Dr.Nikki's Tarot -
The World
A woman hangs suspended in space.  Her head
is wreathed in mistletoe and fire.  She looks
warmly out from the card, unafraid to look you
right in the eye.  On her arms are birds that
appear at peace.  Around her ankle is the snake,
long associated with knowledge and proper use
of the intellect.  She is a woman serene in her
position and in control of her life.  She is mistress
of her inner and outer self.  From her feet to her
head she has achieved her perfection.

The World is the last of the Major Arcana.  The
World symbolizes the completion of the journey
that was begun by the Innocent Fool, twenty-two
cards ago.  While the Fool represented the
beginning of the path of discovery, The World
represents the culmination of an endeavor.  She
is depicted in mid-stride as if she is going to step
right out of the card.  She shows us how we can
achieve the rewards of our labors.  She shows us that
to relax and enjoy our achievements is a natural
respite – before moving forward into another journey
on your life’s path.  If The World makes you
uncomfortable to look at, maybe you should look to the
choices and weaknesses you have allowed to keep you
from creating the world you want for yourself!  The
ultimate depiction of what my Mom used to say:  
“Take what you get and be happy with it.”  What Mom
always inferred by her tone was what you were getting
was what you created!  This can be the message of
       the World in your spread today.
