The Universe
The Universe (or World) is numbered twenty one and is the final card
of the Major Arcana. We usually see a female figure dancing within or
upon the world, often surrounded by a laurel wreath. The four
elemental creatures can be seen, suggesting mastery. This is a card of
completion. The soul has attained earthly perfection after passing
through the final, self-imposed, trial of the Aeon.
There are many positive and enjoyable connotations to this card. There
is satisfaction, fulfilment and pride, because we have achieved
something. There is fruitfulness and bounty as a reward for our
earlier efforts. There is good fortune and confirmation that now we
are putting enough into life to get out of it what we need.
The Universe completes the journey and evolution of the Fool. We begin
in innocence, mature through experience and education, becoming wise
and measured. Balanced in this way we finally achieve the good fortune
and joy of the Universe. The traumas and self-imposed obstacles are
gone. We have integrated all parts of our being into a harmonious
synthesis which brings positivity and success into material reality.
Like the figure depicted in the card, we dance with the joy of life.
And again we are the Innocent.
Working with The Universe
The Universe is a card of completion - spiritually it indicates that
we have come to the end of a given period of development, and are now
prepared to move on into the next phase. This card will sometimes come
up to mark a period where synthesis of knowledge occurs, that amazing
moment when you realise how much you have grown over the last weeks or
months or years.
Completion occurs only in order to open our path to the next part of
our journey, so in some respects, the Universe is a retrospective
card, which opens gateways to our future.
On a day ruled by this card, try to bring something to a point of
completion. Expect the forces of life to join with you in that effort.
And turn your mind to thoughts about the next logical step once you
have succeeded in your efforts.
All things in life grow out of what preceded them - the plant grows
from the seed; the project grows from the idea; wisdom grows from
knowledge and experience. We are constantly developing. Our
understanding expands stage by stage.
But a Universe day marks an important point of pivot in our growth. It
shows us that it is time to take stock of what we have done - the
distance that we have travelled. And in taking confidence and
self-reliance from the progress we have already made, we can go
forward with trusting hearts, and high spirits.
So....recap your achievements on a Universe day, remember where you
came from. Then turn your face to the future and decide where you're
going! You can apply this to mundane tasks as readily as to spiritual
development - each depends upon the other.
Affirmation: I am a Child of the Universe
