Referring to the Rider-Waite image on the card, you’ll see that The Fool walks straight to the edge of a cliff without looking where he’s going. When The Fool appears in a reading, it is often a sign that something new and unpredictable is about to happen. This is the “leap of faith” card, reminding you to have faith in the Universe and in yourself.

This fool is often depicted as impractical, innocent, spontaneous, someone who is not sure which direction to take, or even where he may end up.

With each step he takes, he learns something new and moves forward.

You may be starting a new chapter in your life, or you may be at a crossroads, facing a critical decision. It is telling you to leave the past behind and start anew, to take a risk and take that leap into the unknown.

In order for a new phase to begin, the old methods must end. This is a card of transformation and change with deep spiritual meaning or a lesson that big changes and decisions ahead can be exciting but not easy to make. However, it is important to your future and its lesson and influence will soon become clear to you.

The Fool encourages you to tap on the wisdom you have gained through your life experiences as you begin the new chapter. He is open to taking risks and has the courage to let go of old habits and plant seeds of good intentions to achieve a new level of happiness as new opportunities for growth present themselves.

All in all, The Fool is a very powerful card because it indicates unlimited possibilities and infinite results. It represents the spark where ideas are produced and something is made from nothing. There may be uncertainty, but it is a sign of good luck or a good omen. Now is the time to let go of your inhibitions, face your fears, and move on to journey into the darkness and the unknown that awaits you on the other side. Immerse yourself fully in the journey but watch your steps.
