Two conflicting colors: orange and aqua‑green. These colors represent the challenges we experience when dealing with information. There’s a conflict between our human perception (orange circle) and the vastness of all potential perceptions and experiences (aqua‑green).

Knowledge itself must be neutral, since it is, at its core, non‑personal. Yet we perceive it as personal whether we like it or not. Lilac is the color of the blade. Interpretations vary, but let’s stay with the one drawn out by the artist: lilac may seem neutral and wise, yet it cannot avoid carrying a hint of illusion.

The blade points at one yellow dot. The dot is separated from the consciousness. What could it be? Yellow, according to some interpreters, signifies the human mind. Is there a separation of two kinds of consciousness? Possibly. Or the meaning may be simple: the information received concerns a particular subject. Something is being pinpointed.

Next symbol: at the heart of the blade, there’s a snake with two heads and a sun at zenith. The light from the sun points upward — perhaps another reference to a specific subject or insight.

Since the two‑headed snake sits at the handle of the sword, it may refer to the way the perceiver handles the information they receive. There may be confusion or a risk of misinterpretation. Still, the images are soft and playful, as if to remind the interpreter not to take things too seriously.

And those wiggles at the bottom of the handle? A sleeping snake and a nest full of eggs. The snake is asleep and uninterested in eating the eggs — just as our anxieties and wants may sometimes sleep and allow us to perceive information clearly and precisely.

Let’s take a break for now. There will be more to come.

• Take a deep breath and focus on the essence of your question.

• Notice which element of the card draws your attention first.

• Notice which element draws your attention second.

• Close your eyes and observe how your mind processes information.

• Write down the ideas that arise, but this time interpret them through the lens of your question.

• Ideally, the image should awaken the answers you seek. If it doesn’t, you may try again or choose another divination or reasoning method.

An excellent opportunity to understand the core of an issue

We all possess the answers we seek — even if we’re tired of hearing that phrase, it remains true. Those answers may be tiny flickers in the dark or bright as the sun. Sometimes, to understand the nudges and clues of our subconscious mind, intuition, the Universe, god, or the spirit world (whatever you prefer), we need a tool. Tarot — in this case, Tarot of the Fool by Astore Faber — can become that tool. It can help us awaken, clarify, or interpret those answers.

Still, tarot is just a tool — a way of playing with symbols and letting the mind speak in its own language. It’s not meant to replace professional guidance, medical or otherwise. If something in your life needs real‑world attention, please turn to someone qualified to help. The cards can offer insight, but the choices — and the responsibility — remain yours.
