This card can represent the fear of completion or success, procrastination when close to finishing important projects, or the tendency to start new things without finishing current ones. The reversed World suggests that true completion comes from within and requires integration of all aspects of yourself, not just external achievement.

This card can represent spiritual bypassing, seeking spiritual highs without integration, or the fear of spiritual completion and what it might require of you. The reversed World suggests that true enlightenment requires integrating all aspects of your humanity, not escaping them.
