Card 21

The World

Brief Description

The World represents the completion of a major life cycle and spiritual evolution. It signifies achieving perfect balance between all elements and stepping into a new phase of existence. This card indicates that what has been undertaken is now complete, whether or not it ended as expected, and invites you to shed the final veil to embrace the new life awaiting you. The four fixed astrological signs surrounding the cosmic egg symbolize elemental harmony and the beginning of a fresh cycle.

Spiritual Completion and New Beginnings

Each of us comes into this incarnation independent and pure, the essence of our untainted soul ready for the next adventure in our evolutionary cycle. The oval wreath outlines a portal in time and space, the great cosmic egg from which the World itself was born.

The Four Elements in Perfect Harmony

The Angel, Eagle, Lion, and Bull represent the four fixed astrological signs: Aquarius — the element of Air; Scorpio — the element of Water; Leo — the element of Fire; and Taurus — the element of Earth. When all elements are in perfect condition and harmonious agreement, the cycle is complete, and a new cycle has begun.

Your Time of Completion

You are now in such a time. What has been undertaken is complete. This may or may not end as you wished, but it is done. Drop the last veil and step into the new life that awaits you.

Visual Description

A partly draped woman stands within an oval laurel wreath, one arm raised to her forehead and the other holding fabric that billows around her. Four symbolic heads — a human/angel, an eagle, a bull and a lion — appear in the corners among clouds. A red ribbon is tied at the top of the wreath and the Roman numerals "XXI" are visible at top and bottom of the card. The scene is framed by an ornate gold border and a pale, textured sky fills the background.
