Overview
The World shows a naked figure dancing within a wreath of green leaves, one leg crossed behind the other in the shape of the symbol for infinity. A purple cloth drapes modestly across the figure's body. In each corner of the card sit the same four figures as the Wheel of Fortune — the bull, lion, eagle, and angel — but where they watched the wheel turn impassively, they now appear as witnesses to a completed initiation. The wreath is shaped like a mandorla, the almond-shaped vesica piscis that encloses the divine feminine in medieval art. The World completes the sequence of 21 Major Arcana, signaling that a significant cycle has reached its culmination. Unlike the Fool who stands at the threshold, the figure in the World has crossed. What you have been building is complete. Celebrate, integrate, and rest. The next Fool's journey waits at the far edge of this completion.
