The Fool

General:

In general, this card would indicate new beginnings in your life, especially towards your inner self. In many ways it indicates the purity and innocence of a child. Children are trusting and playful and this forms the base meaning for this card. The appearance of the Fool can depict an important fresh start in almost any aspect of your life. Life is cyclical and you will experience fresh starts many times as you grow spiritually.

Work:

Other people may not understand or support your new ideas or proposals, but if you know that you’re right, press ahead, and try to help them to understand where you are coming from. Do make sure that you are right, though, and that you are being stubborn for all the right reasons as the Fool can show naivety. The Fool can sometimes indicate finding new joy within your existing job. If, however, you are not satisfied with your current role, it can mean that now is the time to look for something new that suits you better.

Love:

The Fool in the context of love could indicate that you aren’t ready for a commitment. At least not yet. Even though others may be pressing you for one, now is not the time. There is nothing wrong with having fun but, by looking for fun a new relationship can blossom from that seed. If you are in a relationship, true love is not always instant so you need to make sure you’re aware that it could be creeping up on you!

Finances:

The Fool lets you know that no matter what happens financially, you will be alright in the long run. You are at the beginning of this part of your journey but you will come out on top.

Health:

It’s possible that you’ll be slightly accident prone when the Fool is appearing; be present in the moment and don’t take silly chances. It’s amazing how many pitfalls can be avoided with a little common sense, so don’t get carried away taking avoidable risks.

Spirituality:

When this card appears, you are likely to be in or nearing a period of experimentation. You may well have a desire to try out lots of different approaches to spirituality to see how they fit for you personally. There is nothing wrong with this exploration of possibilities, just make sure you don’t get too carried away in any one thing while you are “just shopping.” There are many possibilities out there and you will find the one that is right for you. If you are not yet exploring spiritual possibilities, then this card can indicate a powerful need to gain a deeper knowledge of spirituality. Your friends and family may not understand where this is coming from. Regardless of their attitude you must do what is best for you.
