The Fool
The Fool indicates someone ready to take the first steps in a new direction and explore previously untapped potential, embodying deep naivety and a tendency to live in the moment while looking ahead only to positive possibilities. The impetus to move forward is often impulsive—done on a whim—and the card's optimistic nature is buoyed by a bit of good luck and a predilection for adventure. Reversed, the Fool cautions against unnecessary reticence and urges examination of stubborn, petulant behavior while taking responsibility for missteps. It warns that anxiety about uncharted territory should not prevent growth or new opportunities.

Visual Description
A curled, jester-like figure in bright yellow clothing and a pointed hood hugs their knees and leans on a long staff with a small bindle. Concentric circular patterns in deep blues and purples frame the figure, surrounded by decorative red, pink and green borders with star motifs. The numeral "0" is printed at the top of the card and the words "the fool" appear at the bottom. The figure cradles a small white flower near their face and wears bell-tipped garments.
