The World
The World card symbolizes completion, fulfillment, and integration. It depicts a graceful woman dancing within a floral wreath, representing the culmination of journeys and projects. The four creatures at the corners signify the balance of intellect, instinct, spirit, and strength, all essential for true success. While this card celebrates achievement, it also warns against clinging to endings, urging an openness to new cycles and continued growth. Even in reversal, it invites a redefinition of success and prepares one for future endeavors.

Visual Description
A graceful woman wrapped in a white cloth dances inside an oval green floral wreath, holding a wand in each hand as her red hair streams behind her. She steps lightly against a background of swirling blue clouds and leaves that spiral around the central oval. At the four corners near the wreath are four creatures: a lion, a bull, an eagle, and a winged human figure. The card shows the Roman numeral 'XXI' at the top and the word 'МИР' at the bottom.
Meaning
The woman completes her circuit within the wreath, skin warmed by sunlight and hair moving with the wind; the scene smells of grass and distant salt, and you feel the satisfying click of a finishing latch. That sense of arrival brings stories of projects fulfilled, journeys concluded, and the quiet power of integration where separate threads weave into a single tapestry. The four creatures at the corners remind you that this completion is balanced — intellect, instinct, spirit, and strength all have their place — and success arrives when they are honored. At the same time, the image carries a warning: what looks like an ending may hide new cycles, and clinging to closure can shut the door on next-stage growth. When stalled, the card suggests delays in completion, premature celebration, or a feeling that something essential is still missing; when flowing, it blesses travel, reward, synthesis, and the confidence of mastery. Embrace both the relief of having arrived and the invitation to integrate lessons into daily life, for true wholeness carries humility and new openness. Even reversed, this picture teaches that an apparent failure to finish is often a prompt to reframe the definition of success and to prepare for the next ring of the wreath.
Visual Description
A woman draped in a white cloth dances within an oval wreath of flowers and greenery, one foot lightly touching the air as she strides in a graceful turn. She holds a wand in each hand and is framed by a glowing inner ring set against a swirling blue-green sky of clouds and wind. In the four corners sit the four traditional symbols — a human angel, an eagle, a bull and a lion — and the card shows the numeral XXI at the top and the word "МИР" at the bottom.
