The Fool is card 0, the first of the 22 Major Arcana. In the classic deck, a traveler with a small bag and a white dog steps toward the edge of a cliff, looking up at the sky.
What it means
- Upright: new beginnings, trust, a leap of faith, beginner’s mind.
- Reversed: rushing in without looking, or being too scared to start.
Why zero? The Fool is the traveler who walks through every other Major Arcana card. Readers call this the Fool’s Journey, and you’re on it too.
