THE FOOL
SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS, the Divine
Breath (Ruach), ventures forth in multiple forms to experience LIFE in the
valley of experience. THE FOOL
represents the unlimited potential of the individual to grow and
develop through the experiences of life.
The card indicates the immeasurable opportunities presented, in
addition to inherent dangers involved with living in three dimensions on any
planet. An esoteric meaning is that
through repeated foolishness the individual becomes wise, and also: “The
wisdom of God is as folly to Man,” or to the average human being. Serious food
for thought.
Spirit (pure divine energy) is the
vagabond adventurer wandering through form after form to gather experience in
various robes of manifestation. Each
kingdom of Nature is represented on this Key: human, animal, vegetable, and
mineral, the kingdoms through which Spirit evolves from the lowest to the highest
levels of expression and awareness.
At the human level the individual soul
carries the memories of prior experiences in the knapsack over its
shoulder. With eyes turned toward the
next peak of attainment, the spiritual vagabond ponders the infinite
possibilities of the vast unknown yet to be experienced on the adventure of
the soul on its never ending journey through Time and Space.
THE FOOL is astrologically assigned to the planet URANUS ¨, the higher octave of
Mercury £that rules
intelligence, the self-conscious mind.
Genius is indicated, unlimited originality and inventiveness,
unique or special talent or skill. Liberty or freedom is
demonstrated, sometimes sought to extremes. There is impulse, rashness,
recklessness or daring. Eccentricity
is possible, the desire to be different, individuality in terms of
personality expression or actions to be taken.
This card indicates new beginnings, the starting
place or leaping off point.
One could take a plunge into new areas of expression with the
uncertainty or anxiety inherent in venturing into the unknown or untried. Caution may be advised, yet there is promise
of excitement, enthusiasm, and anticipation. CHANGE is certain, sudden or
unexpected. There is no guarantee when confronted
with the abyss of the unknown on the brink of uncertainty. There is a guarantee from boredom and the
comfort of the known.
With a question spread, there is
absolutely no guarantee of any kind with THE FOOL as the answer. It may be wise to stop and breathe, to look
before you leap into the gaping abyss, lest one play the fool in the situation
at hand. And yet, THE FOOL
indicates the unlimited potential ahead that leads to greater freedom and perhaps
delights. As with most aspects of life
on earth, there is the element of risk. No guarantees, and yet there is promise of
adventure.
The
reversed card indicates major anxiety attacks or rash impulse, that which obscures
reason and could lead to embarrassment. One might play the fool. On the other hand, circumstances might
precipitate a rude awakening which leads away from erroneous thinking or actions
that stand in the way of achieving the heights.
