Can someone give me an indication of what The World as a life card means...I'm stumped as to how to apply this card. Some cards are much easier to incorporate, like Justice for instance would be balance; Strengh would signify an a strong will.
Think of the Star Wars quote, "The student has become the master"--and let's forget that it's Darth who says it
In Life, when we start anything new, be it learning about love when we're teenagers or learning how to survive in the work place when we're adults, we make mistakes. We learn from them. And we have our successes. And we learn from them. The World card is what you get when you no longer need mistakes or successes, you are a master, you understand completely and perfectly.
This is the card of Saturn, remember. The old man. Know why old men and women are often so grumpy? Because they haven't the patience to deal with what you're going through. They went through it, they know the answer, and they know you ain't gonna listen to them, even though they know. Life, it's ups, down, cruelties, weirdness, beauty, etc., is not a mystery to them. They had their eyes opened long ago and they haven't time to waste on young'ns who still have their eyes closed
That's the World card. It's having an understanding of something, of Life, because you've completed it. You're no longer the student, the apprentice wizard, you're Merlin. It's also a travel card. The world is yours.
