Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: African American Tarot by Jamal R, artwork by Thomas Davis, published by Lo Scarabeo.

Card: The Fool – Soul

This week, there is likely to be energy that encourages trusting instincts and exploring ideas that are initially sparked by curiosity. There is also the potential for major pushback on preconceived ideas that have their roots in compliance and maintaining a status quo that serves only a privileged few. Additionally, a desire for something new and better, even if it seems impossible to obtain, could be a driving force for change.

Conversely, while taking a more simplistic approach backed by child-like wonder can seem like a renewal, it is unlikely to produce the desired results and be received as irresponsible. Decisions and plans with too great a risk and that place the well-being of others in jeopardy will undoubtedly be perceived as reckless, will be unsupported, and very likely strenuously opposed.
