Upright Meaning

A girl flies on a broomstick through skies full of birds; she flies too close to the sun, and this is dangerous. The Fool is here at the beginning of their journey. This card symbolizes boundless potential, reminding us that every day is a kind of adventure. The Fool in upright position tells us that now is the time to be "recklessly desperate" and surrender to a new adventure without particularly thinking about possible consequences. It's easy to complain and whine, to live while life is full of dangers, while doing absolutely nothing of what you want. The card tells you: trust and enjoy life, and also that you can only improve through your own experience.

Reversed Meaning

The Fool in reversed position warns: we shouldn't ignore the consequences of our actions. We may strive for freedom and carefreeness, but in reality this affects both ourselves and those around us badly. Be ready for difficult challenges. Sometimes you need to be spontaneous and bold, but sometimes consistency and reliability are required from you. And your main task is to see this difference.
