Okay, so today I decided to dive into the meaning of “Le Monde” in Tarot. I’ve always been a little fascinated by Tarot cards, and “Le Monde” – The World – is like, the final card of the Major Arcana, so it feels pretty important.
I started by grabbing my trusty Rider-Waite deck. You know, the classic one with the lady dancing inside a wreath? That’s the one. I laid out the card and just… stared at it for a bit. I wanted to see what I felt before looking anything up. I noticed the four figures in the corners – the angel, eagle, bull, and lion. They felt familiar, but I couldn’t place why.
Then, I did what any curious person would do: I hit up the internet. I found a bunch of websites talking about the card’s symbolism. It turns out those four figures represent the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo. That’s also mean they represent the four elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Whoa, mind blown! I never would have connected those dots on my own.
Digging Deeper into the Symbolism
So, I kept reading. Apparently, the wreath is a symbol of success and completion. Makes sense, right? It’s like a victory laurel. And the woman in the center? She’s often seen as representing wholeness and fulfillment. She’s holding two wands, which symbolizes the past and the future. She has integrated everything, and that is why she can dancing with joy.
- The Wreath: Success, completion, the end of a cycle.
- The Woman: Wholeness, fulfillment, enlightenment.
- The Four Figures: The four elements, stability, the material world.
I practiced by pulling “Le Monde” in a few practice readings. One for myself, about a project I’m working on. It felt… really positive. Like, “Yes, you’re on the right track! Keep going, and you’ll reach your goal!” I also did a quick reading for my friend who’s been feeling a bit lost lately. “Le Monde” popping up there felt like a sign that she’s about to enter a really good phase, a period of completion and feeling whole again.
Honestly, spending this time with “Le Monde” was awesome. It’s such a powerful and positive card. It’s not just about “the end” of something, but also about the amazing feeling of accomplishment and the beginning of something new, built on a solid foundation. I’m definitely going to keep this card in mind when I’m working towards my own goals. It’s a great reminder that hard work and dedication do pay off!
