Perfect bliss, Harmony and Balance. The Fool also expresses the idea complete confidence: knowing ones Will. This card also represents the taking of calculated risks, and that it is better to suffer the consequences of ones action, than to not take action at all.

So many different interpretations. Why do you think?

The Holy Ghost. The Fool, along with the Hanged Man, and the Aeon, is one of three unique Cards among the Major Arcana. Nineteen of the Cards have astrological attributions. These three are attributed to the three volatile elements of alchemy: Fire (The Aeon), Water (The Hanged Man), and Air (The Fool). The Fool is, therefore, Pneuma. His is, in a sense, the Divine Mind. The Airy part of the Ruach. Hence, the association with the Holy Ghost. The Pentecostal Dove descends from the Grail he holds in his right hand. The Aeon, would symbolize the All Father, and the Hanged Man would symbolize the Son. (Christ). Also, the tri-partite structure of the Divine Individuality is implicit here. The Mind (Fool), the Soul (Hanged Man), and the Spirit (Aeon). The color coded Rosy Cross symbol on the backs of the cards shows the Formula Of Interaction of the three volatilia. Goethe's Color Wheel is hidden within the color coding, as is the Unicursal Hexagram. The left arm of the Cross is red and is associated, on one level, with the Aeon, on yet another level, with Binah on the Tree Of Life. The right arm of the cross is blue and is associa- ted with the Hanged Man, or with Chokmah. The upper arm of the Cross is yellow and is associated with the Fool, and with Kether. Together, these three elements, their color correspondences, and their Tarot attributions, contain an alchemical key that unlocks all of the color correspondences in the Deck. What do you get when you mix Fire and Water? Steam. The Fool, then, is the archetype of all manifestation. He is the result of the 0=2 Formula. Duality comes from Nothingness. Hence, life begins.
