The Fool
The Ruler: Air
The major Arcana starts with the Fool. He is represented by the number zero. In medieval times he was the court jester. An innocent in god’s eyes who said and did the most inappropriate things and got away with it. He chooses and does what he wants.
The Fool is the card of new beginnings and making choices. It represents unfolded potential which is neither good nor bad but contains both good and bad. The choice is the Fool’s to make whether to go on the good path or bad. He is at a crossroads.
Upright Meaning Of The Fool
This represents the type of person who is unconventional and does not care or listen to what others have to say. The fool does what is comfortable to him. He does not hide from the light; he is like the light of an innocent child.
This card stands for new beginnings, new choices to be made, new experiences and a new path or direction one is thinking about taking.
