The Fool shows a youthful, blond haired, androgynous figure charging ahead along his journey. He seems to be leaping out of a pale yellow sphere, onto a dark space. A ribbon of blue, decorated with what look like the eyes on a peacock's tail, lies between the two spaces. The Fool is dressed in a blue vest decorated with bright buttons and bells. Along the bottom of the shirt and around the sleeves are light yellow and green fringe. the Fool carries a black bag over one arm and holds a large white flower in the other. In the Fool's hair is a headpiece that seems to be made of white flower petals. His shoes look almost like fuzzy slippers with a flower on the top. The Fool is accompanied by a gray and white husky type dog whose tongue is out and seems to be happy to accompanying his master on this journey. The Fool is looking forward but his eyes are white, with no pupil visible.

The Book says: All is movement, all change. This is a precarious time. Take a risk, have faith, trust that you will be cradled. Every fall moves you closer to your own target of perfection. You are in the cradle of perfect love. Use this opportunity to create. Concentrate on the present. When walking, place one foot in front of the other; no matter how high the mountain, the peak is reached one step at a time. You are in the first mode of empowerment; detachment from outcome. Undertake the present enterprise because you must, but detach yourself from outcomes. The process is critically important at this time; do not concern yourself with the ultimate product.

Bees Buzz: This card speaks to me of exploring the unknown and being willing to take that leap across the safety zone. The yellow area of the card is that which is known and familiar. The dark space is the unknown and the unfamiliar. The Fool is blithely moving across the safety zone and yet he is not alone. His dog accompanies him. And dogs are famous for their instincts and their almost supernatural senses. The dog serves as a reminder to trust our instincts on this journey. We are often trained to ignore our instincts in order to meet social norms. But the Fool reminds us that it is important not to lose these instincts and that sometimes we have to go against the norms in order to explore new experiences and to enjoy ourselves. Sometimes we need to allow ourselves to look foolish to others in order to be true to ourselves.
