World Tarot Card Meanings

Upright Card Meaning

The World represents potential that is finally realized. All the harmony and glory of this beautiful existence is united in this card. Plans have finally been brought to fruition. Hard work has been met with completion and success. Seeds have sprung to fruition. If you are questioning your endeavors and meet this card in a reading, there is no need to fret anymore. Success is almost assured.
However, The World is far too powerful to concern itself only with material success. The World is signaling to you that inner harmony is within reach. Be at peace with yourself. Take time to bask in the wonder of the world around you. Enjoy a change of pace, or take time to travel and really get to know the whole world that you live in.
The world always turns and turns, and so our fortunes ebb and flow. But the complete fulfillment of The World brings with it an inner peace that you can carry with you always.

Reversed Card Meaning

When The World is reversed, something has upset the turning of the natural order. The World upright’s stillness comes from perfect harmony, but when the card is reversed that stillness turns into stagnation. You may feel stuck, as if in a rut. You have dreams that are incomplete but you do not know how to achieve them. If you do not summon up your energies and your will, your stagnation has the danger of becoming permanent.
However, the ever-turning energies of The World can easily be wielded in your favor, even when the card is reversed. In physics, potential energy is the energy something has inherent to its position in the world, and potential energy can be converted into other, more dynamic forms of energy. You also contain potential energy and by harnessing your will, you can catapult yourself out of your stagnation and achieve the happiness that The World promises when upright.
