Remember it
A dancer inside the laurel wreath, the four creatures in the corners: every part comes together, complete.

- fulfilment
- accomplishment
- closing a cycle
- travel
The World is the final card of the Major Arcana: a journey come full circle, work completed, and the feeling that everything has clicked into place. In a reading it often means reaching a goal, graduating, finishing a project, or feeling deeply at home in your life. It can also point to travel or widening your horizons. Importantly, this completion isn't the end — it prepares you for a new cycle that begins again with The Fool.
