The meaning of peace in a relationship chart. The meaning and interpretation of the world tarot card for fortune telling

World - X X I Major Arcana

In terms of astrology, the XXI Arcanum (World) corresponds to Jupiter in Pisces, which symbolizes liberation. You can also consider this Arcanum as Jupiter in a harmonious aspect to Saturn - a symbol of a happy ending.

Other names: Peace: Reward, Emigration, Crown of Magicians.

In other languages, the map is called: Die Krone, The World, Le Monde, Il Mondo.

Description of the Arcana

On the Arcana, the central place is occupied by the figure of a carefree woman performing a dance with two wands. It is enclosed in a circle. In some decks, this circle is represented by a wreath of luxurious flowers - a symbol of a woman’s transition to a qualitatively new state for her. This is a state of heavenly happiness, unity with God.

In the Tarot deck of the Age of Aquarius, a woman is surrounded by a snake biting its tail - this is a generally accepted symbol of Eternity, continuous movement, changing the cycle of deaths and births.

At the four corners of the Arcana there are symbols of the elements - Eagle (symbol of the Element of Air), Bull (symbol of the Element of Earth), Lion (symbol of the Element of Fire) and Angel (symbol of the Element of Water).

On some decks, the girl is depicted with a purple scarf that wraps around her. This is the color of the chakra responsible for communication with the divine world. In the Tarot deck of the Age of Aquarius, this idea is implemented in the form of a purple background of the card: behind the girl you can see the purple starry sky - the infinite Universe.

The sacred meaning of the World

In the global sacred sense, the Arcanum of Peace symbolizes complete peace and tranquility, and this is a slightly different understanding than the peace and joy in life described by the Sun. First of all, the difference here is that in the case of the Sun, this is a temporary, passing state. The sun does not give constancy. This same Arcanum says that if a person has achieved peace and inner peace, but has simply reached the highest stage of development and nothing will bring him back.

To better understand the image of this Arcana, you can turn to Mikhail Bulgakov’s brilliant novel “The Master and Margarita”, namely the final scene, where Margarita leads the Master to the house of peace and explains to him the state that they have found: he will write by candlelight with goose feathers ; in the evening people who like him and who like him will come to him; they will have intimate conversations about the meaning of life, and she will always be by his side. He, in fact, describes to him what he has dreamed of all his life. In addition, she tells him that this state will last forever.

The symbol of eternity on the Arcana The world of the Tarot school of the Age of Aquarius is a circle formed by a snake biting its own tail. In essence, Arkan says that a person has passed his earthly path and found peace in eternity. His path traveled signifies the soul's entry into heaven. The relationship of this Arcana to paradise is clearly visible in the XXI Arcana of the Rider deck: the girl is in a circle formed by a wreath of beautiful flowers - an association with the Garden of Eden.

The girl herself symbolizes an immaculate soul, cleansed of earthly worries and desires. She is naked and happy. Her peaceful state is conveyed by the authors of the decks through dance.

The heavenly pleasure of the soul speaks of unity with God. The symbol of this unity in some decks is a purple scarf that wraps around the girl, or a purple background, as depicted in the Arcana of the Age of Aquarius deck. Here the choice of color is not accidental: this is the color of the seventh chakra - Sahasrara. This is the chakra of higher purpose, unity with God, Divine illumination.

In the girl's hands two wands are depicted. One of them symbolizes wisdom, and the other – love. These qualities accompany the soul on the path to heavenly pleasure; in fact, they lead it to God.

The four figures that are present in the image of the Arcana of each deck symbolize the animal principles, which have also reached their highest manifestation. By joining together, they made it possible for the soul to find peace. They are located outside the circle, behind the symbolic paradise, since their help was needed only during the passage of the earthly path.

These are the four elements, the four principles from which the entire Universe is woven. The element of Earth in its highest manifestation in the form of the Bull gives stability, calmness, and wisdom. The element of Fire in the form of Leo and in its highest manifestation gives ardor, enthusiasm, energy, and desire for the goal. The Eagle, as a Symbol of Air, in its highest manifestation gives flight of thought, flight of fantasy, creative ideas, imagination. An angel, as a symbol of Water, in its highest manifestation gives sensuality, compassion, and empathy.

The World (XXI Arcana) is the final card of the deck; it shows the purpose with which a person walked along his earthly path. The path itself is revealed by the entire deck of the Major Arcana, starting from birth and step by step, Arcanum after Arcanum, reaching paradise. This does not mean that the journey has ended. Only one cycle has come to completion. That is why tarot readers place the Arcana Jester either at the end of the deck or at the beginning. Even its unstable location in the deck is symbolic in itself. After the cycle is completed, birth occurs again.

Mythological correspondence to the Arcana World

In mythological terms, of course, Arkan reveals the story of Adam and Eve’s stay in the Garden of Eden. They are happy, free, their souls are calm. Like the girl on the Arcana, they are naked, because this is how the purity of their souls, unburdened by prejudices and earthly desires, is manifested.

The meaning of the direct World in the layout

If the World card appears in a reading, this means that a person is approaching the end of some stage in his life. Perhaps this stage was quite difficult, containing both victories and losses, but all this is already in the past and a well-deserved reward awaits the person.

The World Map says that a person has gone through a series of changes and now he is on the threshold of the last, final transformation, which makes him understand that he is achieving everything he dreamed of and strived for. The nearby maps will help you understand in which area of ​​human life this desire and change will occur.

If the Minor Arcana of Cups cards are nearby, this will mean that the person has achieved the highest result in a love relationship. Denarius cards will show stable financial success. The wands will tell you about advancement in society, gaining fame and recognition. Swords will indicate good physical health and freedom from illness.

Even the abundance of negative “heavy” cards around the XXI Arcana cannot affect the overall performance. They only say that the path to the highest goal passed through precisely such obstacles.

For young people, the XXI Arcanum most often marks the end of some stage in life and the beginning of a new one. For example, completing your studies and going to work. For people planning trips, this is always a favorable card. It foretells not only a successful trip, but also a possible move to another country.

For creative people, this card means that a person has found his calling, has found the ideal way of self-expression. Success, luck, recognition, and reward await him in this field.

The meaning of the inverted World in the layout

While the straight Arcanum signifies peace, ordering, stability of positive aspects, the inverted World in layouts signifies chaos in a person’s life, lack of peace, harmony, ordering. This is not surprising, because if this picture is turned upside down, the girl in front of us turns out to be upside down. This body position will never be stable, comfortable or comfortable.

The Inverted World brings into a person’s life the incompleteness of the process, the continuation of the struggle in moving towards the goal, and even the abandonment of the goal itself if a person sees that all his efforts are useless: he cannot organize the surrounding circumstances that hinder him with their chaos. A good example would be incomplete education. A person, driven by circumstances, is forced to stop it, although this was once his goal.

The nearby Minor Arcana will show the area of ​​life that has been taken over by chaos. The neighboring Major Arcana will tell you either about the consequences of this or about a way out of the current situation.

The Inverted World says that a person, having gone through the XX Arcanum (Judgment), was unable to renounce his attachments and worldview. This does not allow him to find peace.

Another important interpretation of the inverted World is disappointment. In what area a person is disappointed, what prevents him from achieving peace, the Minor Arcana will show. For example, this may say that a person is fixated on some business, on an idea, he cannot go further, but he also cannot implement it. This brings disappointment into his life.

Direction of self-development

To understand the meaning of the World for choosing the direction of self-development, you need to turn to the symbols on the Arcana, in fact, leading to the highest goal of human development - the Ox, Leo, Eagle and Angel. They indicate the qualities that a person must develop in himself.

A person must replace his animal nature with spiritual qualities leading to purity of the soul, peace and harmony in it. The instincts for which the Earth Element is responsible (greed, acquisitiveness, hoarding, rudeness) must be transformed into stability, confidence, and condescension. The qualities of the Element of Fire (rage in all forms, aggression) must be replaced with determination and enthusiasm.

The qualities of the Air Element (projectoring, sky-high dreams, soaring in the clouds) are transformed into rational thinking, the ability to set realistic goals, but using creative potential. The qualities that the Element of Water gives (excessive emotionality) should be replaced with sensuality and empathy.

Working on oneself should lead a person to finding peace, which is allegorically called heaven on earth.

The Inverted World suggests that a person is mired in earthly troubles, not caring at all about his state of mind. He is confused in his fleeting desires that come chaotically.

A person cannot free himself from excessive emotionality or anger. He is preoccupied with questions of accumulation, which look more like acquisitiveness. Passions overcome him, and not always creative for him. Instead of fruitful actions, he has his head in the clouds.

In this situation, the path of self-development is practically impossible. To achieve self-development, a person must first organize everything that happens in his life, accept all situations, learn to correctly distribute his efforts and not cultivate destructive emotions. Such ordering will lead to a reversal of the Arcana, which will allow you to take the path of self-development.

Job

In work-related layouts, the XXI Arcanum, first of all, shows that the person has chosen the right type of activity. He is competent at his job and enjoys doing it. Work brings not only monetary satisfaction, but also pleasure.

In terms of work, Mir speaks of successfully completing some stage and receiving a reward. This could be the delivery of a project, an object, or the completion of writing a book.

Arkan shows that work may involve long trips, usually outside the country. For businessmen, this is an excellent card: profitable investments, significant profits, tasks completed on time, full compliance with contractual obligations.

For people who work for someone, the card indicates that at a given time the person is in his place. He doesn’t need any changes, he’s not even interested in a promotion. He receives a decent salary for the work he does, and the work itself satisfies him completely.

For creative people, the direct Arcanum of the World predicts an excellent period, since the person will be in a blissful mood and complete satisfaction with his creations. You could say that the creation of one masterpiece inspires him to create the next.

If the XXI Arcanum falls on a team, then we can safely say that the people in this team are well chosen, they will always support each other, since the relationship between them is friendly. The team itself works like clockwork: everyone is in their place and each employee copes with their responsibilities perfectly.

The Upside Down World in work scenarios shows chaos in everything. Most likely, at some point the person did not follow the work process and during this period the person simply does not know what to grab onto. As a rule, with such a card one can say that there is always a lot of work, and all of it requires immediate participation, but due to the wrong approach to organizing the process, a person is not able to cope with this work that has piled up on him.

This situation is accompanied by moral and physical fatigue; the person becomes passive in performing his tasks and does them carelessly. He may delay the delivery of planned work, make mistakes, and make incorrect financial calculations.

This is a rather dangerous time for businessmen, since chaotic relationships with finances can lead to serious financial losses. Another indication of the inverted World is that a person is not doing what he needs to do in life, and perhaps this is precisely why he has problems.

For a creative person, this card does not have an obvious negative character. It only means creative wandering, when a person is in search of some idea or plot.

If the question concerns finances, then the inverted World will mean untimely receipt of money. They will come sooner or later, but the timing will be changed from planned. Maybe the required amount will come in parts.

If the card of the inverted World falls on a team, then it is, rather, just a society of people who perform some tasks, but it is impossible to call it an integral team. In it, work is carried out chaotically, people delegate their responsibilities to others, and the activity itself does not bring pleasure to anyone.

Personal relationships

When viewing personal relationships, the Arcanum of the World, which falls on any union, indicates that this is a genuine union: genuine marriage relationships, genuine love, genuine friendship, genuine partnership. With such an alliance, partners feel each other very subtly, capture each other’s mood and state.

They always support each other and provide a certain amount of freedom. Partners never feel constrained in such a union. We can say that this is a union of souls.

Very often, all the unions described by this card are a circle of people who feel good together and don’t need anyone. They enjoy each other's company, and everyone else just gets in their way. This also applies to business unions, when two partners cope with the business and they have no desire to involve anyone else in it.

If the card falls on one of the partners in the alliance, then the card indicates that this partner is completely satisfied with the existing relationship. He is comfortable, calm, he does not want to change anything, even if the second partner does not feel comfortable and strives for change. The other partner's attempts to change something in the relationship may even cause painful fears of change.

When a direct World card falls on a lonely person, this is an indicator of a new meeting, provided that the person wants it. If a person is comfortable in his loneliness, then the World Map shows that this state will last for quite a long time.

An inverted World falling on a union means that this union actually does not exist. It may be indicated somewhere on papers, in documents, passports, in the same office or in the same living space, but in fact these people have long lost interest in each other. Maybe even they didn’t have such an interest initially, but they are together only thanks to circumstances.

Such partners can annoy each other, interfere, create certain problems and bring trouble. At the same time, they cannot separate until they complete certain tasks. They say about such a partner “a suitcase without a handle: it’s hard to carry, but it’s a shame to throw it away.” A good example would be two employees who don't like each other but are placed in the same office to do the same task.

If the alignment is made for one of the partners in the union, then the inverted World says that it is this person who brings chaos to the union. As a rule, such a person transfers all his problems to his relationship with his partner and, naturally, aggravates them.

When the inverted World card falls on a lonely person, it means that complete chaos reigns in his life. He himself does not know what he wants: whether he wants a relationship or prefers to remain alone. His desires change constantly, and at each individual period of time he wants something different. He can remain in this state for quite a long time, and his wishes are very rarely fulfilled.

Personality characteristics

Peace, first of all, characterizes a calm, balanced, self-sufficient person. All these qualities manifest themselves through inner peace. This person can fully be called a spiritual person. His attitude to life is determined not by external circumstances, but by a deep understanding of the necessity and inevitability of certain events.

These people usually have very good intuition. But at the same time, their intelligence is always highly developed. They can achieve whatever they want in life, but their desires are often incomprehensible to others. For example, having the opportunity to live in some luxurious cottage, they choose to live in a small, quiet, secluded house. This happens because for them the meaning of generally accepted human material and moral principles has long been lost. They live according to their own laws, correlating them only with the divine.

In society, these people stand out precisely because of their confidence, their calm attitude towards life, people and everything that happens around them. They make very good advisers, but they never impose their advice. They will never refuse moral help and support, but they themselves will not offer it.

A person conditioned by the XXI Arcanum may have an abyss of talents both in the field of creativity and in the field of science. They usually have a high affinity for languages ​​and often become polyglots. As a rule, such people choose not just one method of self-expression, but use several. For example, Leonardo da Vinci, who realized himself both as an artist, and as a design engineer, and as a mechanic. Moreover, in each of these ways of self-expression he achieved incredible success.

The Personality of the World freed himself from illusions, accepted the world as it is, and found his place in life.

The personality described by the inverted World is characterized as chaotic. Moreover, she has chaos both in her soul and in her head. A person rushes among his desires, among the information coming to him. He cannot stop at one thing or make a final choice. He wants everything at once, while he is not able to realize that all these desires are not needed by his spirit - they are superficial, caused by the influence of society. As a rule, all these desires have no chance of coming true.

Chaotic thinking and feelings certainly influence his behavior and the behavior of the people around him towards him. People may see such a person as overly fussy, grasping at different things and not bringing anything to its logical conclusion.

These people also have abilities and talents, but he is simply not able to take full advantage of them. Most likely, he cannot complete what he began to implement, and, therefore, people cannot see the final result. In addition, often such a person is simply not able to fully develop his talent.

The chaotic nature of his knowledge also calls into question his high level of intelligence. He has fragmentary information about everything in the world, but he does not have deep knowledge on any subject. They say about such people that they have grabbed the top.

This condition in a person is the result of a complete lack of intuition. He lives only by his mind and never listens to his heart.

Often these people look disappointed both in individual situations and in life in general. The trouble is that they become fixated on their disappointment and do not want to see the circumstances that could help them get out of this state.

Health

The issue of health does not always concern the client in the same way. Some people come to understand how healthy a person is at the moment, while others are interested in virtually every organ and its condition. In connection with the question itself, a suitable layout is selected. If the question concerns only a superficial understanding of a person’s health, then it is enough to perform the alignment with one Major Arcana. The layout answers the question “Is a person healthy or not?” The cards must be in the deck not only upright, but also upside down.

Quite often, a person comes to a tarot reader with a question about an existing health problem or is interested in the processes occurring in the body. Just like in the previous version, the layout is performed only by the Major Arcana, and in this layout, too, they should be in two positions - straight and inverted. The lasso, which appears in the first position, characterizes only the organ in which a person may have problems. The Arcanum that lands in the second position will indicate the current state of this organ, the presence of the disease, and its degree. It will also indicate the success or failure of the treatment process.

The full picture of the state of the human body is shown by the most complex alignment - the chakra one. With its help, you can see the current state of all organs and systems in the body, as well as see the prerequisites for the occurrence of the disease. The layout is performed exclusively by the Major Arcana, but sometimes the Minor Arcana are used to decipher and paint a clearer picture. The Major Arcana must be straight and inverted, while the Minor Arcana can be used in one position - upright. The tarot reader begins reading the layout from the bottom card. You should also pay attention to the Major Arcana, which lie on the chakras adjacent to the one being read. They will help to more accurately identify problems.

General state

When health is looked at through the Major Arcana, the World in the upright position shows a healthy body and an excellent mental state.

The Upside Down World shows an imbalance of the whole organism, a tense nervous state, a shattered nervous system, insomnia, and a shaken psyche.

It is important to note that, as a rule, this inverted Arcana indicates that all human diseases are more of a psychosomatic nature. It is this card that clearly demonstrates the statement that all diseases are from nerves. At the same time, the inverted World will never talk about serious stages of diseases. It does not describe conditions that may be fatal.

Ongoing processes

When divining health using two cards of the Major Arcana, the World in the first position in any position will indicate not the organ as such, but the psyche and diseases that are psychosomatic.

The second position of the World in a health reading using two cards of the Major Arcana in its upright position demonstrates a completely healthy organ.

An inverted World in the second position will indicate that the organ identified in the first position works intermittently, chaotically, but such a problem is associated exclusively with the psyche - this is a psychosomatic disease of the organ.

Chakra diagnostics

At the beginning of the reading, the tarot reader conducts an internal attunement with the chakra system of his client. After that stage, the alignment itself begins, which is done from the first chakra. The tarot reader, laying out the Arcana, tunes in only to a specific chakra.

Muladhara . Direct World reports healthy organs and the normal functioning of all systems.

The Inverted World warns of infringement of the sciatic nerve, disorder of the genitourinary system, weakening of the sphincters, pinched nerve endings in the sacral spine.

Svadhisthana . The direct XXI Arcanum indicates actually healthy organs related to the second chakra, for both women and men.

The Upside Down World warns against chaotic functioning of the pancreas and gall bladder. This card is given to those who have problems with the spine associated with pinched nerve endings in the lumbar region.

Manipura . In the upright position, the World on this chakra demonstrates the healthy organs related to it.

The Inverted World indicates dysbiosis, as well as various pain sensations in the spine and organs for which this chakra is responsible, associated with the psyche. These pains are psychosomatic in nature.

Anahata . The world in an upright position characterizes healthy processes in the heart, as an organ, and the cardiovascular system, as based on the work of the heart.

The Inverted World demonstrates serious problems with the heart, and often these problems are associated precisely with malfunctions. Such a map can describe tachycardia and bradycardia associated with nervous shock, cardiac arrhythmias, shortness of breath and breathlessness due to a nervous breakdown.

Vishuddha . The world on Vishuddha is characterized by healthy organs, for which the fifth chakra is responsible.

In an inverted state, the World shows problems with the thyroid gland. This is the most accurate Arcana for describing the thyroid gland, since its hormonal changes are directly related to the mental state of a person. The thyroid gland itself has “destructive” effects on the psyche itself. This is a vicious circle.

Ajna . The Direct World rather characterizes the intellectual development of a person, his nervous organization.

The inverted XXI Arcanum will indicate insomnia, which is associated more with chaotic thoughts that a person cannot “calm down” before going to bed, “self-winding,” and a negative way of thinking.

Sahasrara . The world at the seventh chakra characterizes a person as calm, peaceful, and satisfied with life.

The Reversed World indicates a disorganized personality. The presence of psychosomatic diseases, which cards on other chakras will tell about, a shaken nervous system, a restless psyche.

Layout for the situation

In the layouts that are made on the situation, the direct World says that there is no need to worry: the situation has reached the finish line, it is already clearly coming to an end, its ending is already visible. There is no doubt that this ending will be the best option possible.

The Arcana, which lie next to the World in the layout, are of great importance. They show what else can happen before the situation ends, and how much these events can change its course. They also show people who help or hinder a situation.

In situations related to work, scientific or creative activity, the XXI Arcanum shows recognition of merit by officials and successful contacts with various government structures.

Registration of any documents for travel outside the country, obtaining the desired visas, contacts with consulates and embassies with such an Arcanum will always be positive, since one of the meanings of this Arcanum is successful long-distance trips. The card also brings good luck to people who are applying for or are planning to apply for a residence permit in another country or citizenship of another country.

In situations related to money, direct Peace predicts long-term stability, and the financial condition during this period will be completely satisfactory. With such a card, a person is not in danger of losses, deceptions, or encounters with scammers. The card speaks of favorable inversions and profitable deposits. During this period, a person can safely take out a loan, since nothing will prevent him from paying it off ahead of schedule and without any losses.

In everyday situations, the World card describes a situation when a person is said to have everything in his hands. Minor everyday problems are solved, children are happy, money arrives on time and in sufficient quantities. With such a card, a person is calm and relaxed, and most importantly, confident in the future.

The Inverted World in situational scenarios characterizes events that develop in a chaotic order. A person does not see the system in what is happening, and, naturally, cannot influence events. For this reason, a person tries to solve all problems at the same time, he fails to cope with them, and the situation around him only gets worse.

In this case, XXI Arcanum recommends not trying to influence the situation, but letting it take its course. Sooner or later it will come to its logical conclusion, but the person himself will not harm himself through his own actions. In fact, a person should be grateful to fate for having the opportunity to leave the situation and simply observe it, since he will have both events and people who will serve as good helpers.

What kind of events these are and what kind of people these are in the scenario can be understood thanks to the Arcana adjacent to the World. If a person has enough wisdom to realize that all the people and all the elements of the situation did not come to him by chance and carry some meaning, then the situation will always bring him a positive result. If this does not happen, then the person will remain in a state of unresolved situation for quite a long time.

As for financial situations, the inverted World suggests that a favorable conclusion will be hampered by external circumstances beyond human control, which are commonly called force majeure. In this case, it is necessary to withdraw funds or withdraw them from accounts, withdraw investments, or stop negotiations as quickly as possible.

With such a card, it is better not to deal with paperwork related to long trips or moving to another country for permanent residence. It's better to stop the process and come back to it a little later.

In everyday matters, this card means continuous troubles, when everyday problems grow like a snowball. The more a person solves them, the more of them there are: faced with one problem, found out that the reason was the following.

Card of the day

Direct XXI shows a very favorable time for any action. He says that on this particular day everything will work out, decisions will be made easily, surrounding circumstances will certainly develop for the person in the most favorable way. The card says that there will be people around a person who are always ready to help him.

Having seen such a card at the beginning of the day, a person can calmly plan any event and not be afraid of any plans, even if they look too bold at first glance.

The Reversed World in the position of the day warns that on this day it is better to remain alone with yourself and, if possible, not leave the house anywhere. No matter what a person undertakes on this day, it will all turn out to be some kind of problem. Meetings will bring disappointment, plans will be built in a chaotic order, because they will have to be changed along the way due to external circumstances.

If it is not possible to sit at home, you need to try to reduce your activities to a minimum, since a person is not able to influence the events on this day. You just need to watch what is happening.

Card of the Year

The world in an upright position on the map of the year characterizes the most favorable time that can only happen to a person. This year he will be truly happy, since nothing and no one will darken his mood during this year.

Everything will go smoothly for him, any ideas will be realized, harmony and mutual understanding will reign in the relationship. This year a person will have the opportunity to visit different countries, and all trips will be favorable.

This is the year of fulfillment of desires, completion of difficult situations, prosperity. Only in one case does it bring excitement - a change in life period: graduating from school, graduating from a higher educational institution, entering a job. But even in this case, the map gives good forecasts.

An inverted World on the map of the year promises chaotic business affairs. A person is awaiting ordeal. It may be related, for example, to unsuccessfully going through the authorities. During this time, it is better not to make any plans or try to make any changes.

You need to take care of your finances, protect them without investing anywhere. Try to be more tolerant towards your loved ones and children in particular. You need to set yourself the goal of just staying afloat.

This is a year of revaluation of values. Most likely, many of the things he is doing at the moment will lose importance for him, but he will deal with them out of inertia.

Arcana Council

Arkan Mir advises enjoying the coming period of prosperity, relaxing, discovering new countries, and devoting yourself to creativity.

Angel– this is the spirit, feelings, the highest meaning of life. Eagle- this is the mind, the knowledge that a person accumulates while in his earthly incarnation. Taurus– these are earthly material goods and physical health. a lion– a symbol of strength, power and emotions. The very name of the Arcana World is ambiguous. World– this is a time without war, a time of creation and joy. A time of fertility, love, the birth of children. World– this is space. This word denotes the small world of our surroundings and the world of our earth, with all continents and countries. Finally, when we pronounce the word “world,” we mean the entire universe – visible and invisible, in all its manifestations. This means that one short word combines two endless concepts- "space and time". And also world– this is harmony, life in harmony with oneself and the surrounding reality.

The World map, the meaning of which we will analyze today, can be described as the most dizzying. There is even an opinion among tarot readers that when choosing a deck you should definitely look at this card. If it causes delight, then the deck is definitely yours! This is the last Major Arcana, the result of the path along which the Fool went from zero to the number 21. The card, on the one hand, is very simple, but on the other hand, it is very multifaceted, since it closes the circle of the Tarot, connecting with the Fool. It is the crown of everything, the ending, but at the same time a new beginning - which is why novice interpreters do not always manage to cope with it.

General description of the World card, plot and meaning in the layout

The meaning and interpretation of the 21st Arcana of the Tarot is sometimes difficult to understand from the plot. So, for example, in the classic Waite deck we see a naked female figure standing in the center of a huge laurel wreath. At the corners of the Arcana are a bull, a lion, an eagle and a man. The laurel wreath symbolizes complete victory, the final result. Crowley generally calls this map the Universe and, to be honest, I personally like its image much better. But since we “follow the classics,” we will dance from traditional images. Other names of the card are Perfection, Soul of the Universe, Cosmos, Absolute. This is something that is difficult to convey in words - the highest result, the eternal renewal of life, a new beginning after the completion of a difficult and long journey.

Key words and ideas of the card in the layout

Let's try to imagine what key expressions can be used to describe the meaning of the Arcana of the World Tarot, as we did with the rest of the cards.

• Undoubted success
• Fulfillment of all desires
• Happy ending to the course of events
• Interesting experience
• Completing the journey
• Solution to all problems
• Everything falls into place - “the puzzle is complete”
• International connections
• Wide opportunities and diverse perspectives

Meaning 21 Arcana in upright position

In fact, this card can be described in one single sentence - “this is a favorable outcome and the accomplishment of everything that a person has strived for throughout his life.” There is no need to add or explain anything here - everything is already extremely clear. Our life is a journey that begins with the Arcana Fool. Along this path, we go through all the Trumps of the deck, and this road invariably ends in the World card - it seems to close the circle, becomes the crown, the result, the completion. But this is not just the end, it is the end, which at the same time becomes the beginning of something new. This is a state when all the details fall into place and we end up with a complete picture.

The meaning of the card in an inverted position

The meaning of the inverted Tarot World can be different. There are three modern interpretations of the reverse card. The first interpretation is the properties of a direct map, but implemented with a time delay, i.e. all prospects will open, but a little later. The second meaning is the combination of success and disappointment. You know, it happens that a person strives for something all his life, and as soon as he achieves it, he feels some kind of disappointment or even regret. And the third possible option is the loss of something dear, something that was “the whole world” for the questioner, or the loss of the meaning of life, which, in general, is almost the same thing. There are also interpretations of this card as reluctance to change, inability to go on a trip, mistakes, mistakes, failures, losses due to natural disasters.

The meaning of the 21st Arcana in matters of relationships and love

Let's look at the meaning of the World Tarot card in relationships. What could it be? What will it talk about? What does it focus on?

Straight position

If we tell fortunes to single people, then for them the meaning of the Peace in Love Tarot card will be a meeting with their true other half, family happiness. For those who already have a couple, the interpretation may be as follows:

• Unity of souls and hearts
• Marriage
• Honeymoon
• Love on a cosmic level
• Fulfillment of the most cherished desires related to personal life
• Sexual harmony
• A union in which partners develop together

Inverted position

The inverted Tarot World can have different meanings in relationships, but the most common interpretations are:

• All situations of a direct card, but delayed in time
• Loss of a loved one and, as a consequence, meaning in life
• Reluctance to open your heart to change
• Fulfillment of a cherished dream associated with love, and disappointment after that

The meaning of the card in health matters

Let's talk about such an exciting area as human health.

Straight position

A direct card shows such excellent health that it simply cannot be better. Arkan often informs sick people about the process of recovery from illness. But for those who are sick with a very serious disease, the world, alas, faces death. In such cases, the Arcanum acquires its esoteric meaning and communicates that the person will get better very soon, but not in this world.

Inverted position

As a signifier of illness, the card can indicate spinal injuries, disabilities and other problems that limit a person’s movement. Another inverted meaning of the Tarot World card is poor health and a fairly serious deterioration in well-being, as well as postpartum depression (for women).

The meaning of the card in fortune telling for personality analysis and the individual’s state of mind

The 21st Arcana has very interesting interpretations, being a signifier of a person’s personality and character.

Straight position

An open, sociable person who lives in harmony with his body and soul. The person described by the card lives a full, happy, free life. Arkan often points to avid travelers. State of mind - finding true inner harmony and agreement with oneself.

Inverted position

The meaning of 21 Tarot cards, if it turns out to be upside down in fortune-telling about a person’s character, is complex, inability to find a common language with other people, a narrow circle of friends, inertia, and sometimes criminal activity. This card can also be used by avid homebodies. Such a person’s soul is “scratched by cats”; he simply cannot find the true purpose in life, often finds himself captive of illusions, and cannot take control of his existence.

Interpretation of the card in matters of career, finance, work

We just have to consider one more area and the manifestation of the 21 Arcana in it - this is professional activity.

Straight position

The meaning of the 21st Arcana of the World Tarot is complete success achieved through one’s own labor, following one’s true calling, triumph, victory, the end of an old stage and the beginning of a new one, resting on one’s laurels, great achievements, business expansion, entering the international level (for companies). In matters of finance - successful resolution of all problems, buying your own home, receiving an inheritance. Card professions - everything related to innovation, scientific discoveries, inventions, as well as traveling around the world, for example, working in a travel agency.

Inverted position

Everything that happened under the direct map, but received by a person not right now, but in the distant future, or achievements and successes that do not bring moral satisfaction. Arkan can also talk about a canceled business trip and the inability to find a job according to his calling.

Above the blue sky there is a golden city
With transparent gates and a bright star
And in that city the garden is all herbs and flowers
Animals of unprecedented beauty walk there
One like a yellow fire-maned lion
Another ox full of eyes
With them is a golden eagle of heaven

And in the blue sky one star is burning
She is yours, oh my angel, she is always yours
He who loves is loved, he who is bright and holy
Let the star guide you
Dear to the wonderful garden
A fire-maned lion will meet you there
And a blue ox full of eyes
With them is a golden eagle of heaven
Whose unforgettable gaze is so bright
(Henri Volokhonsky)

Characteristics of the Last Judgment Tarot:

Description of the tarot:

In Waite's deck, the Jester is placed here (although the World is still number twenty-one and the Jester is still number zero). From the point of view of correspondence to the Hebrew alphabet, this order is correct; Tav is the last letter of the alphabet, and Shin is the penultimate letter. However, in most decks the sequence of Arcana is not broken - the Fool is placed either at the very beginning or at the very end.

The 21st Arcana depicts a floating or dancing androgyne. He rose high in his aspirations. He holds 2 wands in his hands - this is a symbol of love and wisdom. He floats in the sky, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and ribbons. There are 4 animals drawn in the corners of the card, they repeat the idea of ​​the evangelists on the card of the Wheel of Fortune, and also symbolize the 4 elements. Hermaphrodite is a symbol of unity and integrity. One leg of the hermaphrodite is crossed over the other - a schematic image close to the sign of sulfur in alchemy. The dancing figure symbolizes the Universe. And her dance is an eternal renewal, movement, a cycle that contains the end of everything and returns life to the beginning.

The 21st Arcana is the opposite of the 16th Arcana: in the Tower card, the collapse occurred due to misused power, which was appropriated to oneself, in fact, without having the right to it. The reason for the fall is aspirations for false goals. In the World map, you have even more knowledge and power than what you aspired to at the lower stages of development. We achieved higher and more significant goals than those we dared to lay claim to. There is no danger of a crash here, because... there is no danger of making the wrong choice. Having risen so high, you see many paths, development options, paths - and thanks to your developed intuition, you do not panic about which one to take. Everything you do is right. You have the right to have what you have. You know, the purpose of your existence. All the answers you receive serve as confirmation of your true purpose. The culmination of hard work and overcoming obstacles. This is a reward for past achievements. You did everything you had to do in this situation, you became what you were supposed to be. And now, knowing that the task was completed flawlessly, you can move on to other things.

Awareness of your purpose gives you a feeling of peace and harmony with yourself. We flow freely into a single flow because we recognize ourselves as part of something larger. The world also reflects the human need for integrity, independence, the desire to be the master of one’s life. When we feel whole, able to take control of destiny into our own hands, and be guided by our intuition, this is the highest good. We come to the realization that everything in life has its time and place; we perceive the alternation of ups and downs, light and darkness as a necessary experience on the path to becoming a bright, original individuality. This lasso indicates the feeling of inspiration and freedom that we experience with the spiritual comprehension of the world and the growth of our self-knowledge. The World Map is a person who has found his half, who has reached the highest level of knowledge and harmony with the Universe. He's free. The journey is over. The soul has fulfilled its purpose.

“You are confident in your calling and do what you must. Having freed yourself from illusions, you were able to accept the WORLD as it is, and found YOUR OWN, unique place in it.”
(Papus)

Meaning of the card in the upright position:

The 21 lasso indicates newfound unity, peace and harmony. A happy ending to an event. This is a typical happy ending. In our hero's journey through the Tarot cards it is a newfound paradise, in everyday life it is the achievement of a goal. In rare cases, achieving the goal of a lifetime, most often it is the successful completion of the next stage, the feeling that we have finally found our place in life. We enjoy life from the bottom of our hearts. Now, more than ever before, you can control your own destiny. Understanding your nature, the forces around you and mastering them. The goals have been achieved, the training at this stage is completed. And it’s up to you to decide when, like a lasso without a number, to hit the road again, because... The universe is infinite and the path of knowledge has no end. But for now the transformation shown in the previous lasso is complete. You have achieved the perfect unity of spirit, body, matter and thought. The very name of the last card - Peace, speaks of a time of peace, a time without war, this is the time when the earth bears fruit, children are born, art flourishes. The world is our little world and the entire planet Earth with its continents, and the Universe. The short word World combines immeasurable concepts - space and time.

The name of the arcana is multifaceted. This is peace in terms of contentment and peace of mind, victory over the enemy, peace found after long trials. The end of the journey and a well-deserved reward. The end is the crown of the matter. This card connects with the Jester, the zero lasso. Completes the circle, the beginning was nothing and the end was nothing, but this is nothing on a completely different level. Nothing filled with meaning. Like in Zen Buddhism. You can not own wealth in two ways: either you never have it, or you renounce it voluntarily. Only the Emperor can abdicate the throne.

During the period of the 21st Arcana, you can make the most daring plans, because fate itself helps you.

In terms of the psyche - harmony between oneself and the world around us, inspiration. Inner peace is found through awareness of one's calling and purpose. You have stopped perceiving your natal chart, and particularly problematic places, as vile machinations of evil fate. The understanding has come that the vital task lies precisely in the reconciliation and harmonization of tense aspects in both the internal and external worlds. Only in this way can one understand the true beauty of the world. We see how, from the primordial Chaos of contradictions and opposites, an ordered Cosmos is structured, step by step, cleansed of filth.

The World card denotes long-distance travel, travel and international connections.

Reversed/negative card meaning:

There are no expected results yet, victory has been postponed, the time for big changes has not come. Don’t despair, don’t lose hope, know how to enjoy little things. The Inverted World, like the inverted Sun, does not carry any sharp negativity, but it can be a feeling of emptiness after the implementation of the project, like postpartum depression. Travel difficulties, visa problems.

The lasso can also indicate that you will have to return and finish what seemed completed. Difficulty and limitation in action. You are tied hand and foot by the current situation. Material opportunities limit development and personal growth, which can lead to frustration and give a feeling of missed opportunities.

Interpretation of the card in layouts:

Relationship: The union under this card is never a holiday light romance, such as with Strength. This is a genuine deep relationship. A couple accepting each other's weaknesses and shortcomings. Such people can live together for many years thanks to spiritual closeness and deep empathy. Established family relationships. With unfavorable cards, 21 lasso gives balance. Like, for example, the Emperor the Jester - you’re the boss, I’m the fool; The Hierophant and the Hanged Man - rescuer and victim; The Magician and the Hanged Man - one is lucky, the other is being taken. The Sun and Moon are the donor and the vampire. But in some combinations even the World card does not save, such as: Strength and Temperance, Lovers and the Hermit, Devil and Abstinence. When appearing next to the Emperor or Empress, the World card can warn of a desire to raise one’s social status and material well-being at the expense of a partner. With the Devil - about having a second family, or the desire to lead a double life.

With negative cards it speaks of a narrowing of the circle of acquaintances, focusing on one person - the light has converged like a wedge. Philistinism, a closed burgher world.

Studies: Completion of training. Excellent academic performance, if you are not yet among the best, then everything is heading towards that. In the negative version, studying has taken up most of your life, it’s very busy.

Business: Expansion of the scope of activity, reaching a new level, foreign business trips, profitable promising contracts. For work - you are in great demand, there are many worthy vacancies.

Magic:

An ecstatic dance to glorify life, rituals aimed at finding integrity and balance. Magical influence is too strong a defense; it strangles a person.

Questions for self-knowledge:

• Am I satisfied with my life?
• Do I feel like I belong? Am I fulfilling my purpose?
• What makes me happy?
• Do I live as easily as if I were dancing?
