In the Fool Tarot card, a young man stands on the edge of a cliff, without any thought of what might happen when he embarks to embark on a new adventure. He's gazing up towards the sky (and at the Universe) and seems unaware that he is about to skip off the edge of the unknown. The shoulder of his back rests the knapsack, which is small and contains all that he requires (which isn't much) (let's say that he's minimalist). The white rose that is in the left hand symbolizes his purity and innocence. And at his feet is a tiny white dog that symbolizes the protection and loyalty that inspires him to continue his journey and learn the lessons he had to discover. The mountains that surround the Fool symbolise the challenges yet to come. They're always present however the Fool doesn't care about them now; he's more focused on starting his expedition.
The Fool represents a symbol of fresh beginnings, chance and possibilities. Much like the young man, you are in the beginning of your journey, at the edge of the cliff, about to take your very first steps into the world of unknown.

He embarks to explore the world with only his basic possessions - and now he invites you to follow in his footsteps.
