The World Tarot Card Meaning (Completion, Fulfillment and Wholeness)
A figure dances inside a wreath with the four creatures at the corners, holding a wand in each hand. A full circuit, closed. Something you have been inside of for a long time is finishing, and the ending deserves marking before the next thing starts. What are you not letting yourself call finished?

Reversed Meaning
Core meaning: Incompletion, delays, or seeking closure
