This info comes from The Tarot School:
April Fool’s Day has its roots in
trickery and lighthearted mischief,
a day when the unexpected catches us
off guard.
But what if we thought of
the Fool not as a punchline, but as a
sacred beginning?
In the tarot, The Fool isn’t foolish at
all, but full of promise. The card
invites us to meet the unknown with
open hearts, to trust the path that
appears as we walk it.
Here are some thoughts about The Fool as the
energy of beginnings, of creation, and
of courageous becoming.
The Fool is your beginning — the
mystery and delight of your first
steps, the moment when everything is
new and sparkling for you. You have no
past, no future, not even a present —
only pure possibility, as yet unrealized.
The Fool creates the world with his
steps — the ground rises to meet his
feet. There is no ground until he steps.
You create your own world with your
steps. Whatever decision you take, even
if it is to do nothing, creates your
experience moment by moment.
Your choice of where to step opens
worlds for you to consciously explore,
adventures to have, a chosen category
of experiences and surprises.
To consciously act with The Fool’s
energy is to be aware of intending
your steps, choosing your actions.
A conscious choice is effervescent
with bubbles of possibility.
To act The Fool is to be new, full of
possibility and promise.
To act The Fool is to see yourself in
everyone.
To act The Fool is to be fearless and
certain and committed to moving only
forward and never back.
To act The Fool is to create. The world
rises to meet your steps, and becomes
what you initiate.
To act The Fool is possible for anyone
at any time. It is your most fundamental
birthright.
