The World
You may be feeling like you’re coming to the end of one chapter of your life and preparing to embark on another.
The World card (Universe in some decks) speaks of a sense of fulfillment and completion as you put the finishing touches on a project or cycle and begin to tie up loose ends.
This version of the card is ripe with symbolic imagery. We see a sea siren or mermaid, framed by the mythical Ouroboros (world serpent).
Two human-faced fish are situated at the top of the card, gazing at one another. A pair of hybrid beasts safeguard the gateway between past and future at the bottom of the card.
According to tradition, the Ouroboros swallows his own tail and devours himself, only to be reborn again and again.
This represents the World card’s on-going cycle of past and future, death and rebirth, transformation and regeneration.
The mermaid is front center here, midway between the past and future. She’s risen from the sea behind her as she begins her transition across solid ground.
She only needs to cross through the gateway before her to complete the transition. She may need to confront her fears (the beasts on the other side), but if you look at them closely, they’re not so frightening after all.
This is the essence of the World card in this deck. We find that everything we need to become fulfilled is right at our fingertips: We can draw from the past to prepare for the future, as long as we’re willing to cross those important thresholds.
The card used for today’s tarotscope — The World — is part of the Deviant Moon Tarot, designed and created by Patrick Valenza.
