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 is the part of you willing to step off into something before you can see where your foot will land. He is pure beginning, the openness that comes before experience has had a chance to make you careful. He trusts that the ground will be there.
