“Leap of Faith”
Are you ready for a new adventure? The Fool marks the beginning of the journey through tarot. In your life, it marks the start of a new phase, new way of thinking, new place inside or outside of yourself. If you are seeing The Fool in your readings for yourself or others, it might be time to let go of what was so you can embrace what is coming. Welcome change with a playful spirit of internal adventure. The Fool isn't just about a new way of doing. It is about a new way of being.
With their eyes to the clouds and a companion at their feet, The Fool wears a flowery dress and carries a simple purse on a stick over their shoulder, symbolic of a carefree trust in life. They don't care how others see them, only how they define themselves.
The Fool has packed light for this new journey, reminding you to take only the essentials— a commitment to yourself and the willingness to embrace and flow with change. You probably suspect that some relationships need to end, and some of the stuff you have needs to find a new home. Don't be afraid to lighten your load so you can walk your new path with less baggage.
The Fool takes that iconic step off the cliff. And as the saying goes--"either the ground will rise to meet you or you will be given wings to fly." It's okay to trust this moment and move forward. Grieve what is lost, so you can welcome joys to come.
It may be difficult for others to understand why you need to go in a new direction. Or maybe the people around you have been waiting for you to finally answer a long-time call to embrace a new self. Your true friends are your witnesses, cheering you on, but they cannot make the journey for you.
The Fool is an invitation for you to find courage inside yourself and take the first step.
Remember the tarot is a story. Life is YOUR story. The Fool represents the act of opening the first page of a new chapter. It isn't the first chapter and it won't be the last. So take the leap-- so you can find out what happens next!
