Keywords: New beginnings, fresh start, new opportunities, new experiences, growth

Yes/No: Yes

Upright: This fool is about to walk off a cliff. Some may say he is young and naïve and he has his eyes so focused to the sky that he doesn’t realize the dangers in front of him, while others believe that he is very much aware that he is about to take a plunge, but he trusts that the Universe will guide him and his angels will protect him. In tarot, the mountains indicate obstacles, and as you can see, he is surrounded by rough, jagged mountain tops. That tells him that this journey he is about to embark on will be filled with challenges, but once he reaches where he is going, he will realize it was all worth it. Maybe that is why he packs so lightly. In fact, the tarot deck is often referred to as the ‘Fool’s Journey’ and that each card symbolizes the steps he takes in life, starting with him taking his first step, and ending once he experiences the world. If you are getting this card you are being asked to take a leap of faith and to understand that a higher source has your best interests in mind.  

Reversed: You are overthinking things and way too into your own head to jump into anything right now. If the thought of taking such a big risks scares you into paralysis, then maybe you aren’t ready quite yet. Soon though you may realize that change isn’t so scary, and you may find the courage to make a move and I bet all you will think when you get there is what took you so long?
