24. Not "The Fool".

Sat Jan 26, 2019, 04:11 PM

Jan 2019

In tarot mythology (if I recall from over 40 years ago), The Fool is actually a very powerful card. The Fool is a truth-teller who inevitably gets screwed because s/he ignores politics or political power plays because speaking the truth is more important than self-protection. The typical advice given someone whose reading is heavily influenced by The Fool is to proceed cautiously and be aware of dangerous forces in one's surroundings. When The Fool reveals a hurtful truth, usually in undiplomatic terms, others indeed get hurt, and tend to restrict in many ways The Fool's influence. Sometimes it can get very personal and damaging. If this general interpretation is still valid today, it wouldn't be appropriately attributed to anything connected with Trumpy.
