The Fool Tarot Card Meaning (Upright)

I started reading tarot at 11 years old and now I am nearly 50. What I have written here is all channelled in terms of what I feel the cards mean. If you are looking to learn tarot or you just want to know my take on the Fool card then you are at the start of something.

To me, the Fool reveals the courage and determination that lies within us all. In the life cycle of the Tarot, the Fool is the start of the story. This card represents our childlike selves, or the beginning of a cycle. The Fool is often depicted as a young person, with knapsack in hand who is going places. And what will be the final destination? No one knows, but it does not matter.

And what will be the final destination? No one knows, but it does not matter. For the Fool, the lesson is in the movement, in the adventure of chance. The Fool often shows up in a reading as a reminder that we are taking life too seriously. The person we were before we understood that life can be burdened with an inordinate amount of responsibility. She tells us to break the routine, to try something new even if an experience ends up not turning out exactly the way that we thought it would. Bringing in new adventures and experiences builds character, and too often as a part of the human condition, we get stuck in the monotony of our lives and routines, afraid to ever make a change.

The Fool tells us that it is healthy to break a routine now and again. How else can we gain perspective and appreciation for the life that we have created for ourselves? Embrace spontaneity to find the truth. Shake things up. Express yourself. Do not be callous or cruel, but make changes and give in to laughter. The possibilities are endless, be joyous now. When this card shows up in your reading, consider yourself invincible. There is a step or choice that needs to be made that will propel you forward to the next stage of your development. You cannot and should not ignore this message. Look for opportunities that sprout up around you to do something that you hadn’t considered before, and then consider it. With the Fool, you are encouraged to throw your fear aside.

The Fool timeframe is normally that a new beginning will start in less than 4 weeks, it is about understanding that as a number zero change keeps on coming. In the fool you will find understand the cycles of life, that death and birth will come and you no longer have to be afraid of what you do not know. Here in this adventure, you are invincible. The Eternal optimist, the Fool is lucky because he knows no other way of being. He symbolizes unmitigated joy and he floats from experience to experience. The Fool is honest and hardworking and explains that being forthright is the key to releasing us from our constraints of stunted secrecy. Now is the time to make a choice, to lay out your goals and begin accomplishing them. He promises clarity at the end of the movement because no matter what happens when you put change into motion, change is what you will find. If you can find the joy in the change, then you will find happiness.

The Fool In Love (Upright)

Often we hear the saying, ‘Only fools give in’ or, ‘foolishly in love.’ These sayings are designed to express a level of care-free behavior that has at times been knocked down in today’s skeptical society. There is an overall sentiment that foolish means stupid and that you should always be in control. But this is not so always in life. Responsibility and foolishness both have their place in the cycle of your life. If you ignore the fool within, the romantic, the jester then you might become only a shell of yourself and your existence can feel pointless. Open yourself up to the endless possibility that this card signifies. Whilst pursuing counsel through the tarot about love and relationships the Fool says to tear down the walls that surround your heart and have some fun with the wild and ecstatic energy of love.

Now is an excellent time to pursue new love, to feel silly with someone or just to fall unconditionally in love with you. Embrace your inner fool and trust that falling into this phase is the point. If you get some cuts and bruises, brush yourself off and try again. When you feel fear, remember that you are never alone. Doubt is no more than indecision taking up residence in your heart. Make a decision, any decision and you will become free of the chains that bind you. You are blessed in the phase of the Fool. For more information on what the fool means in love click here

What I channel about the Fool As Feelings (Upright)

As fools, we realize that we have tried too hard to fit ourselves into a mold, where everything was dull and boring after a long-term commitment that was too restrictive. We must honor the child in us who isn't always capable of taking it seriously. It won't be serious, but he or she will try to make you laugh again. You may need to smile to get to know this person, but it will be worth it. The Fool Tarot card represents all these “new” feelings when you move into a new relationship, the gizzy days of living on a love high. As the lady in my tarot card goes on her journey through tarot, she is gazing into the eye of the storm, representing feelings of being  optimistic and carefree in response to the possibilities that lie ahead. As feelings the fool presents: enthusiasm, excitement, and anticipation, but with it they are passing and these feelings won't stay for too long.

What I channel about the Fool in Love Reconciliation (Upright)

This is my go-to tarot card of love reconciliation, taking a chance on love, being vulnerable, and being brave enough to start over are examples of what the fool encourages us to do. Our internal “fool” reminds us that sometimes it is necessary to let go of our pride, forgive one another, and begin again. The hope of reconciliation and the restoration of fractured relationships is offered in this way. Our journey of love reconciliation is ultimately a journey of trust and risk-taking. Through this process, we will be able to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the other person, which will bring happiness and joy to both of us.

What I channel about the Fool in Health Readings (Upright)

When it comes to health and wellness, the Fool card shows that there is more to be discovered within the body and emphasizes the need for physical activity. This card will usually show up if you have been living a somewhat dormant existence. Now is the time to get up off the couch and to pursue an activity that you have never pursued in order to help matters of the circulatory system as well as to strengthen the muscles for overall health.

What my spiritual work says about the Fool in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth (Upright)

When the Fool appears in a reading revolving around abundance, money making, work and wealth it is time to search for some new angle of the work that you have either already begun or to find something new completely. This is not to say that it is time to just quit your job, but when the Fool shows up, he tells us to pay attention to other opportunities that are blessing you throughout the phase of this card’s presence in your life. 

What I channel about the Fool as Action/Advice (Upright)

Fools remind us that trying again and finding healing is never too late, no matter how broken things are, she can step into the third eye for greater awareness. In my view, all things are possible when you have optimism and courage. Life's greatest rewards lie beyond what we know, so embrace the unknown. As long as you have the courage to take the leap and believe in yourself.

What I channel about the Fool in Yes Or No readings (Upright)

There is adventure and joy in the Fool Tarot card. Through an open heart and a fearless spirit, it will lead to growth and self-discovery. It can be daunting to ask if something is a yes or no; the Fool encourages us to take risks and trust ourselves regardless of the uncertainty. You can achieve the Fool's Yes by taking the step and committing to your own journey, but only if you are truly willing to take it.  To read my detailed analysis of the fool Yes or No meaning please click here

The Fool As A Person In my view (Upright)

They understand that life is a series of experiences, so they are unperturbed by failure. Their curiosity will take them to new heights despite their stumbles and falters. It is the Fool's adventurous spirit and inner strength that allows them to travel wherever life leads them. We are reminded to live life with an open heart, trusting that everything will work out in the end. 

In my readings, this is a risk-taker, unafraid of the unknown and willing to explore things in life. They remind us that taking a few leaps of faith is the key to experiencing life's greatest gifts, they are the essence of freedom and joy. 

What the Fool Means In The Present Position (Upright)

In the present position, the fool carries new chances and opportunities, and possibly a warning that you need to accept that sometimes you need to take risks and be open-minded about life. This is an excellent opportunity to make magic happen. 

The Fool In The Present Position in The Future Position (Upright)

No matter what our circumstances are, the Fool reminds us to live life enthusiastically and optimistically.  It is through the Fool's energy that we can set ourselves on our path of discovery whenever we feel lost or uncertain. Faith, courage, and hope are symbols of the Fool, who in the future position can take on the adventure of living life to the fullest, with new beginnings in store. In our darkest hours, she reminds us that even taking risks can bring about unexpected rewards. Fools encourage us to take chances and trust in our abilities despite any fears or doubts we may have. 

The Fool In The Past Position (Upright)

The fool often represents, to me, a time of new beginnings in the past, and the start of an undertaking. If you have changed your life the fool in the past this card normally appears. As an outsider, the fool in the past tarot position stands in contradiction to society's prevailing norms and values.

The Fool As Friendship Or Family  (Upright)

When it comes to friendship, the Fool tarot card shows up taking a chance on something new and acting "foolish." The Fool may point towards forming a new friendship rather than letting go of an old or unfulfilling one. A Fool also suggests being open to new perspectives and willing to explore the unknown to make new connections. In regards to the family, and home life drawing this card can represent a new start but more importantly, if a member of the family acted "foolish" it is important to forgive in the fact of conflict.

The Fool in the Reversed Position

When the Fool appears in the reversed position it indicates that some of the choices that are currently being made are fool hardy. For example in a work situation, you do not want to just drop your job just because the Fool arrives. You want to look for other opportunities and pursue them while also making sure that you are handling yourself in a productive way that goes along with current economic situations. Yes, quit your job when you have pursued a new job that makes you feel more satisfied, but do not by any means jump on one opportunity alone and then let go of everything else.

The reversed position of the fool stands for being overly ambitious, to the extent that you take advantage of others, or lie to get ahead. These behaviors are counter the energy of the Fool who wants you to be happy and carefree, not riddle yourself with more problems by being indiscrete or thoughtless in your actions. Consider what entanglements you are bringing into your experience by trying to get ahead too fast.

The Fool, when in the reversed position, is still a fresh and inspiring card, filled with wonder for new beginnings and carrying a sense of adventure. The Fool, having no context in the world around him cares not whether he is upright or upside down, for no matter what there is a journey to be had and there is a sense of freedom and spontaneous exploration. That being said, when this card is in reverse, there is a caution to be had as well.

Reversed Fool In Love

For new relationships, the Fool appearing in this position can indicate a slow start to a relationship. It really is the card of jumping into something too soon. For established romantic relationships or marriage, it can indicate impulsiveness and a need to stop and smell the roses and to check in on responsibility in life. 

Reversed Fool In Feelings

I always find readings about how they feel and then the fool appears indicates a sort of immature feeling towards the relationship. I am not going to lie, I do think this is a good card, but very much focused on those feelings of starting out. You know, starting out to be good, starting out to bring something to the table in love. 

Reversed Fool In Family Life

When you’re focusing on home or family life, the Fool reversed indicates a need to shake up routine. Consider how you are being too rigid regarding family members or where you may be spending too much. If there are home projects happening, the Fool reversed indicates that these will be completed successfully, but slower than expected. 

Reversed Fool In Work and Finance

Unless you’re considering a new position, the Fool card in all forms can be a warning card concerning finances and work. Not known for being grounded, the Fool upright can indicate needing more experience to get the desired position or not taking oneself seriously. In the reversed position, to me, it shows a person trying hard in the areas of job or money, but someone that is not getting the results they want. 

Reversed Fool In Health and Wellness

I do find this card is positive when it comes to health. I often see this card appear when something new is coming. The Fool in any position is about the journey and even when reversed represents an active journey, movement (usually forward but slower when this card is reversed) and a time of high activity. In the reversed position, the Fool tells you to focus on stress reduction and open your mind to new ways to look for things. Now is a good time to hold off on risk taking, cautioning against starting a new fitness routine.

Reversed Fool In Spirituality

When you see the Fool reversed and are asking about your well being, you need to understand that you can’t force faith. Now is a time to rely on your intuition. You may have a sense of missing something, and if this is the case, trust this feeling.

The Justice Tarot Card Meaning

The Justice card in a reading is one of the more ‘feared’ cards in the deck.

There is an overarching concern that it can indicate that there will be some kind of negative repercussions, or perhaps even legal issues in your future. While this can be true, as Justice does symbolize in some forms the legal system or the fine tuning of business; something else to consider is that the Justice card lays everything out for you exactly as you have prepared for it to. In essence, the Justice card best illustrates the just Law of Compensation: that which you put out you will receive back tenfold. Therefore, ask yourself questions, weigh out the pros and cons of any situation, and be sure that you are making decisions with integrity so that you can make the most informed decision possible.

The image of the Justice Card in the Rider Waite Deck is shown sitting on his throne in a red gown (symbolic of desire and action) holding the Sword of Justice which represents action and in his other hand he holds the scales, symbolizing balance. In this if your life is feeling off balance or out of control, Justice exists to tell you that now is the time for things to come to balance. Those that have wronged you will get their just reward and so shall you if you have wronged anyone. If you lead a positive, good life, then Justice will have no negative effect for you. Any negativity that your current circumstances accrue is representative of the action of swiping the plate clean so as to bring your situation back to neutral. Balance and sound judgment are necessary now. Investigate the key aspects of your situation and then choose what actions to take that are fair and honest. One should never try to swindle when the Justice card is transiting them, the sword will just as quickly swipe down on you as it will anyone else who is not acting according with the interest of their higher self.

Each of us has within us a range of emotions that should be used as a code of ethics, a way of appropriating action. When you have mental balance then you experience tranquility, you know the right way to behave. Now is the time to be decisive because the Justice causes you to be touched in the heart and in the spirit. Inspiration is available to you now, swift and focused.

Therefore if you are concerned that your partner is cheating on you, Justice will bring this out in the open. On the other side, if you are cheating on your partner or being deceitful, the Justice card will cause your actions to come out in the open as well. If you are acting the part, and being a good person in your relationship then you will get your just rewards.

With this card in my readings I am confident that the choices made are just and fair.

Take this opportunity to remind yourself how to treat your body well, because the Justice card does not give multiple warnings.

The Justice Tarot Card As A person

If you pulls in the Justice on someone, or for someone this person will weigh both sides carefully and consider coming up with a solution that keeps the balance.

The Justice Tarot card appearing in the Past  of a tarot reading in my many years experience means that truth seeking and truth delivering are the words that you need to listen to.

The Justice Tarot Card As Friendship Or Family

Justice In Reversed position

When I find Justice in a reversed position in readings it reminds me that grandeur and beauty should never be overshadowed by the veiled delusions of justice. The Justice card appears in readings in the reversed position when there is an aspect of your spirit that is unwilling to seek out the meanings behind the events that take place in your life. This means that you are not being wholly honest with yourself about the way that you are treating others or you are trying perhaps become successful by taking advantage. You are missing the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the lessons in your life and allowing yourself to live by default. If this is the case for you, then consider the fact that you may need to experience some level of injustice for things to right themselves again. The Justice Card’s sole interest is in perpetuating neutral grounds. If you were swept up in this experience and you find that the Justice Card is affecting you negatively, then just prepare yourself to do better next time. If you are expressing yourself in a  moral way, good in the eyes of Justice then you will reap the benefits of having this card at your side.

Family and Home - The Justice Card Reversed

Drawing the justice card in a family and home tarot spread is like letting yourself be ripped up and sold anew with an unflinching perspective. It surrounds you with balanced, non-judgemental understanding, and calls on your autonomy to decide what kind of life you will create. It asks us to confront difficult issues, set boundaries, and move on, toward clearer skies and better times for our families and homes.

With the justice card comes a sense of freedom, of being liberated from an oppressive status quo. And, it can grant us new beginnings at any moment when we accept its invitation to draw inner strength from within ourselves by intimately knowing what we desire for our lives.

Work and Finances - The Justice Tarot Card Reversed
