0 — The Fool

The start of the journey: openness, trust and new beginnings.

In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, The Fool walks toward a cliff edge with a small bundle, a white flower and a little dog, looking up at the sky.

Common upright themes

  • New beginnings, curiosity, trust, spontaneity.

Common reversed themes

  • Hesitation, recklessness, or fear of starting.

Reflection

  • Where in my life am I ready to begin again?
  • What would I try if I trusted myself a little more — while still looking where I step?
