The fool is probably the most well known tarot card. Even people who have never learned anything about tarot cards may be familiar with the above image. The meaning of the card seems self explanatory; it shows a young man carelessly walking forward in the sun with arms open towards the edge of a cliff. With the title, "the fool", we may be quick to assume there is a negative meaning behind the card, but this is not necessarily true. The man is walking forward in full trust that he will not fall off the edge. He represents the need to be brave and embark on a new journey and have faith that you will succeed. On the flip side, this card can also represent someone who is overly naïve if it is seen in reverse (upside down).
