[MD] the Fool

[MarshaV]

Symbolism

 

The Fool is the spirit in search of experience.  He represents the mystical
cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into
the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the
divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance. On his back are all the
possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his
appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes
seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world",
nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly unconcerned that
he is standing on a precipice, apparently about to step off.

 

The number 0 is a perfect significator for the Fool, as it can become
anything when he reaches his destination. Zero plus anything equals the same
thing. Zero times anything equals zero.[6] Zero is nothing, a lack of hard
substance, and as such it may reflect a non-issue or lack of cohesiveness
for the subject at hand.
