The Fool

Major Arcana

This is tarot, a different tradition from astrology. The card is drawn at random: nothing in the sky chooses it. It is a prompt for reflection and it predicts nothing.

Tarot cardMajor Arcana

Traditionally read as a beginning made without a map: a step into something untried, taken with more trust than preparation. It is also read as a reminder that openness and carelessness can look alike from the outside.

Reversed

What the tradition associates with this card when it falls the other way up.

Reversed, traditionally read as a leap held back or taken without looking: hesitation at the edge on one side, recklessness on the other. The tradition leaves both readings open, and both concern how a risk is being weighed.
