The World card, first and foremost, indicates the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.
It's the last card of the Major Arcana, the section of your deck that represents the Fool's Journey.
"The figure in the World dances outside of time and space within a wreath of victory, holding two wands symbolizing balance. "This card is a big up-level; it's an absorbing of lessons and wisdom that brings a person into a new understanding of their life and their role in it."
The World is also associated with Saturn, "the taskmaster of the zodiac, so it's also about hard-won lessons, growth, and the satisfaction that comes with it. It may not have been easy or pretty getting through it, but on the other side, you're at a new stage of life—wiser and ready for a new phase."
