The World

completion, support, renewal

Sign: Taurus, Leo, Scopio, Aquarius

Element: Earth

Numerology: XXI

Numerologically speaking the number 21 represents completion, success, fulfilment, and teh culmination of parts into a newly created outcome. The numbers 2 and 1 adding up to 3 which is a master number representing the trinity of mind, body, and soul…the number 21 holds within it codes for a ‘complete’ and ‘whole’ experience of life to be had. This number invites us into a reflection. The 2 facing the 1, what aspects of our consciousness are being called up to be addressed, what threads are revealed in the succession of your current experiences of life?

Message from Dilara:

When we meet The World on our journey through the Tarot archetypes we come to a point in the circle which marks and indicates completion, which is ironic because there is no real completion in a circle. However, there are points on the path in which we can allow ourselves to really feel and embellish in the feeling of renewal, integration, celebration, and joy. The World card represents being held in the process of experiencing this integration. The four fixed signs in the zodiac wheel (Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus) are represented by the Bull, Lion, Eagle, and Cherub, one in each corner of the card. There is a similarity here to the Wheel of Fortune card which also represents the cyclical nature of our lives and essence. The figure in the central position of The World card can be seen to be observing her past while she dances into the future, the reality is that these two movement points are happening within the present moment which her body, in its physicality, represents. The physical body in this instance can be considered as a vessel of circumstance, a beacon of information which tells us which direction home is, where our past is, where our future is. This moment, right here, contains all the information we need to move ‘forward’ and to learn from the past.

The World card also brings in the energy of deep celebration, this card is filled with the symbolism of witnessing. Observing, taking in, accounting for one’s accomplishments however big, small, subtle, or loud. Sometimes in life we have an opportunity to bring forward the ability to revel in who we are, to acknowledge life through our path travelled.

On this note, The World card can also symbolise literal movement, travelling from one place to another, travelling and completing cycles in doing so. Moving to integrate the lessons learned along the way and celebrating one’s environment with raw, revealed, intense abandon. On a micro level this movement can also be experienced through internal accomplishments, integrating potential aspects of us who have travelled with us up to this point and are now ready for the full revealing and to join the core of our being, our soul in a reunion of energy.

Message From the herd:

The world is a dancing card, it elevates the position of your energetic experience through celebrating the wild presence of your soul. This card calls for a certain type of union, as the supporting figures and the wreath suggest, union of multiple angles, union of different aspects of the psyche and the emotional body. What we mean by this is that as a species Human beings have separated their engagement with life into formatted structures which when unravelled reveal the inner design of their personality, conscious and unconscious. Along the way of doing this the main system which upholds the reflective element of this journey is the family. The family energy is very present in this card. The four pillars of support in the corners: the wreath as a representation of the moon, the earth, and the sun combined into a woven and coded mystery, the sash around the figure’s body which covers and reveals, the wands which channel energy out into the world. The imagery is deeply embedded into the psyche as a clear guide to the heart of matter which is that family and support are the cornerstones of your evolution.

Now, we are aware that human relationships, especially familiar, are often complicated. The complications come from the desire of that soul to learn how to connect to this (what the card is showing) aspect of your journey. The integration. ‘Integrated’ energy is simply stepping into and embracing a level of awareness in your body, in your life, in your mind, the World card channels this step in its entirety. It calls to the embodiment of the family within and without through the celebration of integrative experience.

Where in your life can you become more familiar with yourself. Where in your family life do you experience ruptures or scars which need your healing? What is the present situation you are in with your family? Can you become more aware of how to celebrate all parts and aspects of you when they arise in the moment.

Life is a dance, the World card is a dance of realisation, celebration, attunement, and awareness. It is an invitation to dig into your own accomplishments, especially when you are able to see your accomplishments through the lens of the family. To make this clear, what we are saying is that all aspects of your life come from your family: Earth, galactic, ancestral, personal, and chosen. Bring in the awareness of your family in everything you do and witness the healing which arises.
