The World
Major Arcana
A dancing figure floats within a great laurel wreath, holding two wands. In the four corners appear the same winged creatures as the Wheel of Fortune — angel, eagle, lion, and bull. A red sash wraps around the figure in an endless loop.
▲ Upright Meaning
The World celebrates the completion of a major life cycle and the integration of all lessons learned. You have achieved wholeness — savor this accomplishment before the next journey begins.
▼ Reversed Meaning
Reversed, The World suggests delays in completion or taking shortcuts that leave things unfinished. The sense of wholeness remains elusive — identify what still needs integration.
