beyond your current horizons – a truly blissful happy ever after outcome.
Reversed or with challenging cards around the World card, it could feel that you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, that you are falling short of completing something or that you are thinking too small, failing to look at the big picture. This is such a positive card that even reversed this is a message to look outwards rather than inwards.
