The Fool
The Fool shows a young girl on a rocky ledge with a small dog and a jack-o'-lantern moon, symbolizing the excitement and innocence of beginnings and creative possibility. Her bag and the dog's presence suggest companionship and simple joys that accompany a first step into the unknown. The ornate fence and carved moon point to a world that is strange and wondrous, and when this energy flows it brings courage, serendipity, and new opportunities. The card also warns against reckless leaps, naivety, and refusal to prepare, urging openness tempered by practical awareness; reversed, the free-spiritedness can become careless risk.

Meaning
You see the child poised at the edge of a rocky ledge, the little dog at her feet and a jack-o'-lantern moon smiling down; the scene smells of crisp air and the bright charge of beginning. The Fool invites the reader into a story of stepping forward with a light heart, of curiosity and the thrill of unexplored paths, where the bag at her side and the playful dog signal companionship and the simple joys that accompany a first step. There is a crackling sense of innocence and creative possibility, and the ornate fence and carved moon remind you that the world is both strange and wondrous. When this energy moves easily, plans unfold with courage, serendipity opens doors, and bold trust births fresh opportunities. Watch, too, for the other face of the picture: too-quick leaps, ignoring cliffs and details, or refusing counsel can lead to folly and needless mishap. Reversed, the same free-spiritedness can become careless risk, naivety, or a refusal to prepare; taken upright it is a call to embrace a new chapter with openness while keeping a thread of awareness for practical boundaries.
