As we reach the World card, The cycle begun by the Fool Is completed. A dancer clothed Only in a scarf dances within a Wreath. In the corners of the card Are seen four figures of a man, a Bull, a lion and an eagle, Representing first, the four Elements; secondly, the four fixed Signs of the zodiac, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio (here, Scorpio is shown as its alternative Symbol of an eagle); and thirdly, The Four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They may Also represent the four cardinals Directions, the four winds, etc. The semi-clad dancer seems Female, but it is claimed that it is In fact hermaphrodite, having Characteristics of both sexes and Thus reconciling all opposites.
