The World Tarot Card

The World tarot card shows a smiling naked female figure in the middle of a laurel wreath. She holds two batons, one in each hand, and is swathed in a ribbon of fabric. In the four corners of this card, each ensconced in a cloud, are the head of a man, the head of a bull, the head of a lion, and the head of an eagle. Each of these signifies a physical element of the Earth- the man is air, the bull is earth, the lion is fire, and the eagle is water. (These symbols are also used in the Wheel Of Fortune.)

The Reversed World Tarot Card From The Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.

The World Tarot Card Meanings Reversed- Stagnation, permanence, lack of achievement, burden, failure, obstacles, unfinished tasks, unresolved issues, boredom, insecurity, and exhaustion.

The World tarot card, when reversed, signifies a feeling of being stuck in an area in your life. This feeling of stagnation burdens you. If you’ve done everything you can to re-orient the situation and still received unfavorable results it’s time to face it and accept that “it is what it is." Doing so will save you the time and heartache of overthinking what might have gone wrong. Instead you’ll be free to concentrate on other goals. In this context, The World tarot card still indicates finality and resolution, though not the happy endings when it is read upright. In many cases it encourages us to accept what we cannot change and invest our energy elsewhere. The reverse also shows unfinished projects will weigh on your mind and hinder you from moving on so if they cannot be completed it’s time to release them.

Love & Relationships- Quiet, still, and stagnant. These words describe your relationship currently. Is a quiet relationship a bad relationship? Not at all! But if you’re looking to grow as a person and you’re finding yourself stuck because of your partner, or if your relationship feels stagnant, this card is encouraging you to be open about it and invest your energy in changing it. Open and honest communication will help get you back on track. If you are single your relationship outcome depends on whether or not you are allowing people to enter your life or if you're just keeping them on the periphery. You must get out and meet people. And hey, with all the online options nowadays, a simple “hi” is only a click away.

Money & Career- The World tarot card drawn upside down could mean you have fallen short of what you wanted to achieve financially. In many cases it can point to complacency and simply ignoring your finances which allowed them to spin out of control. This obstacle is one you can overcome, though. In the end, you will dictate what happens in your finances. In fact, one of the best ways to get out of the financial rut you’re in is to mix it up a little and try a different investment strategy. Even if you only do it for the novelty, the thrill will bump you back into actively managing your money.

Health & Wellness- You might not be happy with your health condition. And in fact, it could simply boil down to you continuing to do things a certain way and not getting the results you want. It’s difficult to break a habit but these behaviors are not helping you. They are hurting you. If you keep going to a doctor who dismisses your concerns it’s time to find a new doctor. If you keep trying the same diet and failing it’s time to try a new one. If you keep making excuses not to exercise it’s time to find exercise that doesn't feel like something you want to avoid. The reversed World tarot card forces us to look at our feelings of stagnation and the obstacles to our success.

Spirituality- Even spiritually The World tarot card reversed shows your spiritual connection is stagnant. What are the obstacles in your way to enlightenment? Not enough time in the day? Can’t quiet your mind enough for meditation? Loss of your belief system? Simple exhaustion from your daily “to do” list? Whatever it is, you’re in control of the factors causing it and with just a couple small adjustments you’ll be able to resolve these bumps in the road and get back on your spiritual journey.
