Imagery
The world card in the Rider Waite shows a woman inside a wreath. The wreath symbolizes completion, and success. Idea that it has gone full circle. The woman is nude and has a scarf wrapped around her. This nudeness symbolizes purity, suggests that she has completed her cycle and leaves as she came. It suggests she will begin anew, a fool. The woman looks back to the past but her body faces the future.The circular wreath is a symbol she has gone full circle and now she can begin again. The woman holds a baton in the center. This represents infinite and dive knowledge
Around the wreath we see four figures. A lion a bull, a cherub and an eagle. These are the four fixed signs of the zodiac and symbolic of the four elements, the four suits of tarot and the four seasons. They bring balance and are here to guide you into the future.
Astrologically it aligns with Jupiter. This planet brings growth and wisdom.
