This card speaks of completion, cycles, balance, and integration. It's also the last of the major arcana, so while it's an ending, it makes space for a new beginning. Or it carries the seed of a new beginning.
.
The World shows up when you have fully integrated a karmic lesson, and it's part of you now. Its something that you embody, you have the knowledge of this lesson in your muscle memory, and you don't ever have to go back to this lesson in the same way again. You did it, you graduated from this level of life school!
.
The World is really really good and important, but doesn't always "feel good," like most endings it's bittersweet. That's because it's whole, you get the bitter and the sweet.
.
The World also can appear when it's time to put to use the lessons you've learned, as a way of moving into the next spiral. Because it takes time to integrate experiences, and you may not be ready to move to the next thing right off the bat. (This is how it's showing up for me with this pull.)
.
Whatever changes you're going through, they are always lessons, and they always have something that makes you stronger and helps you understand yourself more. Trust yourself and your timing and remember to give yourself credit for how far you've come and how much you've learned.
Group Reading, and Thank You
Thank you to everyone I had the honor of meeting and serving tonight at Chelsea Wine Vault's Cabernet Carnival. I love reading at events and getting to talk with so many amazing people!
A few cards kept popping up over and over, and together they're a group reading for all of us tonight. Three of Pentacles, Five of Cups, The World, Judgement.
We're all learning to honor loss while being grateful for what's still here. We're learning to work together, that truly we have to work together to get anything important done. And we're waking up first as individuals, to our own potential, and then as a collective to our combined power. We're ready to do the work and change the world.
So let's get started.
