THE FOOL - SYMBOLIC SIGNIFICANCE

The Fool tarot portrays a happy young man marching fearlessly into a new unknown world. It seems that it is just the beginning of his new journey and the man is quite enthusiastic about it and is striding ahead with full vigor. There is nothing but a bale which he is carrying in his hand for the tough situations that he might come across in this journey. The Fool is numbered zero which in a way is indicative of the infinite possibilities and opportunities that are waiting for this young man in his path ahead. Rather, there is a strong possibility of him encountering a challenging situation as it can be clearly seen that he is looking at the beautiful snow-capped mountains unaware of the dangerous cliff that lies below him. One reckless step and he could fall. But, somehow this risk and danger does not bother the young man. Infact, it is difficult to understand whether the man is unaware, too naive or too courageous. The dog with him is barking continuously to draw his attention towards the dangerous cliff. And, if the young man does not realize how risky his endeavor is and takes a suitable action, all the hopes and dreams he had might not come to fruition.

It indicates that you are blindly doing things or taking actions without realizing the consequences of the same.
