Symbolism in Fool tarot card
The Fool tarot card meanings can be found in the symbol of number 0. The number 0 symbolises pure potential and faith (0 is regarded as God’s number). All the major arcana cards have roman numerals except the Fool which has Arabic numeral zero. Since The Fool is the first card in the deck it also symbolises new beginnings. The posture of the Fool strengthens this. He is carefree, mostly because he is too inexperienced to be afraid. The dog in the picture tries to warn the Fool who is on his way to walk over a cliff. The dog symbolises your friends who try to advise you. Another interpretation is that the ground is not a cliff, instead, the land regenerates itself before the Fool’s footsteps like magic and the dog represents the animal side of our nature. The bag with his belongings represents having no worries and being emotionally innocent. The white rose is the symbol of silence and rebirth. The rose also represents the purity of his soul and the creativity and inspiration that flows through him, making him jolly and spontaneous. The feather on his cap is a symbol of air and it points to the sun which symbolises enlightenment. Is the Fool ignoring enlightenment by facing away from the sun, or is has he already learnt all its lesson? Look at the cards that flank him, especially the ones he faces for the answer. The sun can also represent that there is a bright new day, justice has been served, and the Fool is free. The yellow background represents the mental attitude of the Fool who lives in his head and needs to be grounded. The Fool represents freedom on all levels, not just physically. It is the kind of freedom you experience when you have no regrets.
The Fool is the embodiment of ‘Beginners mind’. When you start a new hobby and think of all the wondrous possibilities because you aren’t hampered down with the nitty-gritty technicalities is the essence of The Fool.
The Fool is in search of meaning and experience. He has everything he needs and is just starting out. In the Rider-Waite deck, the fool is seen carrying a bundle, all his worldly possessions. The number of the Fool is zero. The Journey of the Fool takes him through all the cards of the Major Arcana, which are numbered. Zero plus any number becomes that number, and in the same way, The Fool can become more than himself. Zero, however, is a cyclical number.
The Fool understands that there is more to life in a different paradigm than he currently experiences. Rose symbology is used in the Rider-Waite deck. The white rose in the hand of the fool shows, as white would suggest, purity, freedom. The explosive decal on his clothing represents potentiality.
The Fool is one of the most well-known Tarot cards, and part of the Major Arcana set. Much of the Major Arcana is told as ‘The Story of the Fool’. It is an important, and positive card in the Tarot deck. Fool here is used more in an ignorant sense, than that of a stupid person. The Fool simply hasn’t experienced enough. Unlike some other cards, The Fool usually represents the person the reading is aimed at and not somebody in relation to them. We all experience The Fool at some point in our lives, either when we are him, or see others who are.
With light step, as if earth and its trammels had little power to restrain him, a young man in gorgeous vestments pauses at the brink of a precipice among the great heights of the world; he surveys the blue distance before him-its expanse of sky rather than the prospect below.
His act of eager walking is still indicated, though he is stationary at the given moment; his dog is still bounding. The edge which opens on the depth has no terror; it is as if angels were waiting to uphold him, if it came about that he leaped from the height. His countenance is full of intelligence and expectant dream.
He has a rose in one hand and in the other a costly wand, from which depends over his right shoulder a wallet curiously embroidered. He is a prince of the other world on his travels through this one-all amidst the morning glory, in the keen air. The sun, which shines behind him, knows whence he came, whither he is going, and how he will return by another path after many days.
He is the spirit in search of experience. Many symbols of the Instituted Mysteries are summarized in this card, which reverses, under high warrants, all the confusions that have preceded it.
The conventional explanations say that the Fool signifies the flesh, the sensitive life, and by a peculiar satire its subsidiary name was at one time the alchemist, as depicting folly at the most insensate stage.
The Tarot Fool card is a jolly one, judging from the image on it. He may be a fool, but doesn't he look happy? Maybe that's what it takes to be joyous in this world. Ignorance is bliss. The Fool is my favorite Tarot card. Looking at it, I get a sense of his happiness, which makes me smile. It's the introverted happiness, and that's the most difficult one to obtain. If you're happy when you're on your own, then you are truly happy, at peace with yourself. This fool must have made it, because he look euphoric.
There are many kinds of happiness, most of them short lived, ending in the gloom that their departure induces. But the Tarot Fool has found something lasting - a joy that emerges from deep inside, seemingly for no reason at all. He has discovered that deep inside, he's content. Such happiness remains and is easy to return to.
The dog by the Tarot Fool's side can feel the authenticity of his happiness and that it's just as unconditional as canine love. So, of course they join.
Well, the dog does. The Tarot Fool is too inebriated by his joy to notice anything around him. He's by the edge of a cliff, his face turned to the sky. But it seems that if he takes another step, he will not fall. He'll probably just keep on walking - in mid-air.
The Tarot Fool card definitely indicates happiness. Whatever problem there was, it's gone as if all by itself, leaving you carefree. Other threats might appear, but they'll not damage the one who doesn't worry. The cure is always to never cease taking delight in life.
