The Fool Month

Air

This month your card is the Fool, and the door's propped open. It's a good stretch for the first move, the unmapped try, the yes you say before it's all worked out. Let yourself take it. The only thing to watch is the version where you keep starting and never stay, where the openness becomes a way of dodging anything that would hold you to it. You don't have to finish this month. You just don't have to flee it either. Begin lightly, and mean it.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Fool, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Fool card in Tarot represents new beginnings, faith, and the courage to start something before you know how it will turn out. A young man stands at the edge of a cliff with a small bundle over his shoulder, a white rose in his hand, and a little dog at his heels. He's looking up at the sky, about to step off. This card is about being willing to begin.
