The World - Arcana Major XXI
 The World - Arcana Major XXI
The world is the Tarot de Marseilles most positive major arcana.
The "World" is represented by a woman who wears a red light veil. She is dancing in the centre of a laurel crown; which is synonymous with victory.
Why is this woman unclothed? The reason is simple: she symbolizes the plain and honest truth; which is always naked.
These symbols remind us that the world is always rotating, going towards the future and never goes back.
The corners of this card are drawn with the four elements.
At the top left corner, there's and Angel representing the water while the Bull at the bottom left corner represents the Earth.
The Eagle at the upper right-hand corner is the Air and the Lion at the lower right corner figures the Fire element.
The symbolism of this tarot card is the foundation of life on Earth.
Basic Meaning:
The World in the right position: luck, win, brilliant success...
The World in the reversed position: failure, difficulties, imperfection...
Examples:
The World placed on the right of the Chariot represents a travel.
The twenty-first tarot card on the right of the Empress: symbol of popularity.
The World on the right of the Lovers represents the culmination of a project (betrothal, marriage ...)
When this Tarot de Marseilles' major arcana is placed on the left-hand side of another major arcana, the positivity of the World is tempered.
Obviously, if the World is located on the right of a card representing a dishonest character, it reveals their dishonesty.
