The Fool

From today we start with meanings of each card, we begin with the major arcana and will move to minors. I request you to meditate on your a card each day that's posted here. You first meditate and then go through the meaning given here; as this will allow your imagination to go fully wild with the meanings. If you read the meanings before hand then you will limit yourself only to those interpretations.
I would again like to tell you that your feelings for the cards, your imagination, and what meanings you attach to the cards are most important as its you who is reading and the cards are personally energized to you.

The Fool-



The fool's journey showed us quite a lot about the fool, here's what I feel the fool means...

Element- Air

Keywords- Live freely, take risks, beginnings, winding up, fresh start, travelling, taking a new adventure, trusting the universe, be carefree towards troubles....

Appearance-

The Fool is a zero numbered card which itself says its not a card with meaning but shows beginning, and as we saw the fool's journey in three parts it obviously shows the fool's journey. It actually shows every soul's journey that is born on this plane and the major arcana revolves around his life and its experiences.
The scene aound him shows a bright sunny day which affirms that the journey of a soul begins with a bright new beginnings. He has a bag with his belongings that shows he has brought his karma's good and bad ones both, which are to be paid while on this earthly plane. He is walking down a cliff that appears broken yet is isn't watchful of it, this shows the naivity of any new born soul that doesnot know of the upcoming dangers. The dog is walking besides him which shows he is guided by his angels.
He has a rose in his hands and is walking down as if singing a song which shows the mood of the card to be 'happy go lucky'.

Meaning-

The card numbered zero points out to phases in life when a person comes down to a zero and has to make a fresh start. The phase can be just anything it can be a birth of a new soul, ending of a certain phase like finishing the studies and moving on in search of a career, ending of relationship and beginning a new journey in search for a better relationship with the 'experiences' tied up in a bundle as lessons, or just any other phase that completed.
The journey is unpredictable yet the fool takes it in a joyful spirit and takes life as it comes. His smile and happy poise show that he is very much affirmative about the positive outcome of his journey. He is seen treading carelessley on his path which seems broken ahead. This can only be seen by higher perspective from where we are at point the fools he cannot see it, yet he is so much happy walking on the unknown path.
When it appears in your reading it also means that fearlessness, adventure, a spirit of carefreeness needs to be developed. Life is meant to be lived freely and fully, nobody can live their life freely if they are bounded by fear or any other negativity that blocks flow of their life.
His naivity is seen in his head perched in heaven and feet about to slip off the road, which shows the innocence and ignorance of a soul on a path that he has never trhdged before. But life is full of ample such roads where we all have to travel for the first time at some time or the other.

Reversed-

Reversed meanings of fool says that you may be too overtly in taking adventours and risks that you are probably at the verge of loss and are likely to loose more. Risk taking is done with great care and once you get experience of it you never walk that path, but here the fool shows complete folly of walking the same path that might have given you a downfall.
The fool has innocence, but the reverse may show that you have overcomed that state yet you try to use it cunningly out of wits.
Be aware of the dangers coming ahead in your path. The path you are on isn't much safe. You need to 'take a look before you leap'. Purposely giving a closed eye look to life isn't going to make life give you less troubles. You need to learn from your mistakes and not create new.
It may not be the right time to pack your bags and move on, you still have something that can needs to be done. There is still some learning left from this situation. Don't runt away from this state or your lessons would be half learnt and you might have to come back to learn them.
