The Fool in 5 Minutes

The Fool Upright: The leap. The beginning of a great journey, courageously stepping into a new role or making a bold choice from a place of trust and confidence. Returning to your most authentic self. Moving forward, having all that you need. The knapsack is represents that you have all that you need, but also indicates that you may be leaving unnecessary “stuff” behind. The dog is doubt and fear nipping at your heels but you choosing to continue. Rose is passion, white is purity. The sun is shining. Yes, you are stepping off a cliff, but take the leap and the parachute will appear (perhaps it is in your knapsack?) Great creativity. To others, your choice/s may appear foolish. Spontaneity. Trust your gut.

The Fool Upright Best Course of Action: Do it. Take the leap. Step forward. Create. Follow your instincts. Ignore the judgements of others. Be spontaneous. Trust your gut and step forward.

The Fool Reversed: Not trusting your instincts, not listening to your gut. Engaging in obligatory behavior, doing the proper thing instead of the right thing. Can indicate recklessness and true foolishness. You or another behaving in a petulant, immature or foolhardy manner.

The Fool Reversed Best Course of Action: Time to be the grown up. Do not behave recklessly, do not take the leap, do not take the risk, the time is not right. Accept that societal responsibilities may be required of you, and you may need to tend to them before you are free. Plan your next move. Pragmatism, maturity, caution. Hold, wait, restrain yourself.

It puts you into a state where nothing matters in a good way. You truly don't give a shit about anything and you're just happy as fuck as a result, because nothing matters. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, there's nothing to do, there's no point, there's no goal but there's also no boredom, there's no negative meanings attached to the meaninglessness, it's just perfectly meaningless and it's awesome. You're basically just like sitting like a cat on a windowsill enjoying whatever experience is before it, just being and it feels amazing.

I have just retired after 44 years of giving to others daily and I moved to a location I love but that others see as foolish. This card is great at this time in my life.

My husband and I just decided last night to "take a leap of faith" financially and career wise last night. This card turned up in my draw this morning. Yes!

You are my every day reference when I pull my cards. I’m still learning.

I like to think of the dog as being my spirit guides and intimate supporters in my life who are excited about me taking my journey and exploring life. The fear aspect personally doesn't resonate with me as a worried fear but more so a nervous excitement. I wanted to put this here for anyone who might relate or just be curious about it

[jacquelinem]

I asked spirit if I should apply to a certain job and this card came out upright. So there's my answer!

The fool defeated both an ice bird and an ice cream, R.I.P for the greatest dog in JoJo.

I just did a past/present/future out of a bad relationship.
Past 3 pents (his family’s bad plan, me going along with it for a year)/ present, 4 swords reversed (time to prudently get back up and start over) / and future - the fool - living most authentic self… starting over. I pulled it and went “nice.”

Thank you Madelyn for your perfect videos.

[dahlrussell]

I appreciate the calm, frank, thoughtful presentation and the way you consolidate the information into something very clear. Thank you. I look forward to listening to more of your content.

Just discovered your channel recently Madelyn, as I'm just beginning my journey with the tarot. I go by intuition and feeling, and appreciate the comprehensiveness and authenticity of your gifts and offerings. Thank you for these invaluable resources. Blessings!

Wonderful insights, thank you! This card jumped out of my deck today before I even finished asking my question, and it could not be more fitting for my day ✨

[glitchynikki]

I just asked if I should start a business that I had been thinking about for a while, shuffled my deck, and selected a card. It was the fool, upright. I was so shocked at how specific this answer was and I immdentely knew I have to do this. <3 <3 <3
