A Tarot card deck includes 78 cards. A Fool card is the first one of these 78 cards. It actually represents a new beginning. The problem is that the card can not predict how this new thing would turn out in the future. This is because it is actually the start of something new which can not be compared to previous experiences. The Fool card totally defies rationality and logic of any kind. This is good as it creates an excitement and shocks the regular system. The title of this card is ‘ The Spirit of Aethyr ‘. A bearded ancient seen in profile is the image that can be seen in the front of the Fool card.

The Fool can represent the desire for rebirth. It can also be related to making a new start to life, but with an interesting condition stating that the future path is not mapped out. The Fool can be said to be nothing and everything as it is closely related to something new and a new beginning. It is like an Empty vessel that contains all within it. To be concise, the Fool is actually associated with fertility and the primal energy of Spring with the connotations of birth, rebirth, and transformation. One good example of this card is how Jesus died on the cross and rose again from the dead.

As a strategy, the Fool card of the Tarot deck is all about avoiding the common path that everyone else walks on. It is finding new viewpoints, new ideas, shocking concepts, beliefs, or views which are different from everyone else who is around. For some hints as to where the Fool might be going or what it might be depicting, look to the cards around it. But, while doing so one must remember that we may also be seeing nascent energies emanating from these cards. If you desire something different like something similar to a fresh start, the Fool is the card for you.

The Fool represents crazy wisdom that usually shocks the listener into new states of consciousness. You can never actually retread a tyre when the Fool is around. The Fool is an indescribable state of consciousness that works on impulse. It can never allow an external influence as everything is from it’s within. When the Fool struggles, there are problems getting out of a rut as nothing new seems possible. In the past, there are regrets over a new start that never materialized.

The number of the Fool Tarot card is zero. The Fool Tarot card can also be closely related to a foolish Man, idea, thought, spirituality, usually something that which endeavours to rise above the material. That is, if the subject is someone who is enquired about be spiritual. But if the divination be regarding a material event of ordinary life, this card is not good and shows folly, stupidity, eccentricity and even mania, unless with very good cards indeed. It is too ideal and unstable to be generally good in material things.
