I’ve been getting the sense lately that though things are seemingly calm on the surface, there may be a lot more going on in the background/behind-the-scenes that we may not be [consciously] aware of, which is why I brought this question up to the Divine.






A: The World here suggests that there is a [Spiritual/energetic] Ascension and Elevation happening with global implications (meaning it may be felt across the globe). As the last card of the major arcana, the World is a sign of completion and culmination – about reaping the fruits of all of ones previous labors (which are depicted by the cards that come before this one). This is something that all of the Divine and entire Universe have been helping to direct and facilitate, so trust the process.
While we may have been absorbed in our work or our hobbies (8 of Pentacles) challenging struggles or literal quarrels (5 of Wands) seem to be going on in the background. This “struggle” may be happening internally or in our external environments, and we may or may not be aware of it. Some may be wrestling with internal demons – like greed, envy, lust, or illness (7 of Cups)– which may physically manifest as actual fights and conflicts with others. For others, the “conflict” suggested by the 5 of Wands may reflect a quarrel between love interests who are competing against each other for one’s attention/affections by offering an array of gifts (7 of Cups).
Whatever the case may be, know that Love will undoubtedly prevail (The Lovers), as it is the most powerful and Divine force in the Universe. So if the struggles are internal, practicing radical self-Love may help resolve them. And if they are external, practicing compassionate Love-of-others may help ease these conflicts. Regardless of the situation, practicing both forms of Love is always ideal.
In the background is the King of Pentacles, which could represent the individuals doing the fighting and/or the energy that you are currently embodying – of an independently wealthy/abundant and successful individual exuding masculine energies (regardless of one’s actual gender).
