The World

Q: What does The World mean for love?

Emotional perfection / new chapter starts.. Singles find soulmate partners, with perfect feelings; couples’ relationships reach perfection after tests, jointly plan the future, and start a new emotional chapter (marriage, cohabitation).

The power of completion that is perfect and integrated. A naked woman, holding a scepter, dances surrounded by divine beasts symbolizing the four elements (human, lion, ox, and eagle), with a complete ring beneath her feet, symbolizing completeness and integration after going through all stages. The background is a brilliant starry sky, symbolizing that the world is an integrated whole and all efforts will converge into a perfect outcome. The dancer's posture tells us: Celebrate your completeness, for the end of every journey is the beginning of a new one.
