Fool as Love Outcome (Upright & Reversed) Tarot Card Meaning

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.

Upright Fool as Love Outcome

If you are asking about what is the outcome of a relationship, and you draw the Fool, that means that there is potential for a positive new beginning. Your person sees so much potential in what you could have together. They could still be seeing things through rose-colored glasses. You might find them to be a bit whimsical and full of wonder. They’re madly in love with you. In traditional Tarot decks, the Fool card features a white dog which symbolizes pure intentions and loyalty. No matter your age, this relationship will feel like young love. You make each other feel youthful and energized. 

The Fool as love outcome is a sign of the start of something new. It means that this person is willing to throw caution to the wind and take a leap of faith into the unknown with you. They’ve spent time thinking about whether or not the two of you would be able to work out. They’ve thought about the pros and the cons, and they’re ready to say, “Let’s just give it a try and see what happens.” They see that the two of you could turn the page on your relationship and start over with a clean slate. They know that there is room for the two of you to go much deeper. 

If you are wondering about a potential relationship, the Fool as love outcome means an amazing new beginning awaits. This card advises being open to a new beginning. Set your baggage, prejudices, and negative experiences aside. Approach this relationship with positivity and optimism. Adopt the innocence of the Fool and hope for the best. Although not traditionally considered a card of healing, it can indicate restoring your faith in love. Remember, you can inadvertently manifest negative experiences through negative-thinking. You will need to be healed to experience the best potential this relationship has to offer.

If you are in a new relationship, the Fool as love outcome means excitement, newness, and a sense of adventure. This will be a type of relationship that you’ve never had before. Your person could be someone who is not your usual “type”, or there’s something different about them. Astrologically associated with the planet Uranus, this card indicates an element of surprise. One of you could be more experienced than the other, or both of you are inexperienced. Both of you are looking forward to the future optimistically. Neither of you are approaching this relationship from a “jaded” place. You bring out the best in each other. Even if one or both of you have been hurt in the past, there is excitement about “starting anew”. Both of you want to give love another chance. In addition to being romantic partners, you also see each other as best friends.

If you are in an existing relationship, the Fool as love outcome means a light-hearted, happy-go-lucky kind of relationship. There could be something unconventional about this relationship. Perhaps you don’t believe in traditional relationship arrangements or you want to try something different. You enjoy each other’s company and have a lot of fun together. One or both of you are just going with the flow and seeing where this goes. However, you both believe in this relationship’s potential and can see a bright future ahead. You’re still getting to know each other before weighing the pros and cons of a higher level of commitment.

If you are currently in separation with each other, the Fool as love outcome means your person wants a new beginning with you. Whether you want reconciliation or you’re trying to work on a long-distance relationship, this is a great sign. The Fool card represents new beginnings after endings. Your person is positive, hopeful, and optimistic. It also represents journeys and taking leaps of faith. If you’re separated by geographic distance, your person is still hopeful this can work out. They could travel to see you or invite you over to their location. Both of you could make an effort to keep online communications consistent.

Fool Reversed as Love Outcome

If you are asking about what is the outcome of a relationship, and you draw the Fool reversed, that means that a new beginning is being blocked. Your person feels wary or fearful, likely because of a past trauma. They would rather not make the first move out of fear of the unknown, rejection, or humiliation. You can help your person feel more confident and secure by showing interest. Don’t be afraid to make the first move. However, make sure that they take that invitation and eventually put in the same amount of effort.

The Fool reversed as love outcome is a sign of starting off on the wrong foot. If you feel this is the case, clarifying any misunderstandings might be helpful. You or your person could have your guard up due to negative past experiences. Having your guard up blocks positive energy into the relationship. You could feel as though your relationship is stalled, lacks progress, or chemistry. This card invites you to be more carefree and spontaneous.

If you are wondering about a potential relationship, the Fool reversed as love outcome means you or your partner will need to learn to be yourselves. The Fool reversed represents missed out potential and purity. One of you is not being their true authentic self and that will become an issue in the long run. This fear of being unaccepted could stem from childhood. Know that being yourself is the best way to approach relationships. We want somebody who will accept us for who we are. It also filters out those who would limit our potential in the long run.

If you are in a new relationship, the Fool reversed as love outcome means the relationship might feel like it never truly takes off. You could have your guard up often, and you never get to know the other person. The relationship may not progress as rapidly as you would like. You wonder why they haven’t introduced you to their friends and family. One of you might want an unconventional arrangement while the other wants something traditional. If this is a concern, the best thing you can do is have an open and frank conversation. Emulate the Fool’s fearlessness and ask questions, even if you may not like the answer.

If you are in an existing relationship, the Fool reversed as love outcome means you feel stuck in a loop. You could feel like the relationship isn’t progressing the way you’d want. At first both of you saw potential in this relationship. Maybe you’ve realized you’re not right for each other, and that’s okay. Be honest with yourself about what you want. Alternatively, if you’re in a long-term relationship, you could feel the relationship has grown stale. The fun and spontaneity is lost. If you still care for each other, this can be repaired with some effort.

If you are currently in separation with each other, the Fool as love outcome means your person isn’t too optimistic about making the relationship work. If you’re in separation because of conflict, they feel the relationship no longer has potential. If you’re in a long-distance relationship, this could indicate an unwillingness from both to relocate. This card’s association with the planet Uranus might indicate that online communications isn’t cutting it for this relationship. In the reverse, innocence and carefreeness is lost. You could be suspicious of each other’s commitment to each other. If this relationship isn’t right for you, the Fool in reverse invites you to start and try again elsewhere.

Conclusion

For love readings, the Fool is full of duality. Just as the Fool, as the 0th card, is the start and end of the Tarot (often aptly titled as the Journey of the Fool), the Fool is also at the beginning and end of any relationship. The Fool can be a new beginning for a reconciliation reading. If you are willing to start again at the beginning, you will need to see where it goes, and if the relationship will develop into something deep and meaningful. If you are nearing the end of the cycle, you may need to decide if you’ve learned its lessons and are ready to close out this circle gracefully.
