Card 21

The World

Brief Description

The World depicts a hovering dancer encircled by a wreath and emanating concentric waves of energy, symbolizing completion and reintegration. The red lemniscate and the four corner figures reinforce unity and the integration of elemental or archetypal forces. Correspondences with Saturn, Capricorn, and Aquarius, and the Hebrew letter Tav (meaning cross) underscore maturity, structure, and culmination. Upright, the card signals feeling complete, gratitude, and a milestone achieved; reversed, it can indicate a difficult ending, mourning, or the need to let go of a situation.

Title

XXI - The World

Description

A dancer hovers in the air spinning two wands in each hand. A purple ribbon wraps around her body dressing her leg lightly. Waves of activated energy appear in circles around each part of her figure. She is encased in a wreath of green boughs. The boughs tie onto one another at the top and bottom with a red lemniscate. Four figures appear out of the clouds. A long-haired person appears in the top-left corner. The head of an eagle peers at the man from the top-right corner. The face of a bull peers from the lower-left corner. A lion stares from the lower-right corner.

Visual Description

A wreath-shaped oval frames a nude female figure draped in a translucent purple sash, balanced on one foot and holding a white baton in each hand. Thin concentric circles of light swirl around her and soft clouds fill the background. The four corners show classical symbolic heads: a woman or man’s face in the upper left, an eagle in the upper right, a bull in the lower left and a lion in the lower right. The Roman numeral XXI appears at the top and a scroll-like panel with script is at the bottom, with a small watermark "TAROSHOP.RU" in the lower right.
