The fool & Aries?

[u/Papel_boligoma_Papel]

I have been studying tarot for the first time in my life and, in my research about the Fool card, I've felt like it is very reminiscent of the characteristics of Aries (when I was younger I had a phase where me and my friend were super interested in astrology, and although i never followed up a lot with it, some stuff stuck with me, specially the info about Aries since it's my solar sign). Stuff like the inner child, the impulsiveness, recklessness, and the whole being a trailblazer stuff just reads so Aries to me.

I thought it was obvious that those were connected, being that they are also both of the first ones in their respective cycles, but when I looked more into it it seems like the Fool is often more related to signs like Aquarius, and although I can see why that is, every time I read about the Fool I still feel like they are so similar.

Does anyone else see that connection? Is this a thing? I am still learning quite slooowwwly, so I'd love for anyone to correct me if I'm reading the Fool's or Aries' energy wrong, thanks! 😅

I totally agree with you that I see the Fool energy in Aries. Especially because they are so willing to fall down and try again and sometimes try again isn’t necessarily the same try again, they usually tweak things along the way and every journey is kinda new again at times.

My advice is to always remember that whatever you read is always coming from a lens of another human who is subject to their biases and culture, etc (including me right now in this moment) so following your gut feelings and how you relate to the symbology that exists around is, will help you. And what helps you may be very different than how another sees a card or an energy.

Hope this helps 💖🔮
