The Fool
Major Arcana, 0 — from The 1909 London Deck.
Upright
beginnings, faith, the unknown
Something is starting, and you cannot see the whole of it from here. The Fool is not naive so much as unburdened — he has not yet learned which risks he is supposed to be afraid of, and that is exactly what lets him move. Go, but look where you are putting your feet.
In a yes or no reading, The Fool upright answers yes.
Reversed
recklessness, hesitation, a leap not thought through
Either you are about to move without looking, or you have been standing at the edge so long the moment is going stale. Both are the same card. Work out which one is yours before you decide anything.
In a yes or no reading, The Fool reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.
What this card does in a reading here
A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. The Fool can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
