Tarot Card Descriptions
Many people will say many different things about tarot cards and tarot card descriptions; truth is there are many ways to understand them, but only one true way to actually define them. Tarot cards are a stack of cards placed in front of you, defining some of your most sought after questions in life.
Symbolism means everything in these cards, the mystical images for the divination and infamous fortune telling. They are most commonly known for their aspects of being a valuable thing for help with your life’s problems. People generally turn to these tarot card descriptions as a means of understanding their problems, concerns or questions in life and relationships. Tarot card descriptions may mean something different to each individual; however the cards themselves only have one meaning per card, symbol or suit.
Tarot cards were first known for being the card game used for entertainment among the upper class in ancient times. In the most popular tarot card descriptions, there is the game of “trumps”. This one in particular is a short word for triumph. There are 21 particular cards that could be ultimately played, no matter what hand was followed. These cards actually stood out from the normal or ordinary cards in hand. The idea that these cards were “special” gave the impression that they had special powers. Tarot card description can be difficult to understand, but with the right teaching or guidance can make complete sense.
In tarot card descriptions there are four suits; Swords, Wands, Pentacles and Cups. These were often compared with the natural elements from their world by Europeans, and thought to hold mystical powers of sorts. They soon brought in the images to these cards giving them even more meaning to their occult beliefs. The tarot card descriptions will portray an aspect in your life depending on the suit presented to you.
Druids, pagan priests, and witches were often the ones dealing these cards for people, creating an element of power among the people and villages. It is still widely accepted and known today that these cards hold a mystical power and that the tarot card descriptions were each just as powerful.
Each card has a different suit, a different meaning or tarot card description, none of which will ever be exactly the same. The reader understands these cards and what each picture or symbol means. The person will have a symbol that represents an aspect of their life, sort of like a puzzle. The reader will put together the “puzzle” in a sense that ultimately will make sense to the person having the reading done.
As each card is turned over by the person, the reader will be able to explain the meaning or description of that tarot card and its relation to each prior card that has been turned over. Often the person will soon figure out what each card was trying to represent in their life and revealing a solution to their problem or unanswered questions. Tarot card descriptions can ultimately help a person throughout their lives if done correctly.

Using metaphors, what is the image description of the tarot card “The Fool” ? ?
The answer is hazy, guarded or shrouded wisdom.
References :
Just starting out.
On a journey, starting an adventure.
Don't know where you're going, but you are just going and not looking nor paying attention to what's beneath. Notice the huge drop as the fool is on a cliff.
Not paying attention to any warnings or signals. Will learn from mistakes. Don't know your direction or which way to go, as clothes seem to unmatch and be miscoordinated and or backwards. Just starting off. Just starting things off. Don't know where it will take you but you're just starting.
The astrological sign Aries is associated with the Fool. The first sign in the zodiac and the first card in the tarot deck.

Because of his silences many look down on the Fool. However, the Fool is a Seeker who holds what he learns in his mind until he has perfect knowledge and usage of that Learning.
Here is a poem of the Fool in one of my plays in which the Tarot is an important part.
I be the Fool, though I do not drool,
as some around me do.
The tales I tell, from my lonely cell,
speak jabber wocky new.
High crystal road, when heavy strode,
breaks tinkling like a bell.
Then human minds, like old pork rinds,
do slowly go to gel.

With out an image I cannot give you metaphores. I use many different decks, so each has their own way about them-
Here are some key words though.
Blind Faith
happy go lucky
naïve
uninhibited
on the edge
adventurous and explorative
curious
careless
silly
Aries actually rules the Emperor card, it is Uranus that rules The Fool card
Uranus’ brief description is Modern thought, Experimentation, New ideas
Where Aries is Active, Demanding, Determined, Effective, Ambitious- sounds more like an Emperor than a Fool
