Card Description

The World card, the culmination of the Major Arcana, contains within itself elements of the Moon, the Sun, the Hanged Man, the Hierophant, the Emperor, Justice, Strength, and the Chariot. All of these revolve around a calmly observing eye at the center. Shown as one whole, the largely opposing forces reveal their true nature, finally becoming unified in one Gaze through the Prism.

Integration and Mastery

After long and painful learning, you have finally been able to unite the many contradictory sides of your life. As master of your destiny, you look at life from afar, observing how it combines and unifies disparate elements. Contradictions weaken and doubts are overcome.

Service to Others

Use this well-deserved moment of peace to serve and help others. You have reached the pinnacle of competence and intelligence.

Final Vision

And in the end, when you close your eyes, you see the world clearly — it is composed of everything you have ever known and all the places you have called Home.

Visual Description

A tall rectangular card framed in dark blue contains a vibrant, swirling vortex of paint-like strokes centered around a dark eye. At the top is the roman numeral "XXI" and at the bottom the title "THE WORLD" in stylized letters. Around the spiral float a variety of creatures and symbols: a white bird or swan, several fish, a peacock-like form, a lion’s head with open jaws, a small white dove, stars and a shining sun near the right edge. The whole image feels dynamic and flowing, packed with color and motion against a black background.
