Description
After his intense Death experience, the Fool feels like the world is a new place and he is a new creature. The seemingly unsolvable dichotomies between himself and the world suddenly seem easy to navigate and effortless. Synthesizing what society wants and what he believes is no longer a chore but a magical act that he loves performing. He can hold two opposing views in his mind without going crazy. This is amazing! His inner voice is so clear and strong that he moves with confidence, never questioning his choices. It's like he can do anything and whatever he does is touched with magic, grace, and perfection. Life after death sure does seem like "heaven" to him.
Divinatory meaning
Easy grace in the face of intense pressure or difficult circumstances makes this situation seem extraordinary. Choices, actions, thoughts, words, all seemed touched with alchemy, with everything containing the perfect amounts of truth, compassion, and strength. It is not a case of simply mixing equal parts, but finding just the right ratio.
Advice
Combine the best parts of your reason with your intuition and you'll discover a magical elixir of perfect grace and ease, no matter how crazy or messed up the situation. Trust your inner voice completely.
Reversed
If reversed, ask yourself: What am I doing to sabotage myself? Why am I fighting against ease and grace? Do I actually prefer angst and struggle, crisis and chaos? Is drama more exciting than beauty?
