I'm wondering about the Fool card. Sometimes it appears to me in layouts and I don't quite know how to interpret it. It supposedly symbolizes a new beginning, but does it always? What are your experiences with this card, what meanings do you associate with it?
The Fool is a card with many faces. In fact, it often symbolizes a new beginning, but also innocence, spontaneity, and sometimes even foolishness or recklessness. It depends on the context and other cards in the distribution.
Once at a fortune teller I was shown the Fool in combination with the Death card. The psychic said that I was facing a big change in life. And indeed, I lost my job, but then I found a better one 🙂
@arkania Death is a card of transformation, the end of one stage and the beginning of a new one. In combination with the Fool, it can mean a leap into the unknown, the beginning of something completely new and unexpected.
Fool can also symbolize the need to take risks, to jump into deep water. Sometimes you need to trust your intuition and just jump.
