The Fool advises...
- Nurture a beginner's state of mind. Try to let go of assumptions. Be curious and open-minded. Rather than trying to control the future, focus on the present. Let your instincts guide you.
- Try something new. Say "Yes!" to a spontaneous adventure. Create more space for possibility in your life!
- Have some fun. Forget about your worries for a while.
- Take a playful approach to the situation. Fooling around may lead to a creative solution.
- Be sure you are not behaving dangerously or risking something you can't afford to lose.
- Beware of being gullible. Someone may be trying to take advantage of your trusting nature.
- Beware of always seeking the next new thing instead of following through with existing projects or relationships.
