The layout is suitable for clarifying any troubling issue. Most fortune tellers turn to this alignment when they need to decide how to behave in a certain situation. What each card means: 1. Question. 2. Internal influences that you are unable to see. 3. External influences that you are aware of. 4. What is needed for a solution. 5. Solution.
This alignment will allow you to look at how you communicate with other people - with your spouse, colleague, girlfriend, relative or parents. There are four cards involved in the layout, their meaning: 1st - you and what you are putting into communication right now; 2nd - another person and his contribution to the relationship; 3rd - combination of your energies; 4th - general description relationships.
This layout is intended for a couple who would like to resolve misunderstandings, understand the essence of their relationship, give new strength relationships. Topics for consideration: 1) Unconscious influence that aggravates the relationship (3 cards), 2) Conscious influence that aggravates the relationship (3 cards) 3) A unifying link that gives life to relationships (3 cards) 4) Blessing.
This layout is used to understand your relationship with another person (lover, friend, relative). It shows each person in his current life, as well as the interplay of energies of these relationships and connections. The left (1, 2, 3) and bottom (7, 8, 9) parts reveal you, the right (4, 5, 6) and top (10, 11, 12) talk about the second person.
A paradox is always a half-truth and this, as Oscar Wilde said, “is the best we can achieve, because absolute truths do not exist.” Concentrate your thoughts within yourself for a few minutes. When performing the layout, the deck is divided into three parts, you choose one of them. The top card from the selected pile represents 1. Here and Now. The bottom card represents 2. Past life influences. Third card - 3. Paradox (unexpected conclusion).
The cards are laid out in the form of a bird in flight. The left wing cards of the bird tell something about our feminine receptive energy in the moment, while the right wing symbolizes our masculine active energy. The first card chosen begins the flight, and therefore belongs to the male wing. Each subsequent card is a response to the previous one, helping the bird to rise higher, and the fortuneteller to bring clarity to inner world.
The “Key” layout can “open the door” to understanding, shedding light on the hidden, unconscious aspects of each specific issue. What the alignment includes: 1. What is suppressed. 2. Yin card (your feminine, passive part) 3. Yang card (your masculine, active part) 4. Meditation 5. Insight regarding the body 6. Insight regarding the heart 7. Insight regarding being 8. Awareness (understanding).
If you find it difficult to decide which layout would be better suited to answer your question, use the “Celtic Cross” - and you won’t go wrong. In the Osho Zen Tarot, the positions of the cards have a slightly non-standard meaning: 1. Subject 2. That which weakens (strengthens) the question or clarifies (complicates) the understanding of the subject 3. Unconscious influence 4. Conscious influence 5. Old model, old path 6. New look actions, movement towards something new 7. You yourself: your feelings and attitude towards the subject 8. That external thing to which you are attracted 9. What you strive for (reject) 10. Outcome (key).
The direction of the alignment is an explanation of the reasons, grounds and possible directions in understanding any condition (crisis, illness or problem) and what I should learn from this, what to pay attention to). Analysis of the layout: 1-2. What did you crucify yourself between 5-6. Newest reason(occasion). 7-8. Understanding the true meaning of events. 9. Conclusion.
The reading can be used to deeply understand your relationship with another person, be it a friend, lover or business partner. Thinking about your partner, choose four cards from the deck one at a time. Card 1. Represents you and what you bring to the relationship. Card 2. Represents the person you are interested in and what she brings to your relationship. Card 3. Reflects the dynamics of your relationship. Card 4. Gives the key to realizing their highest potential.
Osho considered the cross to be a symbol of the internal and external dimensions of existence: horizontal line corresponds to time and events outside world, and vertical means growth, development from unconscious habits and assumptions to full awareness. This alignment makes it possible to “simultaneously” read both dimensions and their influence on your life at the present time.
This layout will help you choose between two possibilities and will reveal the hidden potential in each of them. Lay out three cards of the top row for “alternative 1”, lay out three cards of the bottom row for “alternative 2” After considering possible consequences each of the alternatives, read central map- it will help you “catch” the only right choice.
The simplest and most famous of the layouts is “ instant deal”, when one card is drawn from the deck to answer a question or situation. A one-card layout can be used to clarify any issues. Before starting a fortune telling, take some time to think about what you want to clarify.
Osho Zen Tarot cards will help you concentrate on what is happening here and now. The wisdom of Zen philosophy is that everything that happens to us is a direct reflection of our thoughts and feelings, even if we ourselves cannot describe what we feel or follow the course of our thoughts. Thus, the main attention is transferred from the external world to the internal world, we get the opportunity to gain a true understanding of what is happening in our heart. Read the parable, delving into its essence as deeply as possible. Remember the events of the day that may be related to the message of the card.
At any time of the day, select a card and receive a Message from your own deepest Heart center.
This reading can be used to tune into your relationship with your friend, lover or business partner. When the questioner is worried about something in a partnership, when he is afraid for his future or feels that his partner does not treat him well enough, this alignment can be used. It will present a general picture of the current relationship between the partners.
This alignment can be useful in understanding past life events and preparing for the journey here and now. Traveling to past incarnations allows us to understand important points planning our lives and help us better navigate here, in our current physical incarnation.
Through this alignment you can look into the wheel of fate and its consequences. Depending on how we relate to fate, the Wheel of Fate will appear either as a symbol of our dependence and helplessness before it, or as a life lesson that stimulates growth and maturation.
This layout is to understand the spiritual journey of existing life.
We present to your attention a schedule that will help, if not solve the problems themselves, then, at least, find out reliably where these problems lie. Having found out the “place”, you can already use other methods to clarify the specifics. It is known that problems manifest themselves in real life in the absence of harmony in inner life. The system is based on viewing a person's life on this moment time according to seven chakras, i.e. seven aspects of human interaction with the outside world.
This layout could be helpful in discovering the balancing point. Everyone is unique because there is a point of balance.
The Osho Tarot deck is considered unconventional because it does not answer the question in a simple sense, as happens with others like it. Each card is a kind of meditation, since the decoding is one of the quotes from the master Osho himself. There is no exact answer and there never will be, because only by understanding yourself can you see it. More details about the deck itself, how it was created, and also how to work with it will be discussed in this article.
The history of Osho cards
Tarot under the name of the Indian philosopher was first published in 1995. Although considered young, she has already gained her reputation among experienced tarot readers. The cards themselves were translated into about twelve languages and during this time they found their admirers.
The idea of their creation appeared five years earlier from the sannyasin Osho Ma Zhivan Upasika. She was an experienced tarot reader from Germany who was inspired by the master's ideas. Upasiki received Osho's approval, and only after that she turned to the artist Ma Deva Padma. The latter, in fact, completed the work.
When Padma worked with tarot, she lived in Osho's commune. While the master was alive, the artist often talked to him and showed him her sketches. She finished her work after Osho died, although, according to her, the master was always invisibly present during the work until she finished it.
Osho Tarot: deck structure
It should be noted right away that many tarot readers classify this deck as an oracle, since some of its cards are somewhat different from the traditional version, both in name and in interpretation. Also, the deck itself does not answer the question specifically, but rather pushes in the direction of reflection, inspiring with the sayings of Osho.
The Tarot contains seventy-eight cards, as in classic version. The major arcana are twenty-two, and the minor arcana are fifty-six. In the deck, the suits are named slightly differently - Fire, Rainbow, Clouds, Water. A special feature is also the completely different name of each card of the Minor Arcana.
For example, there are two cards called “Moment to Moment” and “Experience”. You can only compare the Court and Aces cards with the classics. If we talk about the principle of the cards, we can note the path of the “Jester”, which differs significantly from the classics (where it goes in a spiral), because a special card has been added to the deck - “Master”. It is this that allows you to stop and get out of the spiral.
The deck also has completely different names for the Major Arcana. For example, “Empress” is called “Creativity”, and “Emperor” is called “Rebel”. It is believed that this deck is very easy to understand even without additional interpretation, since the pictures on the cards are very simple and their meaning is clear on an intuitive level.
How to work with cards
Osho Zen Tarot cards can answer any question that is asked correctly. Despite the fact that many consider the deck to be almost unearthly, with the right approach the answer will be obtained and sometimes it is very amazing. But it can be somewhat veiled, and in order to understand it, you will need to think a little.
The peculiarity of this deck is that it works well with the cause-and-effect relationships of the human condition, as well as with the emotions that accompany any situation. Use this deck if you need to conduct a mental and physical condition person. You can also ask her a question about your relationship, progress in career ladder or in business.
“Instant” layout: the simplest layout
Osho Tarot cards can predict an event for you today or simply answer any question that worries you. If you do fortune telling as meditation, then you can also use this layout. It is quite simple, you just need to decide on the question, take one card out of the deck and look at its interpretation.
Hagal layout
Difficult to understand and quite powerful layout, which is recommended to be done once in a lifetime. So if you really have important question, then lay out the Osho Zen Tarot cards in the “Hagal” layout.
Here you can see the combination of two oracles at once, which are considered very powerful. This is the Armantic Futhark and Zen Tarot. The rune itself, in its interpretation, means creation and creativity, as well as change and destiny. Therefore, in combination with Osho cards, the layout is considered very powerful.
The layout is laid out in the form of a rune, it contains eight cards. The first tells about the influence of past lives on you, the second card can tell you why the questioner came here. The third card will tell you about what is now, and the fourth about what is destructive and therefore pulls you back. From the fifth card you can learn about what will help in development and growth, and from the sixth card - about existing help in life. The seventh card will show destructive actions, and the eighth will talk about the necessary meditation.
Layout “Bird in flight”
This is another Osho Tarot spread. In its shape it really resembles a bird in flight. The left wing will tell the questioner about the energy of the feminine principle that is affecting at the moment. The right wing is a symbol of active male energy.
The layout uses seven cards, counting starts with the one in the middle. She is also considered men's card. Next comes second women's card, and so the sequence is observed until the very end. This layout can be compared to a ladder along which the questioner climbs, because each currently selected card is the answer to the previous one.
Layout “Paradox”
The entire Osho Tarot deck is involved in this layout. Place it in front of you and concentrate on your inner questions or simply meditate. Then divide the deck into three parts and choose one of them. Remove the top card - it will tell you about what is here and now. Pull out the lowest card - it will tell you about the influence of past lives on you. All that remains is to choose any one card from the pile - it is this that is the desired paradox.
“Unity” layout
Some created using Tarot Osho layouts designed for two. So, if you use the “Unity” layout, you will be able to understand existing relationships(between you and your partner) and understand why misunderstandings arise. Perhaps, by laying out the cards, you will see something that can be thrown out of the relationship, or you will become convinced that you really need it.
Ten cards are involved in the layout. They are laid out in a semicircle (seven cards) around three cards in strict sequence. Those located in the center (two crosswise, and one on top in the usual position) talk about the relationship between partners, and those located around them (or rather, opposite the one in the center) are internal state partner.
“Key” layout
This layout uses eight cards, which are laid out from top to bottom. Using it, you can consider the hidden unconscious aspects of your question. In addition, it can be unfolded if you need to learn about inner life, about what is happening here and now.
Layout “Mirror”
Another alignment for relationships. With its help, you can make a detailed analysis of your relationship with another person (for example, a husband, lover or any relative). The cards will tell you about the energies that flow between you and how much they interact.
The layout uses twelve cards. They are located in vertical lines opposite each other. 1-3 and 7-9 cards tell about the one who lays out the cards, 4-5 and 10-11 tell about the other person.
Conclusion
Osho's deck is suitable for those people who always look inside themselves, often meditate and engage in spiritual practice. But it doesn’t matter if the deck came to you, but you don’t feel spiritual in yourself. This means that you are on the verge of something new and amazing that will completely change your life. It’s not for nothing that the layouts in the Osho ZenTaro deck are quite numerous, and at the same time they have very interesting and poetic names that reflect their essence. Choose the right one and explore your inner world, because these are the cards that can most accurately reveal it to you.
SHARE
I was 14 years old when I timidly but enthusiastically took these cards. Osho Zen Tarot has been my work deck for over 10 years. I learned to use Tarot not from the classics, but from her.
This deck stands alone. Some esotericists consider her an oracle. Others draw attention to the Waitean system of interpretation. Still others plunge into deep meditation with her. In short, the deck is controversial. This is understandable, because its creator is the greatest mystic, philosopher and rebel of India of the twentieth century.
Facts about Osho Zen Tarot
The deck was created in 1995 by a follower of Osho’s teachings, Ma Deva Padma (Susan Morgan). The work went on for 5 years under the guidance of the Master himself.
The attached manual provides a philosophical interpretation of each card with excerpts from Osho's lectures. But in it you will not find direct instructions in the style: “This card means this, it should be read this way, and in the vicinity of such cards it gives such and such advice.” Osho invested his knowledge and vision so that the user of the deck did not follow a clearly fixed interpretation, but independently felt the cards and used intuition as much as possible.
There are 79 cards in the deck. Osho introduced additional card The Master, who is the quintessence of the entire deck. In the layouts it reads as “you yourself know the answer. You are the Master."
Master Osho depicted himself on the map The back of the deck is decorated with Osho's autograph.
It is believed that an autograph gives the deck special power, the patronage of the creator. The deck structure is familiar:
- Major and Minor Arcana;
- 4 suits, but already unusual - Water (emotions), Clouds (mind), Rainbow (unity), Fire (action);
- Courtyard maps marked with triangles.
Also, each card has a hint word - a leading meaning, a ready-made answer.
And all this does not matter. Yes, yes, you read that right. The structure of the deck, suits and colors are of secondary importance here. The main thing is the plot. Therefore, some esotericists believe that the deck is not suitable for searching for answers to everyday, mundane questions, but only for spiritual work.
There is some truth in this, since interpretation occurs primarily in the spirit. The deck encourages you to work through the situation in your mind, and only then move on to action.
For example, the Client asks how to improve his health.
Dropped: Guilt, Lovers, Postponement, Ordinariness, Generosity, Healing, Totality. Interpretation: First of all, the Client needs to develop self-love. Instead of guilt and self-examination - acceptance, self-respect (Guilt, Lovers). Moreover, do this here and now, in everyday situations, and not wait for a sign from above (Postponement, Ordinaryness). The more actively the Client aligns his attitude towards himself, the faster the healing will occur. Probably, several more sores will wake up as a consequence of the past negative thinking(Generosity, Healing). Therefore, the grip cannot be released. Always maintain calm and peace of mind (Totality).
As you can see, there is no need to dive into the meanings, consider the advantage of the Major Arcana, or identify the predominant suit. Everything is extremely simple.
Osho Zen Tarot is universal in all respects. You'll get useful recommendations and answers to any topic: love, work, money, health, spirituality. Easily determine the timing of the prediction. How exactly - read on.
Features of the Osho Zen Tarot deck
Don't look for anything from Waite or Crowley in the deck. If you want, of course, you can find similarities, but why? This is a non-classical deck, so put everything you have previously learned on the back burner. You will see familiar plots: The Fool and the Clown, We are the world and the World, Friendliness, etc. But these similarities do not mean anything.
When working with Osho Zen Tarot, you should carefully look at the images and use clue words. Take a look at the map Politics: mask, unpleasant face, the snake evokes simple associations, they also have meanings - self-interest, lies, deception (including self-deception), dependence on outside opinions, etc.
Politics card in the Osho Zen Tarot deck Or the Integration card: the elements of fire and water, the grace of a swan and the strength of an eagle, two faces in one, ouroboros - this card is about unity, balance, calm, reconciliation, a combination of opposites.
Integration card in the Osho Zen Tarot deck The cards are easy to read - no need to memorize dozens of meanings, no need to rummage through interpretative books. Everything is in the images.
The only difficulty that a tarot reader may encounter is how to tie all this spirituality to everyday issues, the material plane. Here, in addition to intuition, use associations and rise above the situation.
I'll go back to the roots. Our world is dual. There is Theos and Chaos, Light and Darkness, Spirit and Matter. There is also a duality in the Osho Zen Tarot: the solution everyday issues through spiritual processing. Therefore, the recommendations from the cards always sound like this: in order to get something on the physical plane, first do something in spirit (change your attitude, put your thoughts in order, let go of control over the situation, etc.)
How to tell fortunes using Osho Zen Tarot?
Over 13 years of working with Osho Zen Tarot, I have discovered a simple and effective method card reading. And now you will recognize him.
You need:
- That's right, ask the question as precisely as possible;
- Lay out any number of cards;
- Determine in general whether the drawn cards have a positive or negative meaning;
- Start the interpretation with the map that is most understandable to you;
- Read the cards in any order.
Let me give you a clear example.
Question: What are the reasons for the Client’s loneliness?
Cards drawn: Sadness, Participation, Receptivity, Slowing down, Politics, Struggle. Interpretation: look as a whole. The gloomy cards of Sadness, Politics, Struggle fell out. This means that the reasons for loneliness are the negative attitude of the Client himself. But the pleasant Participation and Receptivity lie nearby - there is hope.
We highlight the most simple map Receptivity - instead of a head there is a lotus flower. That is, the Client has completely turned off his head and is guided by emotions. The client has overestimated his importance and is immersed in negative feelings. Here's Sadness, Struggle, Politics. He is engaged in self-flagellation, but does not solve the situation - all the images are static, there is no forward striving.
At the same time, in the Client’s environment there is worthy partners(Participation), but they do not attract him. The client persuades himself, like, it’s not time yet, there’s something wrong with me, etc. Therefore, the matter will not move forward in any way (Slowdown).
How to determine the prediction period?
There are three approaches to determine prediction timing:
Option 1. Ask it initially when formulating the question.
For example, the prospects of gaining new job during three months.
Cards: Consciousness, Healing, Innocence, Receptivity, Journey, Lightning. Interpretation: in general, cards with a positive meaning. That is, the chances are great. At the same time, the cards are static, except for Travel and Lightning. They're more about internal work Client than about active actions.
Let's start with the most understandable card - Lightning. Work will drop unexpectedly, and perhaps in another city, with frequent business trips (Travel). The client needs to work on self-esteem - to believe in his strength, to appreciate his potential (Consciousness, Healing). Get rid of doubts in the style of “I’m not smart, good, or experienced enough,” that is, reduce the importance (Sensitivity). And also be ready to learn, hone your skills, even knowing your field of activity inside and out (Innocence).
Option 2. Lay out cards in several ways.
For example, you found out that the Client will be able to find a job within three months. Now lay out one card for each month: January, February, March. In which option the card with the most positive meaning was drawn, in that month the Client will find a job.
Maps: Ripeness for January, Slowdown for February, Source for March Interpretation: Ripeness says - work is unlikely to appear in January, the Client will still be “ripening”. Slowdown - the chances are extremely low. But the Source glows with positive prospects. In March, the Client has the best chance of finding a job.
Option 3. Analyze the dropped cards based on their dynamics.
The deck contains dynamic cards and stagnation cards.
For example, Intensity, Rebel, Breakthrough, Playfulness, Adventure and others are dynamic cards. They clearly indicate forward movement. They indicate the acceleration of events, the fulfillment of a prediction in short time: from a couple of days to several weeks.
Dynamic maps that indicate the development of the situation Sadness, Guilt, Slowdown, Completeness, Control and others are cards of stagnation. The figures in the images are static, there is no sense of dynamics, which means that the fulfillment of the prediction is delayed for a longer period.
Passive cards that indicate stagnation The client is wondering if now is a good time to move to another city.
Cards drawn: Fool, Healing, Intensity, Dream. Interpretation: The Fool and Intensity are dynamic, Healing is too, do you see how the waves of energy move in the image?
Now the Client can easily start new stage in life (Fool, Healing). He will move quickly and successfully (Intensity) if he casts aside doubts and believes in his goal (Dream).
A client asks about the prospects for a salary increase at his current job.
Cards: Frozen, Beyond Illusions, Postponement, Patience Interpretation: Frozenness, Postponement and Patience are static, there is no movement.
The prospects are bleak. No salary increase in sight (Frozen). Although it is possible that the authorities will promise this (Beyond Illusions), but will postpone the resolution of the issue until later (Postponement). So the Client will have to wait (Patience).
Who is Osho Zen Tarot suitable for?
Absolutely any tarot reader - both experienced and beginner. During the first year of conducting their Tarot divination courses, 11 students out of 40 chose Osho deck. I didn’t impose or insist, but the students preferred these cards because they were easy to take off. And most importantly - a deep understanding of even the most everyday issues.
P.S. There are several manuals for working with this deck, but they are often not available in online stores. I am editing my own book on working with Osho Zen Tarot. Layout and publication are ahead. I will try to complete work on the manual by the end of spring and release it for free download. So you can explore the deck yourself with my tips and recommendations.
0 Fool
Straight position:
The card shows that if you trust your intuition right now, you feel that things are “right,” you cannot be mistaken. Your actions may seem stupid to others or even to yourself if you try to analyze them from a rational point of view. But the “zero place” occupied by the Fool is a place without a number, where the adviser is not skepticism and past experience, but trust and innocence.
Description of the lasso:
Moment to moment, and with every step, the Fool leaves the past behind. He carries in his hand white rose, which symbolizes his purity, innocence and gullibility. The design of his vest contains the colors of all four elements of the tarot, showing that he is in harmony with the world around him. His intuition had reached its peak. At this moment, he finds support in the universe to take a leap into the unknown. Adventure awaits him on the river of life.
Meaning of the card:
A fool is one who always trusts; a fool is one who continues to trust despite his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; you deceive him again, and he trusts you again; you deceive him again, and he trusts you again. Then you will say that he is a fool, that he does not study. His trust is amazing, his trust is so pure that no one can destroy it. Be a fool in the sense of Tao, in the sense of Zen. Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around yourself. Whatever experience comes to you, let it happen and then go on throwing it away. Keep constantly clearing your mind, keep dying to the past so that you remain in the present, here-now, as if you were just born, as if you were a baby. In the beginning it is very difficult. People will start deceiving you...let them. They are unhappy. Even if you are fooled, deceived and robbed, let it happen, because no one can steal from you what is truly yours, no one can take away from you what is truly yours. And every time you do not allow the situation to overwhelm you, that opportunity will become an internal integration. Your soul will become more crystallized.

Rider White values:
ASTROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Uranus/Mercury in the sense of openness of character, curiosity, spontaneity and a bit of crazy; in interaction with Neptune - a feeling of guidance from above.
JOKE.
The jester is ours inner child. It means the spontaneous start of something new, impartiality, openness. This is a carefree game, the most elementary joy of life, a period when we enter the unknown with cheerful surprise and without any specific expectations. However, it can also mean infantilism with all its attributes - frivolity, naivety, gambling, and simply stupidity. Or - wise simplicity, modesty of requests and humility, to which we usually come only at the end of a long and the hard way. A jester can also be a cunning, mischievous person. One way or another, he lives only in the present, he is a frank, sincere, mobile person. Is it good or bad? What this card means: our stubborn reluctance to become an adult or, on the contrary, the simplicity acquired along with long experience - will have to be judged by the whole scenario as a whole. The jester always warns about something completely new that is ready to burst into our lives, which causes chaos in it, and we ourselves may get a few bumps, but there is actually nothing dangerous about it.

0 - Fool
Uranus
The zero card FOOL (another name is Jester) is likened to the material Universe. But she, like a mortal human body, is nothing more than a robe, a motley suit, suitable for a jester, under whose clothing, however, there is a divine substance, of which buffoonery is just a shadow. Tarot cards were given by enlightened priests to be kept by the stupid ignorant people who made them playing cards, in many ways even an instrument of vice. Man's diabolical habits, therefore, became the unconscious guardian of his philosophical precepts.
If the FOOL is placed in the first place in the deck, and the other cards are laid out in a row from left to right, then you can find that the FOOL goes to other characters, as if passing through all the cards. He, like a neophyte spiritually blind because of a blindfold, is ready to embark on the most difficult journey leading through the gates of Divine Wisdom.
Uranus - embodies the principle of primordial movement. In the TAROT, this principle is compared with the concept of “living nature” and the picture of the Jester, symbolizing divine power before manifestation. This is a divine genius, capable of creating the Universe and destroying it, but... The Universe does not yet exist, and therefore the FOOL is only zero, nothing, absolute emptiness, which can become anything, and the absolute freedom of this becoming: in this there is nothing, in potential contains everything.
The planet Uranus says that God creates the Universe easily, accidentally and not on purpose - and such is the spontaneous Nature of human genius. Most often, the Jester is depicted holding a bundle on a stick over his shoulders and balancing with it (the bundle) on the edge of an abyss. In this bundle there is that “everything” and “nothing” that forced the Jester to set off on his journey.
In a narrowly practical perspective on human life this card is interpreted as a warning against dangers and everything unexpected, fundamentally new and unknown. But behind this unknown there is more broad meaning the highest creativity is creation from scratch, from the fullness of one’s being.
And let creation be a violation of the original order of being - and therefore there is an abyss before the Fool - but still it is dictated by higher moral laws and therefore simply cannot be a creation if it does not carry the original principle.
IN upright position the position of the Jester card can mean the beginning of a new life cycle, any new things. There is energy, optimism, strength and happiness. The map shows unexpected, unplanned circumstances that can turn the current state of affairs upside down. Also indicates the need to adopt important decisions: - you are free to choose any direction, go anywhere, do whatever you want.
In an inverted position, the Jester’s position speaks of restless, impulsive activity, rash actions. Symbolizes madness and carelessness, a waste of energy, time and effort. The problem is not being solved. You are very careless about something important. Your choice may turn out to be bad, your decision may be fatal. Sometimes this card symbolizes a person who tirelessly looking for a shift environment and activities, starting a lot of things, but not finishing anything. In addition, the card can mean thoughtlessness, whims and caprices, extravagance, lack of discipline, immaturity, irrationality in thoughts and behavior, exaltation, defenselessness, inability to calculate consequences, and in extreme cases, frenzy.
"A symbol of a blind man who has turned himself into the slavery of matter. His knapsack is overflowing with his delusions and senseless actions. A broken obelisk is the death of his deeds. The crocodile (in Papus's cards a crocodile is depicted instead of a dog) is an emblem of inexorable fatality and... inevitable atonement and retribution for what he has done , since nothing in life is done “just like that” - and you have to pay for everything.”
