To the Fool, life is an open book. Nothing has boundaries, divisions, or limits.
A world without limits can be a wonderful thing or a total disaster.
To the Fool, life is an open book. Nothing has boundaries, divisions, or limits. A world without limits can be a wonderful thing or a total disaster.
On the beautiful side, the Fool’s reality brings freedom. You can travel unhindered, soaking in the landscape and marveling at a world of possibility. You’re allowed to reinvent your persona. You can dabble in a smattering of life paths and explore your potential. You can fall off of that great cliff into love. So, the Fool can encourage a leap into the abyss of the unknown road and ask you to laugh along the way.
On the disaster side, the Fool can indicate that you’re about to leap into a big sea of regrets. Are you acting impulsively? Are you flinging yourself headfirst into a tsunami? The Fool can warn that you’re about to involve yourself in folly. Or, that you need to slow down and reconsider your decision. This is more likely to be the case if the card is drawn reversed.
To know which side of the Fool is presenting, take note of its placement. If the Fool is outnumbered by cards that are logical (or if the card’s reversed) and about moderation, then your answer is to stay put, reconsider, or wait until you have more news or information before making a decision.
Ultimately, though, most often, the Fool’s story is one of possibility. What happens when you see your world without limits?
Welcome the unknown and the new–unless your impulses tend towards swamp town. The Fool encourages a leap into clear water; avoid dives that muddy the spirit.
