The Fool’s Journey: Weaving Tarot, Astrology, and Runes into the Path of New Beginnings

The Fool 0 is a card of something new, as in a new idea or the desire to travel and explore. The number 0 assigned to the Fool indicates that this new vision or journey may or may not happen. 

🜁 Air is the elemental influence for this card…this is how the idea or vision is created and generates a plan. If a new journey is taken, based on good or bad intentions, most likely there will be variables along the way that will impact or influence the outcome. 

*Note: I use the word “journey” for any new beginning.

The following runes are interpreted as if the journey or undertaking will happen. 

ᛟ Othala -  ᚠ Fehu - ᛚ Lagaz - ᛏ Tiwaz

Ancestry and upbringing can spark an idea or vision for something new, or one may seek to continue what was started by someone else in their lineage. 

**Note: Rune spelling varies…I used the spelling I see most often.

Othala represents one’s heritage or ancestry; this is often the major influencing factor in pursuing a desire. Maybe to start something new or continue a tradition. 

Fehu indicates resources available that may or may not be helpful in creating a plan. 

Lagaz highlights the desire and potential to make something happen, while Tiwaz signifies determination. 

Here is the interpretation of relevant runes that can influence a journey underway.

ᚺ Hagalaz - Delays, challenges, and obstacles

ᛗ Mannaz - Relationships with others involved in the journey

ᛉ Algiz - Divine protection

ᛃ Jera - Ebb and flow of growth and abundance

ᚢ Uruz - Endurance and willpower to move forward

ᚷ Gebo - A positive rune described as a “gift” that will align with your vision

ᛇ Ethwaz and ᚨ Ansuz indicate a positive outcome. The desire for transformation has been achieved, or the journey was successful, and the vision was fulfilled
