Romance, Love Or Relationships:

When The Fool comes up in reverse in a love related question, it can indicate that your desire for freedom and independence could very well be interfering with your love relationship(s) and/or could be perpetuating the situation where you don’t have a committed relationship. If you want love, don’t be foolish. Open yourself up.

Card Meanings: Hesitation, Bad Choice, Indecision, Apathy, Distraction, Carelessness, Injustice, Irrationality, Stupidity, Negligence, Lack Of Fun, Recklessness

The Fool is a joyous and exciting card – combining both perfect trust and self reliance. As the very first card in the Tarot deck, it marks the moment upon which we embark on a new phase in our spiritual journey. When we explore new terrain, we are bound sometimes to encounter danger or challenge. The Fool’s energy gives us the power and self-confidence to move through challenges with an open heart, to recognise friends and to gather experiences to us as the true treasures that they are.

Innocence is a devalued quality these days. We forget that to approach life with eyes that are new each morning reveals to us more of life’s mystery than anything else. We cannot substitute the sheer growth permitted by trust and innocence with cynicism nor prior knowledge. So, on a day ruled by the Fool, we need to lift our hearts upwards and open them to the richness and beauty of life. We need to regard ourselves as travelling through a land of wonderment and joy. We need to encourage excitement and exhilaration, and to look constantly for that which is new and bright and hopeful in every step we take. We also need to trust to the life process, and to remember that, by and large, the gods have no need of our suffering, and every need of our joy, laughter and celebration. In readings he reminds you to keep your faith and trust your natural responses.

If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem.

Book Details
Portable Magic: The question becomes, ‘Which of the two sects should the five lesser planets occupy?’ For example, should the planetary trump the Magician, representing the active power of Mercury, be placed on the Lovers in the lunar sect, or on the Hermit in the solar sect? We don’t need to ask this question of the greater planets, the Sun and Moon, since they rule only one sign each.

Angel Encyclopedia: The Vita begins with the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden. Adam says that in order to repent, he will fast for 40 days in the Jordan River. He instructs Eve to go into the Tigris River up to her neck and stand there silently for 37 days. Eve obeys. After 18 days, Satan transforms himself into a bright angel and seeks to lure Eve out of the water with a promise of food. Fooled, she does so, and Satan takes her to Adam. Both Adam and Eve are distressed at Eve’s seduction again.
