00. The Fool
The Fool lamb is dressed in colorful clothes, wearing a laurel crown symbolizing success. In his left hand, he holds a rose representing purity, and in his right hand, he lightly grips a staff with a bundle of experiences tied to it. This is not an ordinary staff; it is a scepter symbolizing strength. The lamb is so joyful and proud, looking towards the unknown journey ahead, striding forward without caring about the cliff before him.
Upright Meaning
The Fool represents a newborn lamb, a fearless young lamb. In divination, the Fool can also represent a newborn baby. The lamb holds the scepter so casually, seemingly unaware of its magical power. The bundle of experiences shows that the lamb is not entirely foolish but not controlled by experiences. The laurel crown on his head represents the possibility of success. The upright Fool lamb has boundless potential, numbered 0, symbolizing the lamb embarking on a new journey, which might be aimless and unplanned. The cliff represents an unknown environment, also indicating moving, transferring schools, or bold actions. He views things too simply, which cannot be judged as good or bad but shows boundless potential.

Reversed Meaning
The reversed Fool lamb falls headfirst, becoming hesitant and truly foolish. This state can be excessive or deficient. If excessive, innocence turns into stupidity, boldness into recklessness, individuality into lawlessness, representing carelessness and rashness. If deficient, it represents losing inner instincts, being overly cautious and timid, and losing courage. The reversed Fool lamb tends to make unwise decisions, needing to remain calm and act rationally.
