The The World card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

A figure dances inside a laurel wreath holding two wands, with a man, an eagle, a bull and a lion in the four corners.

Upright

  • Completion
  • Wholeness
  • Return

The last of the majors and traditionally the finished circuit — a thing brought all the way round rather than merely stopped. It invites you to notice what is actually complete.

Reversed

  • Nearly there
  • Loose ends
  • Reluctant close

Reversed, the ending is within reach but not made: the last part left undone, or a close being put off because of what closing it would settle.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
