What it means
The World shows a figure dancing inside a laurel wreath, surrounded by the four creatures in the corners. It is the last card of the major arcana: the journey completed. It speaks of fulfilment, of integration and of feeling that everything fits. A cycle closes successfully and the door opens to another, wider one. It can also announce travel.
In love
A full and stable relationship, or an emotional cycle that is completed. A feeling of being in the right place.
At work and with money
A goal achieved, a project finished and recognition. It can open doors abroad.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
