The Fool (0)

Before pulling cards with a new deck, I recommend scattering them across your bed and mixing them in a circular motion. This helps your deck settle into its own energy and develop a unique personality, making your readings more connected. Once you’re ready, you can look below for the meanings of each card in both upright and reversed positions.

Keywords For Upright Position
New beginnings · Innocence · Adventure · Leap of faith · Spontaneity · Trust

​

Keywords For Reversed Position
Foolishness · Recklessness · Naivety · Hesitation · Unrealized potential

The Fool (Upright)
The Fool is the very first step of the tarot’s journey it's pure potential, curiosity, and trust in the unknown. Upright, this card represents new beginnings, leaps of faith, innocence, and following your inner pull without fear of what others may think.

In readings, the Fool reminds us that sometimes the wisest move is to embrace not knowing. He stands at the cliff’s edge with eyes lifted to the sky, guided more by spirit than logic. The dog at his side shows loyalty and protection, encouraging him forward even when the path looks uncertain.

Be open, explore freely, and trust that the universe will catch you.

​

The Fool (Reversed)

When the Fool appears reversed, Spirit asks us to pause before leaping. This card often signals recklessness, poor planning, or hesitation born from fear. The cliff is still there, but instead of walking with trust, the Fool may be blind to the danger or too afraid to move forward at all.

Reversed, the Fool reminds us that innocence can slip into naivety. You may be chasing excitement without grounding yourself, or avoiding growth because the unknown feels intimidating. Both can keep you stuck in cycles instead of walking your soul’s path.

Spirit’s teaching here: trust is powerful, but discernment is just as sacred. The reversed Fool asks you to look closely at where you are placing your faith, is it guided by intuition, or by impulse? By aligning your steps with awareness, you can move forward with the same courage as the upright Fool, but with wisdom lighting the way.
