Just as the other cards, the fool's vibration is unique. Every element is represented, the earth beneath his feet, the firey sun in the sky, the crystal blue, snow-capped mountains on his right, and the wind blows his cloak. Spirit is represented by the dog bounding at the fool's side. The edge of the cliff is near, but there is no danger in sight. The fool has his eyes to the heavens and has left all worldly concern behind.
When I look at the fool, I can't help but be reminded of all of the characters in books and movies that have this vibration. I am drawn to these figures because what the Fool is resonates within all of us, and individuals who manifest the fool always represent purity of soul and newness. As I look at the Fool, I immediately hear the chorus "What's this; What's this?" from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack sings it when he is discovering Christmas. He is enthralled with the newness that surrounds him, and, in his innocence, he creates chaos because he is concerned with the ideas in his head as opposed to the physicallity of his actions.
When the fool appears in a reading, the reader needs to be aware that he represents a person who is innocent but pure, yet whose actions may manifest chaos unless they get their head out of the clouds.
