XXI. THE WORLD

A bird standing on the Earth is encircled by an oval wreath, with animals in the four corners of the card: an eagle in the top right, a rabbit in the top left, a lion in the bottom right, and a bull in the bottom left. The lion and eagle appeared in the Wheel of Fortune, with the other two animals replaced, symbolizing changes along the journey. This card is the endpoint of The Fool. The World is a challenging card as no one knows the ultimate meaning of the world. It symbolizes a perfect ending and another world. Reversed, The World suggests a slightly flawed completion.
