In your reading

Here we see the Fool. He's standing on top of a mountain. Even though he is in a dangerous position he doesn't seem to notice it. He's just too excited to see where he is. All he wants is to leave and start this new cycle in his life. What will it bring? What will he experience? He can't wait to see it all. He doesn't feel any fear but sees his future very bright.

If you are at the start of a new cycle, look at what is before you but do not forget to look behind you. Because you haven't been planted here with a bolt of lightning. You came to this point in your life because you created it. If you don't like where you are now, then create a place where you do want to be. You bring your inheritance and experiences in that little knapsack that you hold over your shoulder. It is there to remember your past but do not make it a heavy load. If the past was difficult then train yourself to have a more positive outlook on the future. It is all up to you how the future will be.

Embrace the energy of this character and step out into the world to be IN it instead of looking at it from the outside in. Experience it first hand, enjoy it. Be here and now exactly like this figure. Don't worry about tomorrow nor yesterday, for the past is over and the future is not yet here.

Be like a child and investigate with a feeling of miracle. Don't try to understand everything but just breath it in like children often do. That little child in your easily gets sucked up by all the rules around us and expectations we put upon ourselves or are put upon us. Be real. Be authentic. Fear often gives bad advice because it makes us forget who we really are.

Don't forget that you start a new cycle every day and that you can be the Fool every moment of your life. Even if your life is a bore you can still chose to look at it through the eyes of the Fool: with wonder and excitement. First you have to forget about all the rules before you can be true to yourself. Have faith in where you are now and in what the future will bring. Let the journey begin!
