The Fool is the card of new beginnings, amazing opportunities, and unlimited potential. Labeled card number “0,” The Fool is traditionally the first and the last card in the Tarot. The Fool is there as the bridge between each cycle of endings and beginnings. As a result, the Tarot is called “The Fool’s Journey,” as a metaphor for the cycles of love and life.
The Fool is young and full of wonder, innocence, optimism, and freedom. He overlooks a cliff, but is too inexperienced to be afraid. Like the white rose he holds in his hand, he is pure. With his companion by his side, and the sun shining on his back, he is ready to love freely and dive into life headfirst.
If you are asking about timing and you pull the Fool, it means that the event will occur when you are ready to step into the unknown and trust the process.
The Fool can indicate a “go with the flow” approach, where you should be open to unexpected developments and opportunities that arise without forcing specific timelines.
Timing is fluid here—it could happen as soon as you’re willing to take a risk or when you’re least expecting it.
In terms of timing, it could also suggest the event may align with the start of something, like a new project, a journey, or even the beginning of a zodiac cycle.
Astrologically, the Fool as timing is associated with Aquarius season (January 20-February 18).

If you are asking about timing and you pull the Fool reversed, it means that delays are likely, and something is holding you back from moving forward.
In this position, the Fool’s energy is blocked, often by fear of the unknown or a reluctance to take that first step. There may be unresolved issues or hesitations that need to be addressed before the event can unfold.
The reversed Fool signals that before anything can progress, it’s important to look at what’s keeping you from taking that leap—whether it’s self-doubt, external circumstances, or a fear of failure.
Timing will be delayed until you are able to release these limitations and embrace the necessary changes. This card asks you to reflect on what’s making you resist the flow of life and to work through that resistance before moving forward.

Timing in tarot can be a bit tricky, but with practice, it becomes easier to trust the flow of the cards. I recommend using a narrative approach, letting the story of the spread guide you, rather than relying strictly on rigid definitions. Ultimately, trust your own intuition—it will lead you to the answers you’re meant to find.
