The World Tarot Meaning and Interpretation
Figuratively speaking, The World can mean you are feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, which is not an easy way to be.
It’s an excellent time to review how well you do at asking for help when you need it. Remember you don’t have to do everything on your own so learn when to delegate when you can and when to ask for assistance when you can’t.
General
The World is often seen as a card of completion, and it embodies the culmination of efforts and the realization of your goals. It signifies a time when you have invested considerable determination and hard work to reach this point in your life.
Your various experiences have shaped you into who you are and provided you with valuable lessons. With all the effort you have put into your journey, now is not the time to get cold feet. You are so very close to crossing that finish line.
Love
If you travel during this time period and you are in the market for a relationship, you may well meet someone while you are away. This will be true even if the travel is only locally and not very far away. Don’t be afraid to mingle or talk to strangers – that someone is out there and waiting for you.
Conversely, if you have been in a committed long-term relationship for some time, you are likely to find it rising to the next level. Things in the love department should be quite interesting but in a good way.
Money and Finances
If money has been a bit so-so for you then the appearance of The World is a good sign, and it means that this will soon change. You will find yourself flush once again, but there is a caveat though and that is that when finances do improve make sure you don’t go mad with spending. Moderation is key here.
It is important that you understand the lesson and begin saving and protecting yourself so that if hard times come again, you will be better prepared. But for now, you should be able to rest easier knowing that your finances are very likely to improve.
Work and Career
In terms of work, there’s a very good chance that you are working far too hard for far too little recognition and money. It’s important if this is the case to blow your own horn a little and to make sure that the powers that be don’t accidentally overlook your many positive accomplishments.
You may find it beneficial to look outside your own country for helpful information in how the work you do is done elsewhere and this could lead to some very interesting realizations. Remember that just because something has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean that it has been done in the best way.
If you are looking for work don’t get overwhelmed by the possibilities out there or even the lack of them. You will have better luck if you drill down and promote very specific talents and skills that you possess. It’ time to remember that old saying, “Jack of all trades and master of none.” You need to be the master they’re looking for and not the jack.
Health
Your health should be on the upswing. You may be helped by finding a healer who works with something besides traditional Western medicine. Don’t view this as an attempt to replace medical therapy because it isn’t. Rather it is to work in concert with it.
Doctors have different views about this so if he or she tells you, for example, that it’s not possible for you to study yoga and that it would get in the way of the treatment of your condition you may be best served by locating a different medical doctor for a second opinion.
Don’t ignore medical advice but do listen to your instincts about what is best for you. Seek out mentors with more information than you have. Educate yourself as much as you can so that you can advocate for yourself.
Please note: The health section is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a medical diagnosis – always consult your doctor.
Spirituality
You are likely to have several clear flashes of important spiritual insights during this time. Keep a notebook handy and record these thoughts. Although insight will often be given through dreams it is just as likely to appear when you are wide awake.
Share and discuss your thoughts with others whether that be with close friends or family or simply online. We are all on a spiritual journey and not everyone will have had your epiphany, so your insights are likely to prove valuable for them.

The World is a weak “Yes” but perhaps closer to “Maybe” than you would like.
The World Tarot Meaning in Conclusion
The World can often be understood as a metaphor for the multitude of responsibilities and challenges you face in life. When you say you feel the weight of the world on our shoulders, you are expressing a sense of being that feels quite heavy and burdensome. Such a state of mind is challenging to endure, and it can result in stress, anxiety, and even a sense of isolation.
It is, however, an excellent opportunity to pause and conduct a thorough self-reflection on asking for help when the load becomes too heavy to bear on your own. Culturally and societally, there is a promoted belief that self-sufficiency and independence are the only way to be and any other way shows weakness.
However, that’s not true. Life is inherently collaborative and knowing when and how to reach out for support can only help.
