The World
The World card signals the completion of a major life phase and the confident maturity earned through hard work. It asks you to acknowledge accomplishments like graduation, retirement, or milestones in family life and suggests new opportunities such as promotions, business launches, or travel. In matters of love it brings expansion and stability, potentially indicating marriage or other long-term commitments. As a Saturnian teacher the card can demand discipline and effort that yield important lessons, and when it refers to you it often marks a rite of passage in which one part of life ends so another begins.

Questions
Are you completing this phase of your life with grace and maturity? Is it time for you to break vicious cycles in your life so you can embrace an abundant future?
General Significance
The World signifies the happy conclusion to a major portion of your development. You could be graduating from college, retiring, or watching your child start kindergarten. Take a moment to acknowledge all the hard work it took to get here. You feel confident in your abilities because you have honed them over time.
Opportunities and Relationships
The World might herald a promotion or the launch of a new business. You may be asked to travel for work, especially when the World falls near the Three of Wands. In love, the World brings expansion, but not without dutiful attention to relationships. Those in long-term partnerships may be getting married or celebrating other markers of stability.
Saturnian Teacher and Rite of Passage
The World might show up in your reading as a Saturnian teacher: They will make you work hard for what you learn, but you will thank them later. When the World refers to you, prepare yourself for a rite of passage. A part of your life will end so another can begin.
Visual Description
A nude female figure floats within an oval wreath against a star-speckled dark field, a pink sash winding around her torso and hips. She holds a wand in each hand and appears mid-step as if dancing, while the wreath is formed by a long braided serpent-like band. In the four corners outside the wreath are the four symbolic creatures: a human face, an eagle, a bull and a lion, each rendered in bold colors. The card is framed with a thick border and labeled at the bottom with the inscription 'XXI LE MONDE.'
