#TarotTuesday - The Fool - 0

Further Symbology within the card is - Starting off on a journey (obviously!!), leap of faith (standing rather scarily on the edge of a cliff) Joyful (wearing a hat of jollyness) the bird (for Air) and the flower is for youthfulness.

Since It is the start of the year, I thought i would begin with the Fool - the start of the Major Arcana, and therefore the first card in a tarot deck.

So, what does the Fool mean? well, the Fool is the beginning of the tarot journey (sometimes known as the Fool's Journey) and as such, and is ruled by Air because that is what wakes us, keeps us alive and moving.

It's planetary correspondence is Uranus and

is a reactionary planet, it causes us to take action, sometimes, quite suddenly. So, the Fool, not thinking enough, packs just his lunch (no change of clothes, just his dinner - the bag isn't big enough for anything else ) and off he goes!
