MAIN MEANING
The Fool represents our inner child. It signifies the beginning of something new, impartiality and openness. The card symbolizes a carefree game, a simple joy of life, when you enter into the unknown without any expectations. At the same time, the card can also mean childishness, frivolity, naivety or even plain stupidity. Alternatively – wise simplicity, modesty of desires and humility, which we typically reach only at the end of a long and difficult journey. The Fool can be both a cunning person and a secret adviser to the king, the only honest man at the court. This card means a stubborn reluctance to grow up, or, on the contrary, the simplicity of character and mind acquired through life experience – you should make your judgement based on the entire card spread. The Fool always warns that something completely new and chaotic is about to burst into your life. You can bump your head a couple of times, but there is nothing serious to worry about.
WORKThe card shows that you are about to enter a new and unfamiliar area, but you will have enough curiosity and skills to manage these new tasks. In terms of possible events, the card can point at mistakes, some unnecessary actions, even irresponsibility. However, the deep meaning of the card is wisdom gained from any, even negative experience, and awareness of the limitations of any rules that you are used to following, as well as a chance to break these rules in order to achieve success.
CONSCIOUSNESSThe Fool signifies an amazement that always serves as the beginning of any learning and gaining knowledge. The card can symbolize both childish disregard of important things, and a deep realization that nothing in the world is worth taking too seriously. The goal of a learning process is to gain the same clarity of understanding this world as we used to have when children. Even when your goal is in your sight – don’t start looking for slippery slopes to shorten the path.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPSThe Fools is a symbol of the joy of life. However, the card can also mean frivolity and irresponsibility that can lead to unreliability and break up; but overall it signifies a union of two cheerful, merry people who find it easy to be together, who are excited to discover something new in a partner and love their partner for his unique character and it for its uniqueness and diverse interests. In terms of possible events, the card can mean a new romantic interest or a new stage in the current relationship, which is often caused by a birth of a child.
