The Fool card reminds me of male adolescence. The character depicted has just set off on his journey through the major arcana cards and has no idea what is in store for him. He has his whole life ahead of him and he's about to seriously fuck some shit up. Pulling this card tells a story of adventure, playfulness, and ripe potential. The Fool has a reckless and carefree way about him. Ignorance is bliss. The Fool's travel companion a small white pup tugging on his pants reminding him, perhaps begging him, to be careful and watch where he is going so he will not be made a fool. Some see this as a warning card. In other readings it may symbolize a person that is playful and not quite mature enough to anticipate the consequences of their actions. This is not always a bad thing of course; for those of us who like to micro-manage and be in control, it is good to pull this card and be reminded of how adolescents can easily let things go and move onto a new trend/relationship/job effortlessly. Adults tend to hold on to things more tightly; way more than the awkward and messy teenager...
