Tarot Card of the Day: The Fool Reversed

Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message.  YOU DID.
MEANING:  The Fool is an indicator of newness; as well as the open-hearted energy of a child. This is a positive card, with the caveat that it’s important to take time to be sure that you are looking where you’re going.  In reversal, The Fool can show that there is a need for a new beginning, but that there is some hesitancy about making it happen.  This card indicates new beginnings that have some deeper spiritual meaning – and in reversal it can mean that you have some level of resistance toward this new beginning. Sometimes in this context it can mean that the “fresh start” is coming, whether you want it or not.

Work: You may have ideas and plans for work which you are hesitant about putting out there. Have faith in yourself and give voice to your ideas. It could pay off more than you’d imagine. You may be feeling a longing to start a new position – or even that the time could be right for you to go off on your own and start your own business. Give these potential changes some thought.

Love: Your desire for freedom and independence could be interfering with your love relationships. If you want love, don’t be foolish. Open yourself up.

Finances: In terms of finances, the Fool reversed sounds a cautionary note. You may have some special opportunities which could pay off for you financially. However, before you sign on any dotted lines,  do your due diligence. All may not be as it appears on the surface.

Health: The Fool reversed underscores the need to be present in the moment and don’t take silly chances, as to avoid accidents. With the reversed fool, if you have been having health problems, this is a signifier to reach out and consider different modalities of healing and/or possibly even a different doctor. Positive thought is important and you should pay attention to what you are thinking now; as our attitudes and thoughts quite definitely can affect our health.

Spirituality:  You may be considering leaving a religion/spiritual tradition which has been part of your life for some time. You are likely to have a desire to try out lots of different approaches to spirituality to see how they “fit.” Nothing wrong with this exploration, however don’t get too carried away in any one thing while you are just shopping. This card can indicate a powerful need to get deeper knowledge about spirituality, and your friends and family may not understand where this is coming from. Regardless, you have to do what is best for you, no matter what they think. Bear in mind that exploration is not the same as commitment.
