The Fool represents adventure, possibility, optimism, originality, and new beginnings.
When upright, the Fool represents adventure, possibility, optimism, originality, and new beginnings.
Oftentimes, he is labeled as card zero, but other times, he can be labeled as the last card in the Major Arcana. He both begins and ends the hero's journey.
When you pull this card upright, you're ready for something new! Perhaps you're looking for an unexpected and fresh adventure.
Directly opposite of its upright meaning, when reversed, the Fool represents recklessness, carelessness, and lack of thoughtfulness. When on the edge of something new, try taking a step back and thinking through your decisions and intentions. You may be on the edge of disaster!
Though you're probably not in any real danger, the reversed Fool is asking you to take a moment to think things through.
The Fool is asking you to take a risk! If you're wondering whether you should say yes or no to a new opportunity, the Fool tells you to say yes! Dive head first into the realm of new possibilities!
