The Fool Tarot Card

The Fool can be whatever they want to be

As the number zero, there is no expectation placed upon the Fool, therefore the Fool can be anything it desires to become. Perhaps the Fool does not have an expectation of what it wants to become. This is ideal, for now it can discover, without hinderances, what it is meant to be. By following their own instincts and intuition, the Fool is not bound by any predetermined ideas or expectations of who they should be or how they should live their life.

With zero, nothing can be taken away, because there is nothing to subtract- no preconceived expectations and no ideas of how things ought to be. Without these expectations placed upon you, you are free to discover for yourself what is meaningful, pertinent, relevant and authentic to you.

For example, if you live in a society that places great emphasis on the outcome of a sporting events, say, a football team, and this society cheers for its victory, mourns for its losses, and overall allows the outcome of each game to effect its overall mood, you will inevitably get sucked into the mindset in the interest of being a part of that society is important to you. So, you are what society expects you to be. But are you authentic? Is this intrinsic to your true soul-level nature?

Deep within you, you know the outcome of this sporting event is of no consequence whatsoever. Deep within you, you know that your life is much more meaningful, in a way that is important to you, with things that are important to you. As a Fool, you know you must move beyond the expectations of society to find what those things are, and then to live them.

The Fool is not afraid to follow their own intuition to discover their authentic self. Those who break out of the boxes society has put them in to discover their authentic self, and by doing so, live a much more satisfactory. — Jim Larsen
