Personal Insights & Other Notes: The Fool is both exciting and bittersweet as it calls for a new adventure while ultimately hinting that we have to say goodbye to another. There is a sense of transition, of childhood to adulthood, and with that a loss that may never be replaced. But the benefits of this leap will surely be promising in its own right.
