The Fool
Il Matto
The Fool stands at the edge of a cliff, gazing upward with a white rose in one hand and a small bundle in the other. A small dog leaps at his heels. Numbered 0, The Fool exists outside the sequence — both the beginning and the end of the Major Arcana journey.
Il Matto si trova sull'orlo di un precipizio, guardando in alto con una rosa bianca in una mano e un piccolo fagotto nell'altra. Un cagnolino gli salta ai talloni. Numerato 0, Il Matto esiste al di fuori della sequenza — sia l'inizio che la fine del viaggio degli Arcani Maggiori.
Upright Meaning
The Fool represents new beginnings, having faith in the future, being inexperienced, not knowing what to expect, having beginner's luck, improvisation, and believing in the universe.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, The Fool warns of recklessness, being taken advantage of, inconsideration, risk-taking to the extreme, and foolishness.
Jungian Archetype
The Divine Child — representing pure potential, the beginning of the individuation journey before the ego has formed fixed patterns.
