Fool From   Tarot Readings for You for October 1-2, 2019 Tuesday-Wednesday©

Fool’s illustration shows a person blithely about to skip off a cliff with his dog beside him on a fine sunny day, carrying a flower and no provisions for the pilgrimage. Nothing bad can happen to him; he is in the zone. That is why Fool can mean a clear mind, or to clear your mind.

Fool as the zero represents things, shall we say, in larval form? You could say Fool represents reality before the big bang. That is why it also means the inception, the beginning, to start anew, incipient. Fool is native to the spiritual dimension, not present physically, and therefore nothing physical happens to him: He is impervious to influence, like a kid, free-spirited and careless like a kid, optimistic like a kid. ‘Doin’ my own thing’ like a kid. He won’t fall over the cliff because he isn’t in the real world, and God protects Fools and drunks. Fool is free … of everything.

Fool represents the subconscious and superconscious.

In real Tarot practice Fool is unconcerned, not thinking. Fool is ‘forget it.’ What, me worry? I don’t care. Just let it be. Don’t even think about it. Assume. Or forget. May as well be oblivious, having no idea like a free-spirited youngster.
