Illuminated Tarot — The Fool (Major Arcana)

This Arcana says plainly: you’re building castles in the air.

You may be living in a fantasy, reading others’ behavior—especially a partner’s—in poetic, rushed, or unrealistic ways. It might be how you wish things were, but it doesn’t match reality.

If you can recognize this “wild” fantasy, you can turn things around—so that nothing stays rootless, living on projects that start and shatter overnight.

Think carefully about whether you are The Fool here—or the other person is. While you reflect and organize your thoughts, don’t make rash moves or leap into adventures; avoid major decisions for now. If this means ending a relationship, as hard as it is, it may be better to decide and follow through.

It’s very possible this incoherence doesn’t come from your mind or your poetic, dreamy temperament at all—but from the other person living in an illusory way.
