Tarot cards have long been used to tell people’s future and they are in some respect the most well-known divination tool. Tarot cards and also many other types of cards like oracle cards assist us in opening ourselves to the unknown, or psychic / spiritual side. Today’s decks are spilt into Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, and the main influence in the 20thcentury would be Arthur Waite, this was to be the first publicly to be accepted as the standard. There are so many myths associated with the Tarot that it is hard to tell fact from fiction but to truly understand the Tarot you need to understand your connection to the Divine.
We will be using the 22 Major Arcana for the journey through the tarot so if you have a deck or if you just want to use these here, please join me.

The Fool – He is beginning of the Tarot deck, he is who starts the ball rolling, and he signifies change as he is un-moulded potential that is pure and innocent as he is neither good or bad, positive or negative as there is the possibility of both with this card. He is the first step into the unknown; he is letting you know that you have the chance to take a new direction and to make sure that what you are taking with you works for you and you only. When the Fool appears in a reading he is signalling that change is here, what we do with it is now totally up to us. He also asks us to look at what and who we have in our life, is it still working for us or can we let it go, as we want to only take with us what is right for us on this new journey.
So you are the fool and you are standing on the crossroads to the unknown, which path will you choose? where will it take you? this is the exciting part, this is where we can often sit for too long waiting for some sign or someone to tell us which way to go, that we can forget to listen to our “Heart Voice”, this is our ultimate guide as this is your soul. I want you to look at this card and feel the energy of the Fool, the energy of the unknown, the excitement of it all of it, acknowledge the newness of your path, the newness of your next steps and as this month of March unfolds see what usual, unexpected and totally wonderful things come into your life.
Blessings Helen xoxo
