Astrology: Associated with Uranus Element: Air (or Spirit) Keywords & phrases: New and unanticipated situation. Surprise! The Fool Tarot Card Meanings The Fool Tarot card carries the number zero, filled with unlimited potential of the moment before creation, as such it shows us that in this moment anything is possible. Sometimes termed as the ‘wild card,’ it carries an unknown factor and element of surprise. Waite refers to this card as, "He is the spirit in search of experience." When The Fool card appears in a Tarot reading it shows something new and unanticipated entering the scene, so it can be something of a curve ball. Expect the unexpected with this card because The Fool is full of surprises, usually of the positive variety but always look for the card that follows to see where the new beginning may lead. The Fool will take you into unchartered territory and new adventures, outside of your usual and familiar path. There’s a sense of childlike innocence and spontaneity, so you’ll need to stay open-minded and decide whether to take a leap of faith. The Fool is usually an exciting card when he lands on your horizon, filled with potential and possibility. Traditionally this card was associated with folly or foolishness, although generally the meaning has evolved over time it may still be considered in this context if badly aspected (surrounded by negative cards). If reversed, The Fool may signify being immature or behaving inappropriately, making bad choices through rash decisions, or avoiding risk and becoming stuck in routine due to apathy.

The Fool > Eight of Swords: Be careful to recognise your limitations and take appropriate advice before heading off down this path. Alternatively, self-doubts may prevent you from exploring further.
