The Fool
Major Arcana · Air
The Fool marks the threshold of a journey taken in trust rather than certainty. It invites you to notice where you are being asked to begin again with beginner's eyes, holding plans loosely. Reflect on what becomes possible when you stop needing the whole path mapped before the first step.
The image
A youth steps toward a cliff edge, face turned to the sky, a white rose in one hand and a small bundle on a staff over the shoulder. A small white dog leaps at the heels. Sun shines behind snow-capped peaks.
