The Fool: The Fool Yes or No
If you have taken the upright The Fool tarot card in a one-card draw for a yes or no question, it often means a yes.
Reading Upright and Reversed Tarot Cards
However, should your practice include the reading of reversals, the article has included explanations for both upright and reversed tarot cards.
The Fool represents a new start with exciting possibilities. Whether you are looking to begin a new work project or relationship, The Fool is a welcoming card to receive.
However, most experienced tarot readers will tell you that drawing and reading a single card for answers might not accurately represent the context of what you are asking about.
The beauty of tarot cards is in identifying the symbolism of each card and making a connection to what you are asking. Different situations might result in a slightly different interpretation of The Fool yes or no.
To help you make a better judgement call on whether you have drawn a yes or no, here are some common questions asked in different situations.

The Fool: The Fool Yes or No in Love (Upright and Reversed)
New Beginnings | Dating or Situationship | In a Relationship | Married or Civil Union | Separated | Divorced |
Yes | Yes | Maybe | No | No | No |
The Fool in love can refer to the feelings of spontaneity or wanting to be free.
So while The Fool might usually refer to a yes in a yes or no question, you can see how it might be slightly off its mark in a question about a committed relationship. I have encountered many readings where The Fool has emerged as an experimental connection that goes nowhere because of commitment phobia from either one or both parties.
From personal experience, here are some questions that might indicate a resounding yes:
- Is the person ready to begin a new relationship or connection with me?
- Is the person open to a new relationship or connection?
- Does the person have positive feelings for me?
Questions in love that might indicate a maybe instead of a yes are:
- Does the person want to take our relationship to the next step?
- Is the person ready for deeper commitment?
- Does the person have deep feelings for me?
Other questions that I usually see as a no, or draw another card with the same question are:
- Does the person still have feelings for me?
- Does the person want to reconcile?
- Does the person still think of me?
A rule of thumb that you can use to see whether you are reading accurately is to refer to the number of the tarot card being read.
The Fool is represented by the number 0 – a number of unlimited possibilities and potential in new situations. When it comes to situations such as a going for a second date after meeting on Tinder or meeting someone new, The Fool heralds exciting beginnings. This might not be the same for committed relationships.
If you are looking to deepen your understanding of the reading, it is highly recommended to take a 3-card spread instead of a 1-card draw for your yes or no reading.

The Fool: The Fool Yes or No in Career (Upright and Reversed)
New Job | Freelancer | Current Job | Job Promotion | Leaving a Job |
Yes | Yes | Maybe | No | Yes |
The Fool appearing in your career question can refer to entrepreneurship, taking up a new job role or simply being excited about new possibilities when changing a job.
I enjoy seeing The Fool when starting a new project or job. If you are embarking on a new career path, The Fool can be a card of that encourages you to take new strides and make your own path. I am more hesitant about viewing it as a yes if it appears in a card about a promotion or career stability.
These are some questions that might strongly indicate a yes for career-related readings:
- Should I apply for a new job?
- Should I try for a new job position?
- Should I switch industries to one that I am interested in?
Questions that might indicate a maybe instead of a yes are:
- Is it the right time for me to request for a pay rise or job promotion?
- Can I get the pay rise that I requested?
- Will I get the job for the highly competitive role that I applied for?
These are some questions that lean towards a no, instead of a yes:
- Will I get the internal job promotion that I am looking for?
- Is it possible for me to get further financing for my department budget?
- Will I be supported for my current project proposal?

The Fool: The Fool Yes or No in Finances (Upright and Reversed)
New Income Stream | Sudden Windfall | Salary Increment | Diversified Income | Savings | In Debt |
Yes | No | No | Maybe | No | Maybe |
The Fool appearing in your reading about money and finances can refer to a new and possibly unplanned income stream that you might encounter when you have an open mind.
Before you head off to splash out on a new fast car or take a line of credit out for a luxury apartment, The Fool by no means represents a sudden windfall or striking the lottery. It simply means that you might encounter unique opportunities that can possibly lead to a new income stream.
In some cases, The Fool can signal overspending or living without any thought of the consequences.
Here are some finance-related questions that I would typically see as a yes:
- If I try out an opportunity that I am currently looking at now, will I be able to improve my financial situation?
- Should I take on another job to improve my financial situation?
- Is it a good idea to juggle my full-time job with my freelancing gig?
Questions with answers that might lean towards a maybe are:
- Would I be able to get the grant that I applied for?
- Will my new job allow me to save up enough money for an apartment?
- Will freelancing earn me the same amount of money as working in my current job?
Questions that might point towards a no are:
- Will working with a business partner increase the revenue of my company?
- Will my investment in the business result in a big payout?
- Should I invest in a bigger sales team that can increase the revenue of my company?
