    Brief Description

    The Fool wears a colorful outfit and a clown - like hat, dancing and standing proudly at the cliff’s edge.
    The Fool lives entirely in the present, experiencing the power of “now”. We can’t change the past, nor easily grasp the future, but we can reshape the present. Only the sun behind the Fool knows where he comes from and where he’ll go. Children often embrace this innocence, trusting life will always be kind. As adults, we may lose this nature. When The Fool appears in a reading, it urges us to take a leap and live in the moment.
