Understanding the World Card
As we reach the end of the Tarot deck, so does the querent reach the end of their personal psychic journey. Of course, this card does not refer to death or the end, but that the questions being asked of the querent refer to a journey that is at its end. The spiritual journey to enlightenment towards a subject has finally been reached, and the individual is no longer struggling to reconcile their spiritual and psychological goals. Understanding one's spiritual desires and how they manifest in the physical has finally been achieved, and the World is a sense of completion and wholeness.
Reversed, or ill-dignified, the World card is a sign that your completion is almost at hand, but that it has somehow been stagnated or delayed. If you feel insecure or that you need to move faster, then it's time to sit back and take a look at your journey so far. Often, loose ends or an obstacle in one's way can be solved by examination. The key words for the reversed World card are as follows: frustration, stagnation, not completing something important, unfinished business.
The World is the card representing ultimate balance. As everything finds its proper place in an individual's life, The World celebrates this and announces the end of the journey. This card is also a sign that a new journey is waiting, it only needs to arrive. The upright reading for the card tends to mean a specific journey of sorts, either with a project, situation, relationship or career. You have achieved the success you sought to, goals have been met with good results, and any hard work that you have put into a situation will also reward you.
This card also shows that you will need to begin preparations for whatever next journey has come your way. You will be experiencing something new, such as a new relationship, new career, or maybe you're moving and will be experiencing a new lifestyle. Either way, you won't know until the journey grows closer, so you have to think in terms of what you would want to do so that you can steer your next journey towards you with the best tools. As you have completed a journey, the universe is trying to open another door for you, so make it one you want. The key words for the World card are as follows: full circle, travel, beginnings, enlightenment, completion, success, growth.
There are many tools of divination available to those who wish to seek them out, but one of the most iconic and easy to learn is the deck of Tarot. In beginning to understand Tarot, there are four suits: swords, cups, wands and pentacles, as well as Major Arcana, iconic cards that have a whole different series of meanings in the deck and are universally considered the more important part of the deck. The final card in the Major Arcana is the 21 card, the World.
