THE TAROT: THE FOOL 0

0:00Greetings, lovely listeners. Let's dive in to exploring the major arcana in the tarot. We begin with the first card of the major arcana, the full card zero. The major arcana is also called the fool's journey and it's no wonder why because the first card is the fool and he kind of kicks us off. It is a boy on the card but you know the fool is everyone here on earth embarking on this thing called life and growing and learning. It's a guy. It's a girl. It's you. It's me. We are all the fool at one point in our lives. The fool represents not necessarily us starting out our journey here on earth in the beginning only, right? It is, of course. But we can be the fool at any time in our lives, just like any card in the tarot. We can pick one and it can bring the illumination and insight

1:00into where we are at in our journey. Our journey is ever shifting. We are ever shifting which player we are in the major arcana or which card. But there is a syntax to the fool's journey. It does tell a story. We can be any card in the fool's journey at any point in our lives. But we're going to go through the syntax of the numbers and the actual fool's journey, how writer wait wrote the stack. So we start with the fool. Card zero. Zero is infinite. It never stops symbolizes the infinite journeys we are always embarking on in life, right? The card has a beautiful golden background. Yellow gold in tarot is always about joy and happiness intellect enlightenment. It can be about new beginnings and the growth that comes with it.

2:01And that really hits the nail on the head with the fool. The fool is a person who is starting a new journey. It's like the peace, the peace right before the start line on a game of candy land. Okay, that's where we're at. We don't know sometimes the journey is beginning. The fool looks up and away from the path he is walking. If you were to look down, he'd see he's walking off a cliff. This speaks volumes. It is about how he has no idea what he's getting into. It may be dangerous. It may not. But he's going to embrace the the journey. He is going to learn. He doesn't know it. There's jagged mountains behind him. They are capped with white, which matches the color of the sun, the divine. And it's about learning and growth in this rigorous journey he's about to take. But he's oblivious to it, you see. He's

3:02looking up high to the heavens and he's going for it. He just trusts. You know, it's really about taking a leap of faith. The fool card is. And with that comes the naivety of not knowing what that entails. And that's what the fool is. What I love is that it's a card about trust the journey. Take the leap of faith. There is an innocence to this not knowing. And it's beautiful. He has a wand on his shoulder that carries a nap sack. Wands mean movement action. Just just movement. And the the fool is doing it. He's going on the journey. He wears a beautiful cloak over a white undergarment. The white that matches the cap of the mountains and the sun and actually the dog companion by him. It means innocence. Embracing

4:05starting out at a point where you don't know much and taking a journey to learn much about it. Whatever that journey is going to bring you. And the cloak that is over his white undergarment, this I think is what I love the most. It is a cloak full of yellow expression and illumination with red mixed in like these little flowers. Red is passion, growth, fire, movement. And it is immersed on a cloak with green. That is healing. It's comfort. It's grounding. Green is roots. It's discovering who you are. And blending all that yellow and red, the expression, the passion, the figuring out with it. I love it. It is a card about transformation, but the transformation hasn't happened yet. It's a card acknowledging your starting point

5:08who you are. And being open, no matter what the journey brings you to learning something new, transformation because you will not be the same person that you are when you're on that cliff as the fool about to step into the unknown. You will not be that person anymore when you finish up your journey. The fool is very trusting in whatever needs to happen, happens. This is a let go of control card. This is embrace what you can't control. It is about trust in the evolved, trusting in the involvement and that you're going to be taking care of and spirit's going to carry you along the way of this journey. It is an open heart. It is purity. And some say the white dog, which is representative of purity, spirit's source, is the only companion we ever need. And that the fool learns or will learn to put his trust in all he needs is his intuition

6:15and to listen to spirit, which I love. To wrap up the fool, I would say it is a card that represents a new beginning having faith and trust in that spirit's guiding you there. You're going to go on an adventure and you're going to have some rocky times, but you're going to grow and you're going to be even more strong for it. You don't need much just the inner journey. That's what it's all about always. This is the card of the fool and it is a great card. If you pull it for a client, as I always tell my students, be positive with the clients, right? If you pull the fool card for your clients, be excited for them because they're about to embark on a new journey. Can be with the physical world, can be with the internal world. But the most important thing is that it's happening and they just need to trust that it's going to make them even more evolved internally,

7:17externally, the mind, the soul. Then they were before and that they can navigate when they keep their intuition and spirit and that connection, those little nuggles, niggles that we get inside when they listen to them and keep those close. It's a very exciting card. It's also a card about not taking it too seriously, just letting the waves carry you through this new adventure, don't resist because it's happening and to enjoy the right of the growth. Very lovely card it's never ending. We're always starting new journeys. It's a card zero. It is before it's just acknowledging it's happening. All right. And tomorrow we dive into the magician. Until next time, listen. There's bye-bye.
