The World Tarot

How is the World in the Tarot Card Depicted

A dancing woman holding a wand in each hand at the center of the card represents the World. Her right leg is crossed over the left, akin to the Hanged Man but in the opposite position. She is wrapped in a scarf that covers only her pelvis and cascades behind her right shoulder and below her feet.

She is surrounded by a green laurel wreath tied with red ribbons at the top and bottom.

At the left and right corners are a cherub and an eagle, respectively.

A bull and a lion are seen in the left and right corners at the bottom, and behind her is a clear blue sky.

What Does the World Mean in the Tarot Card

The World symbolizes the joy of completion of a journey as well as a new beginning to experience the other facets of life. The wands signify growth and balance while the scarf is symbolic of an idea materialized into action.

The laurel wreath is an embodiment of triumph, success, fulfillment, and accomplishment while the red ribbons stand for eternal rewards of positive efforts.

The cherub, eagle, bull, and lion represent the four zodiac signs, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo. They are also associated with the four elements, suits of Tarot, seasons, compass points, and corners of the universe.

The blue sky symbolizes freedom, imagination, and free space.

The World as a Person (Signifier)

The card represents someone who has finally realized the goal of life, coming out as a winner and letting the universe know the value of perfection, hard work, and balance.

The World Tarot Card Meaning: Upright

Symbolism: Freedom, leadership, clarity, travel, glory, simplicity

Interpretation: It means that you have completed a major life cycle or an important milestone in your life. Your efforts despite the adversities, challenges, and difficulties are finally paying off as you enter a new phase that promises happiness, public recognition, and admiration. You are now solid as a rock ready to brave any situation without breaking down.

It is important now to utilize your knowledge and experiences to give back something to the world through education or social work. You are likely to move places as the card reinforces travel and global awareness.

In Love Reading

Symbolism: Abundance, satisfaction, commitment

Interpretation: The ones in a relationship can see the beginning of a new stage in their lives, probably marriage, having a baby, or purchasing a new house. Your bonding will grow stronger as some of the most serious life decisions would be taken together during this time. Most importantly, the trust factor would play a positive role for couples.

Those who are seeking a new relationship may have a deeper emotional urge to share their feelings with a special someone. So finding a new love might be easier since the World Tarot indicates the start of a new phase.

World Tarot Card Readings in Other Situations

Education: At the career and education front, you are most likely to excel in your chosen field. If you have been jittery about sitting at interviews to bag the dream job, this is the most favorable period to get the desired results.

Business: Your financial status will improve, giving decent returns if you have invested in stocks and shares. If you have been thinking of starting an independent business, there is no harm in taking a risk around this time.

Health: Regarding health, the card promises recovery from a long-term illness and end of physical sufferings. If you have been advised surgery or some medical intervention, make a quick trip to the hospital and get yourself cured without any anxiety. You may also be endowed with good mental and spiritual health.

Reversed World Tarot Meaning

Symbolism: Loss of freedom, stagnation, disappointment, failure

Interpretation: In the upside down position, it indicates that your efforts are not giving any results no matter how hard you seem to be working. It could be that you are putting whole lot energy in too many aspects of your life rather than the vital one.

Channelize your efforts into a single outlet like the completion of a project or building a house to ensure a positive outcome.

The challenge is to meet the unexpected hurdles with confidence and immense strength so that chances of achieving your goals increase.

In Love Reading

Symbolism: Suspicion, mistrust, disloyalty

Interpretation: You and your partner may have frequent squabbles that could create a greater gap in your relationship. Watch out for the trivial things that may snowball into a major problem and cause a permanent rift. It would be better if you let go the minute matters and concentrate on the important events.

The singles may have many admirers and proposals but finding a suitable life partner may take a lot of time.

The World in Different Positions in a Tarot Spread

Past: Your earlier actions have led you to reach your target but with added responsibilities. Although you have fared well, the acid test would be fulfilling new expectations and goals.

Present: You will soon see drastic changes in your surroundings, bringing fulfillment of wishes and desires. Be a bit flexible when others give you new ideas to carry out work instead of being too rigid.

Future: You can hope for success after finishing a particular task. However, the experiences would matter more and decide your achievements.
