The World Tarot Card in Reverse Meaning

When pulled in reverse, The World bodes a time of incompleteness. You may be feeling like you haven’t accomplished everything you hoped. It may seem like you’re running out of time to do so.

That feeling of falling short may pertain to an external situation, such as a milestone in your career or relationships, or an inner sensation of lacking closure. Whatever the case may be, you feel like you just didn’t quite get there, and it’s leaving you feeling empty.

What can you do? Look to the rest of your spread for specific guidance is a good idea. The World card could be telling you to keep pushing forward a little while longer, or that you need to let go and move on.
