Major Arcana 0 The Fool Element – Air

Planet - Uranus

Here we see a magical child with wings representing the child within. In a pack of playing cards he would be the Joker. The Fool represents our sense of adventure, of the unexpected, even of chaos at times. The child is only aware of the moment, in this case the flowers he sees. Every one of us, no matter our age, has the spirit of a child within. Our inner child is spontaneous, adventurous & most of all, trusting. The Fool shows us our greatest sense of freedom & adventure. It is this sense of adventure & trust that we need most at the beginning of any journey we may undertake. Ruled by Uranus, which most astrologers agree as an “eccentric” planet. The element of air also suggests we can be as light & as free as we allow ourselves. His clothes are green, in this case representing the colour of the heart. Meaning Expect a new sense of adventure, spirit of freedom & inspiration to enter your heart. You are safe, nothing will harm you whatever you decide to do. Divine light guides you. You will experience this as you allow yourself to enter deep into your heart & let your innocence & trust blossom. Reversed Foolishness, Lack of trust. Take a good look before starting anything new.

He has his own morals & ethics that may not always follow those of society. He is surrounded by orange, which is his lust for life. His outfit has galaxies within. He wears turquoise to ward off negativity. The pinkish purple red is the colour of his higher self. He is a master of illusion. A creator of worlds & therefore not unlike a mentor, hypnotist or N.L.P practitioner. He knows that all is not as it may seem & people interpret reality according to their own set of personal beliefs. The Magician is always centre stage & number 1 in any given situation. The planet Mercury suggests swiftness & great communication skills. The Magician is original & exudes self-confidence & will power. A master at manifesting what he wants. Meaning New Beginnings & ventures. A gift for creating what you want in the world. Great will power & self-confidence. A new potential will show itself to you. You are talented & more skilled than you thought. Your unique purpose for being here will be revealed to you. You have all you need to manifest your goals in the world.
