Tarot the fool card is the first card of the major arcana and usually represents the number 0, which stands for the continuous cycle of birth, death and life all over again. The occurrence of this card in a reading signifies decisions taken without careful attention. You may be in a fix or at a point in life where making a spontaneous decision may just not be the right move. The fool is signified as a young boy moving towards the end of a cliff.
Astrologically this card is linked with the planet Uranus. According to tarot and also with astrology in background, the fool represents the child within all of us. It is the untamed child who knows no fear and sometimes falls prey to unprecedented troubles. If this card comes as the first one in a reading, it is a sign of trouble for this is when luck has temporarily deserted you. However, if this comes in the third position, it may be wise to recheck the perception of things with respect to your decisions. In terms of health, the fool represents great but unused and disruptive mental energy and nervous tensions.
When the fool card appears reversed in a reading, it signifies that the dangers at hand could be much more than you probably are aware of. It is just not the time to trust anyone you don't know very well. If you are already involved with someone, you may find it difficult to pin down. If thinking of being in a relationship, this may not be the right person or the time to commit.
Look before you leap is the gist of this card along with unused potentials lying within you.
