The Tarot World card is reversed:
The World being the card of achievement, her inversion only diminishes her qualities but does not succeed in reversing them. Thus things and events have not yet come to an end, contracts have not yet been signed, but the end is near. As a result, success may be delayed, and small disappointments may be scattered along the way.
For example, the upside down world card may indicate that you are on a quest, but you may not be able to reach it. No doubt you may encounter major obstacles that prevent you from advancing. This is mostly due to your conception of things and the path you choose to take that does not allow you to reach your goals.
It's also possible that the World upside down can cause a general feeling of dissatisfaction or you can't find what's important to you. It is possible that you may not be able to realize what is important to you. You can't finish your studies, your relationship can't end...etc.
The upside down World will also be able to express types of personalities or behaviours. An inordinate pride, a form of egocentricity...etc.
