MASTER:
The Ruling Master of The World is the Ascended Master Paul the Venetian. The vibrations and energies of the Venetian Master are of the intellect and the powers of emotion, and these are readily bestowed upon those who are interested in the study of the arts and music and the practical sciences. The Venetian Master bestows the energies of self-expression to mankind and radiates knowingness and knowledge to all who seek it. Paul the Venetian gives his assistance to those who feel the need to control their emotional selves, in which the ego has unknowingly gained dominance.



The Venetian Master operates from within the Golden Ray and works on the 3rd Ray energy.



TREE OF LIFE:
On the Tree of Life, pathway 21 connects sephira YESOD (9) keyword: foundation, to MALKUTH (10) keyword: kingdom.


The energy of The World combines the earthly foundation with the ‘Kingdom of God’ (or the Universe) to complete the cycle of or terrestrial existence. Upon completion of this cycle, we will begin new tasks that will also need to be seen through to completion.



HERB:  COMFREY
Comfrey is a demulcent and vulnerary and promotes healing. It is a tonic and an alterative. In ancient times, comfrey was known as ‘knit-bone’ as it was used to heal broken bones and the like.



Comfrey was used both externally and internally to unite torn flesh and broken bones. The tea made from the comfrey leaf is an alterative against fevers and lung infections. The root is taken as a demulcent for ulcers and internal injuries and bleeding, as well as to moisten and strengthen the lungs.



Symbolically, comfrey is used for healing and for pulling things together within oneself and in one’s outer circumstances.



The Divinatory meaning is to ‘unite’  -  to join together.  Comfrey is to encompass the whole and to experience the supreme feeling of union, healing and success.



THE MESSAGE:
The World card is perhaps one of he most abstract images in the Tarot, and is therefore a difficult one to fully comprehend.  It represents the completed journey of The Fool. The Fool has found freedom and the struggles of life have been temporarily suspended.



The World tells us that each day is a challenge, as life is continually changing. The journey never really ends because at the moment of completion, a new cycle begins.



The secret of The World card is integrity, which has it’s own rewards. The World tells of someone who has everything together, indicating total balance.



The World card stands for the peak of attainment, the reward for all effort; the crowing glory. But even in that moment of triumph, there is the knowledge of a new goal to be attained.



The World tarot card is a symbol that represents all that we can accomplish on our path through life. It tells of perfection, beauty, success, abundance and public recognition. It tells of where the cycle ends, only to begin again. The World card tells of accomplishments and of reaching one’s potential and goals. It makes us aware that in the completing of one cycle, we are at the beginning point of yet another.



The wreath symbolizes the ‘mystery of creation’.



The 4 elemental symbols depicted in the corners of The World card are the ‘balances’, and become the ‘cornerstones of life’.



The Lemniscates shown at the top and bottom of the wreath indicate victory and tells of the whole or complete person who is able to reproduce on their own.



The World dancer assembles the cast of reality in a festive dance, turning all of creation into a celebration and a unity with its creator. The dance is the journey through the Tarot. The dance and the dancer fuse to enter a close circle of completion, thus becoming one with the World and its creator. This is the dance of the history of
humankind.



The two wands held by the dancer represents the powers of evolution and involution, which they now possess, and also symbolizes ‘power on earth’. The dancer appears to be female in gender, but the scarf or sash hides the evidence or truth. The hermaphrodite is depicted in this way. The dancer has the attention of the four elements of the World  -  Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The dancer symbolizes the concept that the Universe is the ‘Dance of Life’, and represents the immortal, central self within  -  the eternal dancer.



The World, in relation to Scorpio, suggests that you can be triumphant in any undertaking as you have learned your lessons from the past. It tells of good vibrations for the many changes you are now preparing to make, and that you are free to accept new responsibilities. In its relation with Scorpio, it denotes the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new phase in your life. It combines the ‘Earthly foundation’ with the ‘Kingdom of God’, and the completion of the cycle of our earthly existence. You are now able to begin new tasks that will also need to be seen through to completion.



The World, in its relation to the Sun, tells of achievement and positive energies that are ours to work with. It indicates the qualities of leadership and success, and suggests that in whatever area of your life the Sun turns up in, you will be wanting to shine brightly in that area. The Sun’s energy is fortifying and vitalizing. It tells that the main expression of the person is individuality, and tells of the capacity of our experiences.



Being ruled by Saturn, we see the ‘teacher’. It indicates that we need to thoroughly learn the lessons of discipline, responsibility, contemplation, sorrow and delays. Saturn represents the principles of truth and wisdom, of aging and solidification. The World suggests that you are free to go in any direction, hoping you have learned the lessons of Saturn. Saturn is considered the ‘Task Master of the Horoscope’, and makes one look at what we are doing, and we need to rectify all mistakes. It suggests that we also need to watch where we are going and not make the same mistakes over and over. Saturn is the planet that can give one a great feeling of insecurity. Saturn’s message is, “we must learn the lesson”.



The World relates to the number 33, which is the Master Number of healing energies, and is the number of the Martyr. 33 is Jesus’ number. The Master Number 33 brings in enormous amounts of unconditional love and the higher energies of creativity. The Master Healer must serve humanity as it is the reason for incarnation.



The number 21 is the number of The World. This energy is largely concerned with friendship, and loyalty is paramount to this energy. The concepts of ‘Universal Brotherhood’ are readily grasped in it’s true meaning under the influences of the number 21. The number 21 reduced becomes the number 3, which suggests that there will be a period of suspended activity before future successes.



MEANING:
The World in a reading tells of the end of a cycle and brings in a new phase of life. It indicates the successful completion of a project or the happy conclusion of a phase in your life. As well as a feeling of contentment, there is a much deeper, spiritual sense of self-awareness and understanding.



The World in a reading indicates that vibrations are good at this time to make changes concerning both work and home aspects. You are now free to accept new responsibilities and there will be triumph in all undertakings.


The World in a spread indicates travel and movement; either a journey to be made or a vacation to be had, or a change of residence.



The World implies that it would be wise to undertake further, higher studies.



The World asks that you never forget what it took to get where you are today, and tells of challenges that have been faced and won.



The World appearing in a reading indicates that you are free to choose your own path. The World speaks of success with the assurance of honest achievement and successful conclusions. It is implying that you will triumph in any undertaking at this time, and will have a fulfilling life.



When The World appears in a reading it may be signifying a job very well done and you are to be commended. It is within your personal power to make important decisions for yourself and to make important decisions for yourself and others. You are reliable and trustworthy, and all you undertake will prove fruitful.



Emotionally, you may feel secure in the knowledge that you will be well respected and sought after.



The World appearing in a reading implies that congratulations are now in order and you can and should feel justifiably pleased with yourself.



When The World appears in a spread, regard its presence as an aspiration to seize the day and attempt to fulfill your desires. If you are contemplating a significant change in your life, this card indicates that it will be successful.



REVERSED MEANING:
Keyword:
Laziness, lacking in goals, lack of will, delay, frustration, inertia, stagnation, permanence.



The World, when it appears reversed in a reading, indicates a refusal to explore new avenues and this will not help you attain success. Stagnation has set in due to fear. You are inclined to resist change, so therefore, you are stuck in the present, unsatisfactory situation.


The reversed World card indicates a circle of frustration and boredom. A new approach is needed to break free of the cycle. Re-assess the situation and accept other ideas as well as your own.



The World tells of the failure to work at improving yourself or your situation because of your belief and expectation that the world owes you a living. The World reversed implies a holding back of personal development and asks that you make a change of attitude and make positive plans to help to alleviate the situation your currently find yourself in. Your personal integrity and self-respect should allow you to pull yourself out of this cycle.



Reversed, The World may be implying a stubborn attitude and a resistance to shift. This will not lead to positive change in your life. Be prepared to listen to and accept other people’s ideas and/or views.



When The World appears reversed it may be telling you that although you are working very hard, you may not be applying yourself in the right way. Look to new and different ways of doing things in order to find success.



Reversed, The World tells of being afraid of change, feeling insecure and showing a distinct lack of vision. It indicates that you may lack courage and conviction at this time. An opportunity may arise and you will have to act quickly and decisively, but if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, there may be regrets in the future.



The World reversed may be indicating that there is a reason to remain aware, and beware of some upheavals that may knock you off your path.



The World reversed tells that you have experienced many lessons in your life, but have not learned from them.



The World in the reversed position in a reading tells that someone who seems to be trying hard, is not really applying themselves in the correct way, leading to failure.

The Lord Maha Chohan sends strengthening energies that will encourage and intensify positive qualities of the personality. The Lord Maha Chohan works on the 3rd Ray energy.



TREE OF LIFE:
Within the Tree of Life on pathway 20, it connects sephira HOD (8) keyword:  splendour, to MALKUTH (10) keyword:  kingdom.



The energy of Judgment combines splendour with the ‘Kingdom of God’ (or the Universe), to allow us to emerge reborn.



HERB:  GOLDEN SEAL 
Golden Seal is an alterative, a tonic, a conigogue and is used as an anti-biotic to dry up mucous discharge and to purify the blood and lymphatic system. Symbolically, Golden Seal is used for an extremely over-indulgent person  -  one who eats too many sweets, has cravings for extremes of pleasure and fun at the expense of one’s own being.



The Divinatory meaning for Golden Seal is renewal, changes, awakening to the truth and new possibilities.



THE MESSAGE:
Judgment combines splendour with the ‘Kingdom of God’ or the Universe, to allow us to emerge reborn.


The Judgment tarot card represents the ‘Judgment day’ or awakening call which heralds a rite of passage. As one cycle comes to an end we need to prepare for a new stage of our development, and our future is waiting.



At the end of the journey through the Major Arcana, Judgment symbolizes the appointed time in a cycle or phase when a summing up of the process is required. All the experiences gained during the journey through the Major Arcana are revalued and examined. This is a time of which actions, decisions and choices are looked at with the benefit of hindsight, to see which decisions were sound and which were not. We are well rewarded for the choices which were sound, but are required to pay the price for ill-chosen decisions. 



The Judgment card reveals the time for this final stage of purification and transformation before the completion of the journey. Judgment makes the final resolution, the completion of the karmic cycle whereby we must reap what we have sown.



The Judgment card denotes ‘karma fulfilled’, and indicates an ‘awakening’ of sorts. Judgment recognizes a change in consciousness which is now ready to blend with the Universe. Judgment opens the doors to the higher consciousness and encourages you to find your purpose.



Judgment can be rather extreme during the healing process as often we endure inherent pain whilst going through the purification process. We will, however, emerge reborn, renewed and a whole lot wiser for the experience. In order to be reborn, we must go through the death, transformation and rebirth, which is the purifying process. During this process there will be much pain, both on the physical and mental levels.



The angel depicted on the Judgment card is the Archangel Gabriel, seen blowing his golden horn. The horn is the instrument of ‘final liberation’, the symbol of the Biblical ‘Day of Judgment’. The Archangel Gabriel indicates ‘divine breath’ and ‘cosmic fire’, and is the ‘Angel of Water’.



The seven basic musical tones are seen by the seven lines radiating from the golden horn. The blast  of the horn is considered the ‘creative world’ that liberates us from our limitations.



The bodies or figures shown rising from the coffins on the Judgment card are grey in colour, indicating wisdom, and reflect our ‘past selves’, our past values which we must now confront and judge. All the rising figures show expressions of wonder, adoration and ecstasy. These bodies are emerging from the emotional waters and indicate a blending of the conscious. The scene shows the awakening of awareness and spiritual enlightenment, and represents ‘eternal life’. 
 

The males depicted represent the self-consciousness/subconscious, and the child is the regenerated personality.



The banner shown on the card is perfectly balanced, indicating adaptation coming in an awakening.



The mountain indicates the height of abstract thought.



Being ruled by Pluto, Judgment is to do with the illumination process, as Pluto represents death and
transformation/regeneration. Pluto is regarded as the ‘destroyer’ and the ‘re-builder’. Pluto rules the underworld and that which is hidden, including your submerged or subconscious self.



In it’s association with Scorpio, Judgment tells of transformations and the urge to merge becoming greater than the self, through merging with another. Scorpio draws energies from others, making themselves powerful simply by controlling them. The higher level of Scorpio brings forward great natural healing powers.



Linked to the Moon, Judgment tells of the ebb and flow of emotions, of the nurturing mother-figure, and of how we tend to nurture others. It tells of the place we retreat to and hide, and of our feelings, reactions and responses in life.



In it’s association with the Master Number 22, Judgment tells of the need within to be the ‘Master Builder’  -  to not only help the self, but to also help the many to build a strong, solid foundation for the future. It also encourages that you go forth and show others how to build their own strong spiritual foundations. It is not an easy pathway, but one that brings great reward.



Judgment is the number 20. The number 20 tells of spiritual insights and enlightenment, awakening, new plans, new purposes and new ambitions. These gifts are to be used for the highest purpose and you are asked to go to your higher guidance for knowledge and direction.



MEANING:
In a reading, Judgment tells of wonderful things beginning to happen and you are to rely upon your own judgment. Now is the time to make all the changes you desire. You are being blessed with positive cosmic energies, so make the most of them at this time.



In a reading, the Judgment card indicates that now is the time when past efforts will yield positive results and rewards.



The Judgment card will also highlight any injustices in your life and asks you to be inspired to work towards the future and accept that signs of material success will come later.



Judgment asks that you break away from conventional modes of thinking, and listen to your own intuition. It is a time to sum up your life and actions so you know where they are leading you  -  as you sow, so shall you reap.



When Judgment appears in a reading it tells of work well done. It tells of a period of gestation, of warmth and
anticipation of future successes.



Within a reading, when Judgment appears, there is a focus on change and new developments. It indicates that it is important to deal with matters that have previously been put aside in order to advance to new successes.


Judgment asks that you self-assess your life and lifestyle. It may be positive appraisal and there is an acceptance of the past and a sense of satisfaction and achievement. The future can be faced without fear or trepidation.



Judgment tells you of an imminent awakening and renewal, which brings promotions and improvements. Concentrate on goal-setting using knowledge gained from past actions carefully and accurately. 


The Judgment card often indicates that there will be significant changes  -  new relationships, new careers, new home and/or residence, renewal and spiritual development.



Judgment appearing in a spread may be indicating a legal judgment in one’s favour, and tells of a new liberation which gives you guidance and vision.



Judgment states that there is no need for unwanted ties or bonds.



Judgment appearing in a reading may indicate a change in consciousness, which is now ready to blend with the Universe.



Judgment may be indicating renewed hope and faith within a marriage or long-term relationship, and wonderful things beginning to happen.



Judgment appearing in a reading tells of making atonements to help with the smooth transition of a phase, thereby allowing a new phase to commence.



When Judgment appears it may be implying that you may be called upon as a witness; maybe jury duty or a situation involving police and/or the courts.



The Judgment card tells of an end of an era or phase in your life, and the start of a new one  -  but we can only move on after we have taken a good look at the past and forgiven ourselves for mistakes made. This is not always an easy task. In reviewing your own journey, you must review your part in the various situations in which you have found yourself throughout your life.



REVERSED MEANING:
Keywords:
Loneliness, self-pity, negative attitudes, delays, confrontations, delays, postponements, hasty judgments, weakness, indecision, disputes, regrets, remorse, dissatisfaction, a fear of letting go, imbalance and imprisonment.



When Judgment appears reversed, it tells of feeling despondent, uneasy and/or lonely. Judgment reversed tells of feeling sorry for oneself. Judgment signifies change, and reversed it may indicate a feeling of regret or remorse and a feeling of dissatisfaction with the way things have turned out. This self-condemnation is damaging and usually unwarranted. Judgment asks you to accept the circumstances of what has taken place in the past and move on. Take heed of these feelings as they are a strong message.



Judgment reversed in a reading tells of wanting to leave a situation, but not knowing exactly how to escape.



Appearing reversed, Judgment may be indicating that you may be the victim of a poor decision or judgment. 



Judgment also tells of delays and postponements, and warns of the dangers of acting on hasty judgments.



Judgment reversed tells that is time to review your life, make changes and plans for the future. Judgment asks you to try new ideas so it may be advisable to change your job/career or maybe even move home to a new and different environment. Start over afresh.



Appearing reversed, Judgment asks you to not allow fear to hold you back or locked into an unsatisfactory situation. It implies that confrontations may arise from biased opinions creating conflict. It tells that you may be blaming others for your own problems, instead of applying yourself to find solutions. You are warned that procrastination prolongs the delay.



Judgment reversed may be telling of a prejudice and negative attitude which is causing unhappiness. It also implies that you are not admitting to your mistakes and this may cause you to enter into a negative period, so you are asked you confront reality right now.



The Judgment card appearing reversed may also be telling of someone who may be too involved with the spiritual aspects, and there is a need for this person to be more grounded in order for them to live realistically.



If there is a legal issue looming, the Judgment card appearing reversed in a spread may be indicating that a decision may go against you, and you may regret your previous behaviour.



Health-wise, Judgment reversed may be warning of illness and/or loneliness. Seek help and advice.

MASTER:
The Master for The Star is the Master Lord Maitreya. 

The Master Lord Maitreya serves the Divine source in the role of ‘Energizer of the Earth’ and the ‘Controller of the Solar System’.

HERB  -  SKULLCAP
Skullcap is a nerve nutrient and alterative. It releases the nerves and counteracts addictions. Skullcap calms the mind and heart and prepares the way for meditation. Symbolically, it tells of the need to look inward and to focus on that which is subtle within oneself in order to find inner-peace.

The Divinatory meaning for Skullcap is meditation, distant vision, goals and dreams.

THE MESSAGE:

The Star promises a change for the better. The Star has been a symbol of hope and promise for many centuries. The hope and inspiration which The Star in the tarot represents is vital for keeping a sense of equilibrium, particularly when life is at a low ebb. Without the special sense of faith and hope of The Star, we can simply give up.

Everyone needs a goal to believe in, and while that goal is alive within, anything is possible. If we stop believing and lose hope that things can improve, the light goes out in our hearts, and ultimately, in our lives. The Star, therefore, indicates an extremely important stage of the journey to understand and integrate. Our own attitudes to hope are critical to how we live in our lives, how we treat ourselves and others. If we do not respect our own lives, why should we feel any different towards anyone else’s? … but if we cherish and appreciate life, our attitudes begin to change. It is often when we are in danger of losing something that we begin to appreciate it, and that which we appreciate, we cherish.

The Star, being one of the most positive cards within the tarot deck, reminds us of hope and gives us inspiration.

The Star is the symbol of our faith in the future, and helps us to gather the forces necessary to expand our knowledge and to develop emotionally and spiritually.

The Star tarot card gives a sense of protection, inspiration, promise and joy, and encourages us to develop our inner talents in order to achieve our goals.

The Star brings forth hope, good health, insight and optimism. It can also bring forth a whole new meaning to life and the Divineness of Nature. The Star tells of the calm which follows the storm, and a period of search and quest.  The search involves finding a way for the Star of the Soul to shine it’s light. It is sometimes said that The Star card rewards a faith in oneself and in fate.

The Star card is one of meditation, as through meditation wisdom is gained and the animal forces can be controlled.

The Star of Hope symbolizes the magical side to the human spirit which never gives up believing in a better world. No matter how despairing, no matter how dismal, when we have hope we can carry on.

The Star distributes knowledge to all of humanity to awaken them to Universal truths and concepts. The Star brings about intellectual awareness and enlightenment.

The water depicted in The Star card is going in five directions, and represents the five senses. 

The Star is shown shining brightly overhead, with a female emptying jugs of water into a stream. The two jugs contain the ‘Water of Life’  -  one pours into the sea and one onto the land. 

The naked figure depicted on The Star card is known as ‘The Goddess of the Stars’, and indicates peace, contentment and well-being, and represents eternal youth and beauty.

The green shown is an indication of growth, and the bird depicted is the Ibis  -  the sacred bird of thought and mind.

The Tree represents the human brain and nervous system, and indicates the act of bringing intellectual activity and thought process to rest, by concentration. It is a message to stop and still the mind in order to meditate properly, for when we stay still truth is revealed.

The small 8 pointed stars, and the larger one all represent radiant cosmic energy. The smaller 7 stars correspond to the 7 Charkra centers of the body.

Being ruled by Mercury brings in the powers of the mind and the intellectual urge. Mercury helps one with communication on all levels. It’s action is quick and uncertain and sometimes volatile.

In The Star's association with Gemini we see the Air Sign that is the sign of the Twins  -  the dark and light sides, the conscious and unconscious  -  and has to do the intellectual and mental realms of thought.

In its association with Aquarius, The Star tells of humanitarianism and intuition. Aquarius is to do with telepathic communication and movement and represents the higher intuitive mind and is tuned in to the Universal Mind.

The Star is the number 17 which is a highly spiritual number, and its symbol is the 8 Pointed Star of Venus  -  The Star of Love.  17 is considered the ‘God Energy’ number, expressed through the spirituality of the number 7 and in the independence of the number 1. 17 tells of good fortune, power and authority. This vibration has the ability to do and accomplish anything one is willing to make sacrifices for.

Reduced 17 becomes the single digit of 8  -  the number of power, leadership, the teacher, the psychic and the healer. 8’s appearing in a reading is very positive and indicates positive changes.
