AdviceTake the first step, even without seeing the whole road.
What it means
The Fool is the beginning of every journey. A young man walks towards the edge of a cliff looking up at the sky, with a light bundle over his shoulder and a dog warning him. The card speaks of starting without having all the answers, of trusting the road and letting go of what weighs you down. It asks for spontaneity and openness, but also reminds you that lightness needs a minimum of attention to the ground beneath your feet.
In love
A new relationship, light and full of discovery, or the wish to live love with fewer rules. It asks you to give yourself without demanding guarantees.
At work and with money
A new project, a change of field or a leap into working for yourself. There is enthusiasm; it helps to add a bit of planning.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
