Card of the Month
The Fool is the first card of the Major Arcana sequence - quite literally a jumping-off point.
The Major Arcana itself is sometimes referred to as The Fool’s Journey by tarot experts, so you can think of the card, in a way, as the main character of the tarot - a kind of Alice and Wonderland figure who steps off a cliff and into the fantastical world of the tarot.
By name, the Fool suggests potentially questionable choices, but the optimism of the image elevates, rather than denigrates the Fool figure. Yes, there’s naivety here, but there’s also a powerful confidence and openness to the universe that many people lose as they grow up. And indeed, the tarot is a story of growing up - of traveling from the innocent optimism of the Fool to the transcendent wisdom of the World. To get from zero to twenty-two, we have to confront life’s big themes Love, Death, Vice, among many others. But we only get to go on the extraordinary journey the tarot has to offer if we’re willing to take that first blind step.
Faith may feel foolish, but it’s the only way anything ever moves forward.
This June, encourage yourself to take a leap of faith. Begin a new story, and have the adventure you deserve.

A Fool-inspired Tarot Spread for June
To use this spread, shuffle your deck until it feels right to stop. Then, spread the cards out in front of you, face down, and choose four that call to you. Lay them out face up in response to the following prompts:
How can I take a leap of faith this month?
How can I embolden myself to take that leap?
What small thing can I do now to help me survive the fall?
What might I find in the new horizons I leap into?
All my love for June… and keep your eyes on your inbox next week for your Gemini season toolkit and a new edition of my Creative Arcana interview series.
