The World Reversed
The reversal of The World suggests that you may feel stuck or incomplete, despite the closing of a chapter. There may be unfinished business or a sense of unfulfillment that keeps you from moving forward. This card calls for reflection on what still needs to be addressed before you can embrace a new phase.
