To understand Goddess Tarot, start here: [What is Vidawheel Goddess Tarot?] 
In the beginning, the world was asleep. Time had not yet woven its web. From chaos, light and love condensed into a young girl holding a dream bag.
Her eyes were as clear as the morning star. She is The Fool—a state of soul not yet defined, but already summoned.
The Fool meaning is not about ignorance. It is about the soul's willingness to respond to life with a "newborn state."
In a woman’s life journey, this Tarot card symbolizes: Rebooting, Intuition, Courage, Innocence, De-conditioning, and Starting a New Cycle.

When you draw The Fool, life is knocking at your door. It asks you to step out, imperfect but willing. In the distance, a Tarot Goddess awaits. Take the first step, and she will appear. 

II. Deep Dive into Tarot Card Meanings: The Fool Meaning

In the Rider-Waite Tarot, The Fool symbolizes Absolute Openness. The light pack, the white rose, and the cliff edge all reveal a pure consciousness undefined by the world.

Rachel Pollack, in 78 Degrees of Wisdom, calls The Fool "Zero"—the silence before potential activates. In Jungian psychology, this is the raw Self before it takes on a persona. It is not reckless; it is the soul actively returning to zero to begin a new cycle. The step toward the cliff is the soul’s first "Yes" to the journey.

Tarot de Marseille Perspective: Consciousness in Migration

In the Tarot de Marseille, Le Mat (The Fool) has no number. It belongs to no sequence. It is a Threshold Archetype: one foot in the old world, one in the unnamed reality. The animal biting at the figure represents the subconscious drive demanding change.

From a Jungian view, this is the "Liminality" phase—the space between an old identity dissolving and a new one forming. It reminds us: before the soul moves to a new stage, it must return to chaos and purity.

Goddess Tarot Perspective: The Awakening of the Female Soul

In the VidaWheel Goddess Tarot system, The Fool is reimagined as a young girl with a dream bag. Born before the world was woven, she embodies light, love, and undefined freedom.
She carries the wisdom from her past cycle but chooses to enter the new journey with innocence and Divine Feminine energy. This mirrors a woman’s awakening: "I do not yet know what I will become, but I am open to life."
The Fool Meaning in this deck:
  • Newborn Intuition
  • Renewal of Life Cycles
  • Soul Rising from the Subconscious
  • A Woman’s First Breath of Decision

It is not just about risk; it is about allowing yourself to start again, authentically.

III. The Goddess Myth & 21st Century Female Power

In Goddess Tarot, The Fool is the protagonist. She is the soul-maiden born at the center of the Goddess Round Table. She lives in every woman as the pure, unshaped Self.

She embarks on an epic journey: accepting gifts, traversing trauma, and experiencing Spiritual Alchemy. By crossing these three realms, she will ignite the seven Goddess Archetypes—from the Artemis Goddess to the Aphrodite Goddess—and become a whole woman.

Modern Manifestation: Today, The Fool energy wakes up when a woman leaves a draining relationship, quits a suffocating job, or moves to a new city. It is the moment she drops the "Good Daughter" script and says, "I want to try."
This is the birth of female sovereignty. She is fearless not because she sees the future, but because she walks for herself.
