the fool
Jester's tarot card
The fool is a major arcana card in tarot, typically numbered zero or unnumbered, depicting a young traveler about to step off a cliff.
In readings, it represents new beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, or a leap of faith—starting a journey without knowing where it leads.
The fool can signal either foolish naivety or the wisdom of embracing uncertainty.
