THE SIMPLETON KEY FACTS
Prior to delving deeper into the upright- and reversed Simpleton tarot card significance, and its correlation to love, work, and life, here is a quick overview of some facts and the most important words linked to the Simpleton tarot card.
THE SIMPLETON TAROT CARD DESCRIPTION
To wholly comprehend the Simpleton tarot card significance, we will initially examine the depiction, its hues, and symbolism.
The Simpleton tarot card portrays an uncorrupted spirit, strolling blissfully and exhilaratedly into the universe. They are gazing skyward and appear to be oblivious to the fact that they are about to tumble over the precipice into the unfamiliar.
They bear nothing with them except a bindle, which harbors all their worldly possessions.
The ivory rose in their left hand signifies, as ivory would imply, innocence and emancipation. The explosive decal on their apparel symbolizes potentiality.
At the feet of the simpleton is a minuscule ivory dog. It represents allegiance and safeguarding, which emboldens the simpleton to energetically proceed and assimilate the teachings they arrived to learn.
The mountains in the backdrop represent the protracted voyage and the obstacles yet to be encountered.
THE SIMPLETON TAROT CARD MEANING
The Simpleton tarot card is the numeral 0 of the Major Arcana, which stands for the number of boundless potentials. Therefore, it lacks a precise position in the progression of the tarot cards. Its placement is either at the commencement or the conclusion of a progression.
The Major Arcana is frequently regarded as the Fool’s expedition through life. Consequently, they are ever-present and, thus, require no numeral.

THE FOOL UPSIDE DOWN MEANING IN TAROT CARD READING
If you’re a tarot beginner, you might be wondering what on earth a “reversed tarot card” means. Well, it’s simply a card that appears to be inverted from your point of view, just like the image below of the Fool tarot card.
In this paragraph, we will discuss a bit more about what it signifies if you’ve drawn the Fool in the reversed position.
In relation to its upright explanation, where the Fool embodies the boundless potential for a new journey in one’s life, the Fool reversed would be the boundless potential for absolutely nothing of worth to come into existence.
The Fool reversed represents careless behavior when pursuing a new venture. It indicates that you initiate a lot but don’t conclude anything and that you are literally behaving like a fool by disregarding the consequences of your actions.
You may justify this as a journey to “discover yourself.” However, you may be deeply disappointed in where you ultimately find yourself if you fail to stop behaving foolishly.
“All development is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.” — Henry Miller
This card is here to caution you that now is not the time for impulsiveness and liberation. You must complete what you have commenced and deal with your obligations before you can safely progress.
Make sure that you don’t lose yourself in your own thoughts and not actively ‘doing’. We all have ideas, but it is only through action that these ideas materialize and have value.
THE FOOL TAROT PROFESSIONAL MEANING
With the Fool tarot card in your profession and work, it is time to go for that new job or begin your own business that you’ve been dreaming of. The possibilities are truly boundless with this card.
For some, this means relocating to a new state or country, especially if paired with the World tarot card.
For ongoing initiatives, it signifies that you are enticing pioneering concepts and being ignited with fresh vitality.
Chasing an unrealistic aspiration might be frowned upon, but not when the Fool tarot card is in control of a reading. Pursuing your desires, even in a spontaneous manner, can lead to financial prosperity.
- Go for that new position/advancement/project
- Begin your ideal business
- Be receptive to innovative ideas
- Don’t let fear hinder you and follow your instincts
THE FOOL TAROT LOVE SIGNIFICANCE
Merge the fool tarot card with love, and you are about to embark on a new romantic expedition.
If you are already in a relationship, this may be a fresh chapter like an engagement, a wedding, or even a baby.
If you are single and searching for a partner, the Fool in a Love reading indicates that you will be able to effortlessly and carefreely manifest a new romantic relationship.
The lesson to be derived from this is to be welcoming and open to new and unexpected individuals in your life.
When drawing the fool in a relationship with love, it is an opportune time to put yourself out there and take new risks with potential partners whom you may not otherwise consider dating.
This card encourages you to have faith in the unknown and embrace a more positive and optimistic perspective, celebrating and reclaiming your inner child.
The Fool is present to demonstrate that you can never truly predict what lies ahead, and you can only greet it with happiness.
- Be open to fresh faces in your life and go on a date
- Confide in the unfamiliar
- Prepare yourself to elevate your relationship to the next stage
- Celebrate and reclaim the innocence within you
THE FOOL TAROT HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE
The Fool epitomizes a card of vibrant energy. If you have been unwell or struggling with your emotional/mental well-being, the Fool can symbolize a renewed lease on life and a sense of uninhibited freedom.
Every circumstance is distinct, but remaining true to yourself and prioritizing your own needs will contribute to improvement in every aspect of your life.
- Remain genuine to yourself
- Prioritize self-care
THE FOOL IN A YES OR NO QUESTION
When the Fool card is drawn, it signifies that important decisions and changes will soon be on the horizon. In response to a Yes or No Tarot Question in a one-card spread, selecting the fool should result in a resounding “YES.” Let go of worry and doubt; things will work out in your favor.
THE FOOL TAROT CARD AND NUMEROLOGY
The Fool holds the numerical value of zero. Zero is circular and represents completeness and cycles. However, it also denotes emptiness, openness, and nothingness.
Zero signifies the beginning. It represents purity and innocence. It is defined by absence.
You can easily become engrossed in contemplating the concept of zero, and this can serve as a delightful entryway into the realm of Numerology. You may even envision yourself as the Fool while meditating on the expansive void of the journey that is zero.
THE JESTER TAROT CARD AND ASTROLOGY
The Jester is about lighthearted energy, naivety, and following your own rhythm. The portrayals of the Jester are often unrestricted and ethereal.
Right away, it makes me think of the Air Indications: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Of the Air Indications, Aquarius is the ideal fit. Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, embodies autonomy and liberation— the ultimate catalyst for breakthroughs and starting anew.
THE JESTER TAROT CARD COMBINATIONS
When you draw the Jester tarot card, it always has a powerful influence on the entire reading. If the Jester is drawn with other Major Arcana cards, together they will govern the message.
The card combinations below are some of the most revealing of all potential pairings.
THE JESTER AND DEATH
Though the Jester is one of the most beloved cards in a tarot deck, the same can’t be said for Demise.
The Jester & Death card combination These two cards are like night and day but convey a strong message when pulled together: things are concluding and a new beginning is on the horizon.
As simplistic as this may seem, we as individuals have difficulty with transformation. The Jester accompanies death as a reminder that the only constant in life is change and embracing it is essential.
THE JESTER AND THE DEVIL
Similar to the pairing above, the Jester tarot card and the Fiend also have a positive theme when drawn in the same reading.
The Jester & Fiend card combination If you have personally drawn these cards, you’ve probably experienced a lack of faith in at least one situation or area of your life recently.
This is normal, but you don’t have to dwell in this negative energy. Look around. Are there ways that you could initiate a fresh start? Now is the time to take a daring risk and get enthusiastic about new beginnings.
THE JESTER AND THE SUSPENDED MAN OR THE CELEBRITY
If you’ve drawn these three cards together or the Jester tarot card with either the Suspended Man or the Celebrity, this is a promising sign.
The Combination of The Fool and The Hanged Man with The Star Card
Now is the moment to release any concerns that trouble you and simply trust that your celestial bodies will soon align.
It is effortless to succumb to fear, but doing so will hinder you from experiencing a luminous and optimistic future.
Embrace “unquestioning faith” and the ability to defy expectations, even when it appears that you are on the verge of sinking.
