A pelican is perched upon an ocean post, illuminated by a waning crescent moon. He piercingly regards a sodden lone wolf, cast among the waves, paddling through unfamiliar territory. Hoping for an easy dinner, he has foolishly swum out beyond the cautious trappings of his solid world. Gazing up at the stoic pelican, the wolf realizes he has departed on a journey that could easily result in his own demise.

upright meaning:
new beginning • spontaneity • leap of faith
The Fool represents a new beginning, striking out naively on a bold new adventure. You may be filled with unlimited optimism, a feeling in your heart that you cannot fail. This may prove misguided, and in due time you might find your idealism tempered by painful experience. So approach with caution: decide whether taking this risk is worth making yourself vulnerable in an unfamiliar setting. If the answer is yes, show no fear: only those who choose to journey will ever discover new horizons.

reversed meaning:
naivety • poor judgement • difficult beginning
When reversed, you may be experiencing a failure to launch, feeling trapped in a situation when all you want is a fresh start. Perhaps you are seeking to end something in its nascent stages, before things get too substantial or established. No matter what: introspect. Consider your motivations. What’s holding you back from fully joining the journey laid before you?
