Tarot Card 0 Meaning: Innocence, spontaneity, and Embracing the Unknown Path
We can learn a great deal from “The Fool” about believing in our innate creativity. He teaches us how to be present, how to proceed forward without knowing our destination, and how to take risks without fear of failure.
Utilize Your Foolishness
Imagining yourself as the card’s figure is one of the most straightforward ways to access its energy. Relax, close your eyes, and picture the card before you. Imagine the card magnified and in three dimensions, to the point where it resembles a real-world landscape.
Imagine that you are The Fool from the card. Feel the sun’s warmth on your back, the weight of the staff on your shoulder, and the scent of the white rose in your hand. Pet the dog with your knees. While standing, observe the distant landscape.
What is visible? Take meticulous notes on what you observe so you can record it in your journal later.
Enjoy a few moments as The Fool, and then leave the card. Observe the card diminishing until it is once again a picture on cardboard.
Activate your eyesight. What do you think? Have any changes occurred? Take a moment to jot down your observations in your journal. Remember what it was like to be “The Fool” and carry that vitality with you throughout the day.
Exist in the Present with The Fool
How much of your existence do you currently live? To be creative, one must be present and in the moment.
Lighten up if you find it challenging to be in the present moment. Be Stupid. Laugh it up! To view a humorous film or take the children to the park.
Focus on your breathing. As soon as you focus on your breathing, you will be in the present moment, you literally can’t be anywhere else. If you’re alone, close your eyes and imagine that you’re sitting on The Fool’s mountaintop, and simply breathe and enjoy the view.
Take the Next Step: Continue Advancing
One more step and The Idiot may fall off the cliff. However, he doesn’t appear overly concerned, does he? He appears to be enjoying himself, whistling a cheerful melody.
Where in your existence are you stuck? Creativity involves motion. Even if you tumble off a precipice, what foolish step can you take? Focus on your respiration, remain in the present moment, and move forward.
Take a Foolhardy Chance
By the time we are adults and have completed our education, we have typically lost the majority of our vitality. By the time we reach middle age, we’ve experienced so many disappointments that we presume our lives will never change. We overlook the ever-turning 10 Tarot Card, the Wheel of Fortune.
What would you do if you knew it was impossible to fail? The Fool reminds you that you can always start over, with a blank slate, whenever you desire.
Today, what risk can you take? Can you initiate a new inventive endeavor? Apply for new employment? Move to a different city or country?
Work with The Fool if you are Experiencing Creative Turmoil
You will spend the majority of your time working on creative projects (and living your life) in a state of creative disarray. Your response to the vast majority of questions is “I don’t know.”
This is an excellent state of affairs. Consider The Fool. Be present in the moment. Take the following procedure. Concentrate on the exhalation. Take a foolhardy chance. Utilize the energy of The Fool to assist you through it.
