The World

The full force of the world’s possibility is visible to you in this card’s upright state, and in love, this means exactly what you think it means. You are at the apex of something great; all those plans you’ve been thinking of with your partner-- settling down, having a family, getting a family car, all of them are coming true, and you are having the time of your life. It may feel like your life is going along so perfectly- and it is! After enduring so much and going through a life full of ups, downs, chaos, and order, you deserve all the happiness that the world can offer. There is nothing left for you to fear. Separation, abandonment, even imminent death are inevitable yet also accepted as part of one’s life. These experiences have now become part of the reason that love and life are worth fighting for. As said, your relationship with your significant other will be at its peak. Indeed, they are the person that the divine has meant for you to love and hold for the rest of your days. And if you are single, don’t worry! Love will not abandon you. Aside from all the blessings that you have been receiving lately, someone will come into your life and bring with them the compassion, affection, and excitement you have been waiting for. Treasure these moments in all their glory and splendor, because this is truly a time of celebration and awe. This is love at its finest.

Like Atlas who carries the world’s weight on top of him, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the current state of your relationship. You and your partner may have gotten into one of those great arguments, and you might even be thinking about ending things then and there. But before you rush into your decision, think back and reassess everything that has happened. Is your fight even worth a hasty (and nasty) breakup? You did not enter a relationship just for the sake of having a partner. The bond that the two of you have promises commitment despite everything, as long as it is within reason. Rather than get too carried away by your emotions, it is best that the two of you talk things out before deciding on something that you might regret. If you’re single, you may be feeling sad and down about not having someone by your side. These are times when your emotions could flare, but where all else fails, use your reason. Indeed, having a partner eases the burdens of life, but the question is: are you even ready to have and become one? Maybe you just want the feeling of “belonging” to someone, and not the actual workings of a serious and long-term relationship. It is best if you would think things through. Better to stay single and still have options, rather than rush in a partnership and live with all sorts of regrets. This is a crucial point in your life, so whatever your decision is, decide well.

The World represents vastness, power, and overall supremacy-- all very wonderful signs if you’re looking to help expand your personal coffers. At the moment, you’re enjoying the fact that life is presenting you with so many options. You are at the pinnacle of your success. The World is your oyster. All the things coming your way can get overwhelming at times but remember: they result from your hard work and dedication. They are the fruit of your labors and the mark of your success. As such, your finances will give you the comfort that you have been aiming to have for a long time. Maybe you can even rest on your laurels for a bit. It doesn’t hurt to treat yourself once in a while; after all, what’s the point of living if you won’t have some fun? In your email, you might have hundreds of high-paying job offers, and your bank account is probably brimming with money from all your successful investments. Truly, you live in a world seemingly without limit, but for your sake, do not let your swelling pride become your eventual undoing. Like Icarus, take care that you don’t fly too close to the sun. Yes, your success happened mainly because of your efforts, but remember to stay humble and grounded. Your current situation results from the collaboration between you and your co-workers; remember to thank and give back to everyone who helped you along the way. Know that you can enjoy achievement without falling victim to arrogance.

The reversed World Card is an ill omen for your financial prospects, specifically because you may have a false perception of yourself. It could be that you’re wrongly seeing yourself to be highly skilled after only having achieved things once or twice. Now, it doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t smart or talented, but in business and career, you need to evaluate yourself realistically. Improvement doesn’t happen overnight, and success is not a guarantee of invincibility. Instead of gloating over your past success, use this recognition as a driving force for improvement. There's still so much to learn about in this world, and you can achieve so much more if you take the time to hone your skills and make yourself even better. If you choose to rest on your laurels too early, you would be nothing but a one-hit-wonder: memorable for what you've done, but not worth celebrating. There is no true sense of achievement, and you would find your resume and yourself somewhat lacking in substance. If you don’t want your world to come crashing down, you need to temper your pride. Just like that famous rap song, you need to sit down and be humble. Advancement in one's career and finances does not happen instantly but results from years of dedication, hard work, and commitment to the refinement of one's craft. You still have a long way to go before you can honestly say that you've conquered the world!
