The World Tarot Card
Interpretation
The World major tarot cards sits at number 21.
The World tarot card represents birth and rebirth, new
beginnings and opportunities.
It is important that you read my information on the
Vesica Pisces in order to fully comprehend the symbolism
of The World.

Here you will have learnt how the Vesica Pisces, the
central ellipse that the woman dances out from, is the
bridge between heaven and earth or the unmanifest and
manifest worlds.
In tarot the woman is symbolic of the life giving force
of creation. She holds two batons or wands in her hands
depicting the dual nature that she brings to humanity.
At The Lovers tarot cards we learnt how discrimination
helps us to rise above our dual natures in order to make
correct choices in life. However here, at the World
card, we are the new born spirit emerging into nature as
symbolised by the wreath that grows around the Vesica
Pisces.
The creative principal shines through us time and time
again, life time after life time, always bestowing a
unique nature and opportunities to learn and grow
towards perfection. Our opportunities are symbolised by
the four elements, The Angel -air-intellect, Eagle -
water-emotions, Bull-earth-substance and
Lion-fire-passion. These are the same elements as we
find in the four suits of tarot.
On our Tarot journey by the time we reach the world card
we have been around 2 levels of consciousness and
arrived at a new beginning or rebirth. Hence 21.
During a reading the World tarot card will symbolise
that it is time to get out into the world and take the
opportunities offered. All of us have talent and
potential at various levels. As an astrologer I
frequently see the phenomena in a client’s birth chart
where they have lived the first part of their life using
certain talents and are preparing to strengthen other,
so far latent qualities, in order to progress in life
and take on new challenges.
Sometimes the World card can also literally indicate
travel and a need to travel further afield outside our
regular environment. When the World card is reversed it
often indicates that the questioner feels trapped and
unable to step out into the world. A small world. I see
this most often when the questioner is stuck in a caring
situation, whether that be physically nursing elderly
parents, bringing up children or staying in the same old
job in order to bring in enough money to provide for a
family.
Due to the World card’s connection with the Vesica
Pisces’ ancient symbolism as the vagina during a reading
it can also depict a safe birth, sex and a renewed
exploration of ones sexuality.
