The Fool
Major Arcana

Upright
It’s time to welcome fresh beginnings with wide-eyed wonder like The Fool! The “newborn” (number 0) in the Major Arcana, it signifies a clean slate. When it appears upright in a reading, view it as an invitation to explore possibilities and take risks with an open mind. Ultimately, nothing can be predicted, and The Fool reminds you that opportunities arise by approaching each day with fervor and curiosity – just like a child would.
Whether it’s romance, a career venture, or a financial opportunity, The Fool encourages you to put your trust in the Universe and greet whatever lies ahead with freedom, optimism, and exuberance.
Reversed
While optimism is beneficial, The Fool in reverse position suggests that you may be acting recklessly, with little consideration for the consequences. It warns you against adopting an overly positive outlook. Perhaps you are caught up in a whirlwind romance or stuck in a tedious role. Or maybe you are about to make a significant investment. The card encourages you to step back, evaluate the impact of your actions, and adopt a realistic, big-picture view. Remember that while it’s important to enjoy the present, a well-planned future helps you avoid traps or dangers.
