July’s theme, the Hanged Man, is about a change in point of view, and what better way to invite a fresh perspective than to begin a new journey? That’s just what The Fool card signifies this week: an attitude of openness and playfulness, of willingness to set out without an established plan and see where the road takes you. This month requires pushing past discomfort, letting go of the self-imposed restrictive attitudes that might be preventing you from living your fullest life. Loosen up your ideas of what has to be, and let life be an unfolding adventure.

Say yes to things this week before fear or rationality can talk you out of it. Be spontaneous. Go places you’ve been curious about — visit a new country, a new city, a different neighborhood, or even just the new restaurant down the street. A Fool experience doesn’t have to be hugely risky or large-scale. Cook something without a recipe. Take a walk without a destination. Try on clothes at a shop that looks interesting (without feeling pressure to buy anything!). There are so many possible manifestations of this card in daily life.

The Fool, ultimately, is an optimist, which can be a difficult attitude to maintain. But don’t worry — even the best Fool isn’t setting out without some amount of preparation. Figure out what your bare necessities are and pack them in your metaphorical traveling bag so that you can enjoy being spontaneous while still feeling safe and somewhat grounded. In many decks’ depictions of the card, including this one, the Fool is also shown with a small dog as a traveling companion. The dog is usually energetic and jumping up at the Fool’s leg to push the figure ahead in the journey. This week, figure out who or what is your little dog, the person or thing that motivates you to keep going even when you feel tired or discouraged.
