The World

A dancer moves inside a large wreath, with four creatures watching from the corners. Waite says assured success, recompense and change of place. The card marks a completed cycle and the chance of moving somewhere new. No card can assure a result, so read success as a stage reached.

Finishing a degree, a big project or a long stretch abroad? Mark it, thank those who helped, and tie up loose ends. Then ask where you would like to go next.

Inertia, fixity and stagnation close Waite's list of the Major cards. The dance has slowed just short of the final step, and something nearly done stays undone.

Name the last ten percent you keep avoiding: the final draft, the paperwork, the goodbye. Finish it or decide to drop it. Either choice frees up attention. Staying put can be a good decision when you have actually made it.
