The World Card
Tarot
The concept of representation or symbolism sheds light on the esoteric concept behind Tarot cards. The precision/details on each card manifest a certain energy quality or law of nature.
Thus, we can see the Tarot deck of cards as a book of “sympathetic Magic” or resonant relationships, categorizing things by their interlinked qualitative energy effects.
The World (XXI) is the 21st trump card in the tarot deck. It is the final card of the Major Arcana tarot sequence.
It represents the end of many cycles of life, and the start of a new & major cycle for the “Fool”. It could be an indicator of a major, inexorable, change of tectonic breadth.

The figure dances on top of the earth, holding a wand in either hand, symbolizing balance and evolution in movement.
The 4 figures (a lion, bull, cherub and eagle) represent the 4 fixed signs of the Zodiac, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, and Scorpio, but also the 4 signs/elements: earth, air, fire, and water, as well as the 4 seasons, the 4 corners of the universe, and the 4 evangelicals by John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke. See below.
They guide you from one phase or world to the next, and bring harmony to your journey. The card also symbolizes all inner worlds and all outer worlds becoming One entity.
The Worldcard is a card of a major accomplishment, a major milestone or long-term project finalized, a deeply rewarding journey with a lasting success.
It represents the perfection of the Cosmos, its secrets within, and your rapture when you recognize yourself in the Divine:
The rebirth of both
the blessing Jesus
and
the Cosmic Christ, in You!
Your sense of wholeness, self-love, and self-understanding gives you great opportunities to meet new and exciting people, while you are expressing joy and magnetism. Now is also the time of thinking about your next long-term goal.
The world figure can also be a “male+female”, suspended between heaven and earth, the potential of perfect union with the Powers of the Universe:
Your relationship with one another will give you a sense of deep fulfillment and gratitude. The Tarot World-Love card signals a feeling of completion and joy. You and your partner may be making plans, perhaps even big decisions.
This card also shows a longing to give, as you understand that all worlds/dimensions and everything is connected.
