When The Fool visits you, know that it is a sign to embrace an opportunity with enthusiasm and optimism. The Fool calls for courage and trust in yourself, both of which must be well-rooted before you can take a leap of faith and begin a new journey. This card often represents new opportunities within your career or relationships, but can also be a guide when you find yourself unable to choose a path where many are available.
You may be caught at a crossroads, unable to see what lies ahead, and so you are left frozen in indecision. Drawing The Fool encourages you to take a deep breath and trust your foundational self; you may not be able to see the end of each road ahead, but the destination is only part of the journey. Choose a road that sparks your curiosity and forge ahead armed with the constructive feelings of anticipation, wonder, and awe.
Know that The Fool is not guided by cold universal logic, but rather by curiosity and optimism within. Allow yourself to embrace your inner wonder and imagination, and if you are devoid of these feelings, The Fool counsels you to rediscover and reconnect with them.
The Hanged Man dangles upside-down from a great tree, looking down at the world from an unorthodox perspective. Within him is a peace and understanding that can only be obtained through overcoming great personal challenges. Though he may be judged a fool by society, he is wholly confident in his actions.
Be true to yourself and let your actions/decisions confidently hang from your deeply rooted self-awareness. Do not put more stock into the expectations of others than what you believe to be right. Only when you value your perspective will you know when and what to sacrifice to achieve your goals.
This card also cautions against rationalizing damaging behaviors and habits. Ask yourself: are you warping your perception of self as justification to act out or fulfill a detrimental, carnal desire?
The Magician exists at a crossroads of science and the Self, flourishing in the realm of logic and understanding, and counsels you to practice discipline and self-control. It represents the infinite possibilities that open up to you when harnessing willpower and rationale within a creative mindset. The Magician also cautions against the temptations of power, control, and manipulation.
Your hard work and natural capabilities provide opportunity, but using those gifts to control or manipulate others will only taint the rewards life brings to you. Focus your will and hone the tools at your disposal, for the situation at hand requires disciplined action executed with calm conviction.
