Leo\Aquarius

Sun\Uranus.

Fool + Ego.

The meeting of Ego and Fool led to a stunning situation. On the armrest of the throne sits a smiling jester. The King lies fallen, cast from his place. The Fool has knocked the ruler from his throne! For the mocker, there are no authorities.

He is the opposite of the sovereign, and in his bundle, as we remember, was a figurine of the king upside down. And now the jester does not strive for power, but only holds a mirror in which the king can see his true face.

The figure of the mocker in the picture is balanced by a bird, a nightingale. Does it signify freedom or hope for the restoration of former priorities?

For the Fool, there are no authorities.

In his bundle was a figurine of the king. He is the opposition. The card's background exactly repeats the Ego card. But the king himself has fallen from the throne and seen in the mirror, held by the jester (sitting on the throne's armrest: he doesn't need power) his reflection.

The jester's goal is to show the king his true face. The flying bird is a symbol of freedom. That is, our ego has fallen from the throne, and we have seen ourselves from the side.

Fool - absence of authorities.

King - egoism. Mirror - reflection of the true.

Healthy skepticism, absence of idols.

Status reduction, demotion to a lower position.

Situations in which one will have to experience a fall (in the broad sense) and as a result, possibly change one's self-esteem, humble one's ego. Internal revolution.

Paradoxicality that stops one. A time of unpleasant surprises. On this day, no one will respect the querent's authority and power, and possibly even old allies will betray them, from whom they never expected this.

This is worth thinking about and possibly changing one's self-assessment. The card indicates paradoxicality that may ultimately serve for the better.

Today situations will arise in which one will have to experience a fall (in the broad sense) and as a result, possibly change one's self-esteem, humble one's ego.

Only an objective view of oneself helps a person soberly assess their weak and strong sides.

It is necessary to treat oneself with a degree of irony and self-criticism.

If people point out your shortcomings, listen to others' opinions.

To overthrow ideals or subject them to doubt.

Absence of 'sacred' cows.

Unpleasant. Revelation of the true state of things. Shocking, not fitting into usual frameworks. A person cannot shake the feeling that they have been betrayed by those they trusted.

The true state of things turns out to be completely different from what it seemed. A new perspective shows something shocking, not fitting into usual frameworks.

Unexpected. Unexpected fall.

Everything is not as expected.

Unsuccessful. The partner, like a mirror, reflects our worst traits. But they help us see ourselves differently, from the side. The person did not suppose they were like this.

Revolutionary episodes in the union. Probably, one of the partners unexpectedly decided to show the other their true face. This can be a painful discovery.

In another case, the card speaks of betrayal or a situation where one of the pair mocks the other or makes public unflattering remarks to them.

Useful in such relationships can be the possibility to transform and the emerging tendencies toward freedom and creativity (the bird in the picture).

It is necessary to show courage to accept the situation without anger and resentment. You do not see the true state of things. Because of your blindness, you may lose everything.

The bigger a person's ego, the faster they will fall from the throne and lose everything.

Look at the situation differently. Look at yourself through another person's eyes. The Fool can be recommended to bring the situation to absurdity, and then, holding up a mirror, demonstrate others' mistakes.

And for the King, it makes sense to look at himself and the situation differently and not 'blame the mirror' if he himself is guilty of the circumstances.

Fall from the pedestal.

We would not so crave universal respect if we firmly knew we were worthy of it (Vauvenargues). How clearly people understand their mistakes can be seen from the fact that when telling about their behavior, they always know how to present it in a noble light (F. La Rochefoucauld).
