The Fool

Trusting life in every moment, the Fool shows us the ultimate way to be. When you get this card in a reading, it’s usually a cheerful “Keep going!” from the universe, encouraging you to continue taking on every day as a new day. The Fool in Spoopy Tarot is a spunky ghost. This Halloween is different for them than the last, but they’re not afraid of what’s new. As such, the Fool represents unlimited potential, newness, and innocence. The Fool has no secrets—they’re completely transparent. Believe in yourself and trust life as the Fool does. You don’t need for baggage or hang-ups as you continue onto this new part of your life. The excitement you feel, all the possibilities, lean into them. Trust.

The Fool Reversed

The Fool reversed warns of a serious trial in your journey, one that will tempt you to “close” your heart. Closing your heart is similar to closing your eyes—while both these acts shield you from unpleasant experiences, you’ll also miss treasures of moments, sparkles of hope, glints of light that make your spirit feel alive. As such, this card reversed is a message to watch your step—you don’t want to make a careless mistake or take a risk that wouldn’t pay off in the best of circumstances. Risk-taking, although exciting, is inherently playing with instability. Is that really something you want to do? However, if this card is related to something that happened beforehand, it’s a sign that the hurt is past and you can grow from it and move on. The Fool is always a positive sign that this isn’t the end, even when reversed.
