A little more about the card The World...

The World is Tarot card number 21, symbolizing the end of the journey that began with the Fool card, the first Major Arcanum. Saturn is its ruler, precisely the planet of time and karma.

In the card, we see the figure of a woman dancing, celebrating her achievements at the end of the journey while waiting for a triumphant restart. The card brings all the sunshine and the notion of the end of a Wheel of Fortune cycle, albeit on a deeper level.

The four fixed signs of the zodiac represented in the card form the basis for an outcome and significant changes to occur. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius suggest that a cycle is coming to an end, but that the cycle that will begin next promises to be a positive one.

The figures still symbolize the four corners of the world, the four Tarot suits, the four elements, the four seasons and the four cardinal points. The World card has a lot to do with the Wheel of Fortune, as both reflect the cyclical progression of time and human experience. But the World card does this in a deeper and more comprehensive way.

The woman is at the center of the world and the laurel wreath on her head represents victory. Around her, there is a wreath of flowers, which also represents success, while the red ribbon is the symbol of eternity, that is, we will always be rewarded when our efforts aim to improve ourselves and the world around us. In each of her hands, she holds a stick, which represents evolution and balance. This means that she has learned many lessons during her journey and has now found harmony and fulfillment.
