The World Tarot Card

The World Tarot Card: Completion, Achievement and Wholeness

When working towards achieving long term goals, the journey can feel exhausting and a lack of visible progress can lead to discouragement. The key is to keep showing up regardless and having faith in the process. If this resonates with you and this card shows up, you don’t need to lose hope. The World Tarot Card shows that you are very close to achieving your goals.

You have faced challenges, obstacles, and overcome roadblocks. You have learnt your lessons. Now you are heading towards the completion of a journey. You have conquered what once felt impossible. You have done the inner work, gone into isolation, and now you have healed. Be proud of what you have achieved. It was not easy for you, but you have done it. It is time to celebrate your achievements and take a break.

This card is telling you to:

• Celebrate Your Achievements:You’ve accomplished what you set out to achieve, now it is time to be happy and celebrate it

• Feeling Whole: You are feeling at one with yourself and universe, all aspects of your life physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually are moving with harmony and balance

• Completion of a Major Cycle: You have recently completed a major project, graduated from university or finally achieved a dream like starting your own business.

From an astrological perspective, this card is linked with planet Saturn. Saturn is the most grounded planet. The success depicted by this card is not sudden, it is a result of sustained efforts, discipline and responsibility. The kind of fame that lasts for generations and is not a viral trend. Just like Saturn represents karma, this card is a representation that all your past efforts are now paying off.

The presence of the four elements is a reminder of wholeness and integration.
• The Wands:These represent power and balance between complete opposites.

How does The World Tarot Card help in Prediction?

Let’s explore the various ways The World Card helps you in prediction. In the ‘you now’ position it means that you are now accepting yourself. It also means that you’ve found your perfect partner, career or ambition. And there is no turning back from here. You can be sure to move forward with your choice even when you have to turn down other offers.

As a ‘blockage card’, you’re being over optimistic and overestimating your abilities. You need to see the situation from an objective lens and accept your true potential. You need to see the whole picture.

If this card shows up as a ‘future card’, you may predict success in relationships and creative endeavours. It also shows that you are about to start a new journey or quite literally travel the world. You are experiencing growth in all avenues of life.

The World Tarot Card (Upright) – Completion, Wholeness, and New Beginnings

The World Tarot Card Meaning, is one of completion, being rewarded for your efforts and travelling. It symbolises that you have achieved a state of oneness where the inner and outer world becomes one. You have now realised the powers within you. A deep knowing that the universe and your soul are woven from the same fabric. A feeling of coming back to your home and discovering yourself. Knowing that the rhythm of the universe is the same as the pulse of your body. You have reached a state of enlightenment where all duality, doubts and conflicts dissolve. For the first time, you experience the weight of your own being and blindness until now. You realise that the outer reality is nothing but a reflection of your internal thoughts. You dance, feel whole and happy. Just like Shiva performs Tandava, a dance to the universal rhythm. You realise that your soul holds the same limitless potential as the universe and there are limitless possibilities. Each choice you make opens up a possibility and closes down the rest.

Career (Upright)

With your hard work and determination, you are now finally receiving the well deserved fame and recognition. Now is the time to celebrate your achievements and enjoy what you have earned. It’s important that you enjoy the current moment without worrying about what’s next in the future.

Finances (Upright)

You’ve reached a state of financial security. Paid off debts, saved money, started investing or finalised a major financial decision. Regardless of what you are earning, you are now feeling fulfilled with your earnings. It’s a great time to make financial plans for the future for other long term goals. It’s important you celebrate what you have achieved, but at the same time it’s important to keep moving ahead and plan for the future.

Relationships (Upright)

Your relationship brings you joy, there is harmony between you and your partner. This relationship holds significant potential for growth and shared experiences that add to your life. While you are in a healthy and fulfilling relationship right now, this card also suggests that you’re thinking of moving your relation to the next step, such as marriage or starting a family. You’ve completed one step in your relationship and are looking towards what’s next.

Even if you are single, you are feeling whole on your own. You are confident and clearly know what you are looking for in a partner. This adds to your charm and magnetism. You’ll soon get opportunities to meet new people.

Regardless, if you’re single or in a relationship, The World Card in a relationship reading signifies a sense of emotional fulfillment and feeling complete.

Health (Upright)

When dealing with illnesses, The World Tarot Card showing up in your reading is a sign that difficult times are now over. Your health is now improving. You’ve learnt the lessons that the illness was supposed to teach you. If you’ve been working towards achieving a specific health goal, this card indicates that you have achieved them or are very close to achieving them.

The World (Reversed) – Delays, Lack of Closure, and Unfinished Cycles

The World Tarot Card in the upright position represents completion, fulfillment and celebration. When this card is reversed, it indicates that you have not been successful in achieving your goals. Your progress has reached a state of stagnation. You feel stuck and drained of energy. Even after giving your best efforts if you are unable to achieve something, it’s time to accept defeat and move on. Know that rejections are just redirections. Analyse your mistakes, learn from them but don’t hold loss close to your heart.

Alternatively, the reversed meaning is that even after achieving everything you desire there is a sense of emptiness. As if all the things that were supposed to make you happy, did not fulfill you. You are unable to understand where it went wrong or what piece of the puzzle you are missing.

Love and Relationships (Reversed)

The World Tarot Card Meaning says about relationships:You may feel like something is missing in your relationships. You may have gotten too comfortable and stopped making efforts. It’s time for you to start putting in efforts to maintain the relationship. Otherwise you may end up feeling disconnected in the relationship. Start with introspection and asking genuine questions.

If you’re single, then you have stopped putting in efforts to find a potential partner. You must put efforts to socialize and find a match.

Finances (Reversed)

Your income has become stagnant and you’re unhappy with it. You were unable to achieve the financial goals you set for yourself. There might be unexpected expenses adding to the disappointment. Carefully review your budget and investments before making any decision. Don’t fall for any quick money making schemes.

Alternatively, The World Tarot Card suggests that you are close to achieving financial security but there are some subconscious blocks related to money that are stopping you. Try understanding what limiting beliefs you hold around money and how they are showing up in your current timeline. It does not have to be grand, try to notice the subtle behaviours. How do you feel after spending money? Does it leave you feeling guilty or rewarded ? Do you spend excessively just to fill an emotional void?

Career (Reversed)

There is completion of a project or resigning from a job to start something new. But it is not like what you expected. You still don’t feel fulfilled or happier. The World Tarot Card is predicting that maybe you were chasing someone else’s definition of success or goals that no longer aligned with your values. You may feel like your achievements don’t match your expectations. And you have not reached your full potential.

It’s important you take out this time to reassess your choices. Try meditation and journaling to introspect and ask questions. What does my definition of success look like? What truly matters for me in a career? Once you align your career goals with your intrinsic values, the blocks will disappear and you’ll experience success. Don’t be afraid of thinking outside the box.

Health (Reversed)

There is unresolved stress, anxieties and trauma which is preventing you from being healthy. Either physically or emotionally you are unable to reach a state of complete well being. You may feel stuck or there are unresolved symptoms. In order to truly heal and feel whole it’s important you bring awareness to your habits and let go of old patterns. In reverse, The World Card advised that your health will improve once you start following a regime consistently. Quick and surface level treatments are not going to work. You’ll have to understand the root cause of your symptoms and work from there.

The World Tarot Card: One Card Pull

One card pulls are great for when you are seeking an answer for a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ question. With this card showing up in a single card pull the message is clear, that you’re reached the completion of a cycle.

• Upright Position: The answer is a definite “Yes” to your question. It means that your journey is going to be completed and your efforts are going to lead to the desired outcome.

• Reversed Position: The answer is a “No” but you are close to completion. You need to put in effort before achieving success. You’re almost there, keep going.

The World Tarot Card: Timing

The World card appearing in a reading signifies that you are very close to achieving a major goal. This card represents that just a few final steps are left before fulfilling your wishes. This achievement is a result of long term efforts, dedication and persistence. You’ll observe that this event marks the end of a long journey. And you are ready to upgrade to the next step and start a new journey.

But if you draw the reversed card, it indicates that there are delays. As there are still some unresolved issues left for you to deal with. You may have missed the lessons that this particular journey was trying to teach you. You should look back and analyse if there is something that you have not dealt with yet. Whether it’s something in your professional or personal life, something has been left undone. It’s time for you to go back and resolve those issues. It’s important that you accept the past before moving forward. Once the past has been dealt with the event will align and there will be fulfillment of desires.
