Major Arcana, The zero Tarot card

0. The Zero Tarot Card Tarot Card is named “The Fool”. Regardless its seemingly unserious name, this Card is one of the key Cards of the Major Arcanum, and it is associated with the First Card, or a Magician, not due to a simple coincidence. This Card is outside the circle of the Major Arcanum. Emerging from the Zero point, and directed to all the four corners of the Earth, is the entire our visible material world, which is created by the four elements — Fire, Air, Water, Earth. Each of the four elements consists of 16 transitional steps, reflected via the corresponding 16 Cards. The entire Card deck is formed by 64 Cards, which symbolize the human life picture in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot Cards.

Manly P. Hall emphasized the occult importance of this Card, saying that the Zero Card has been linked to the material Universe because the mortal sphere is the World of unreality. The lower Universe (it is where we are), like the mortal body of man is but a garment, a motley costume, well linked to cap and bells. Beneath the garments of the fool is the Divine substance, however, of which the jester is but a shadow; this world is a Mardi Gras — a pageantry of Divine sparks masked in the garb of Fools.

This card symbolizes Genesis, Spirit, Creation at the very early unsteady stages, or joyful, naïve, inexperienced and egocentric creature with passion for adventures, artistry, wastefulness and restlessness. Combined with favorable Cards, it is the undeserved benefit, whereas with the Judgment Card it predicts troubles or even a criminal case, which is not necessarily inevitable with the Nine of Cups, but the troubles are inevitable with the overturned King of Swords, Five of Wands. In the overturned position, this Card symbolizes carelessness, uncertainty and reluctance.


Astrological association is the planet Uranus.

The first Tarot card

1. The First Tarot Card is “The Magician”. It symbolizes Adam Kadmon of the humankind, who had three heads, according to the legend. The material body of a modern human in some way also has three heads, placed one above another — the head, the torso and the pelvis, each having its own analogs. For example, the analogs of eyes and mouth in a torso are breasts and the navel. As we know, before birth, the fetus is fed via navel cord, or the primeval mouth. Each of the three heads has its own primeval “brain”; in a torso, it is within the nerve tissue of the solar plexus, also known as the abdominal brain. By activating our primeval brain of the lower heads, and by opening one’s chakras, we are able to access the telepathic communication channels to contact others at large distances, and to contact the Spiritual World. Please, read more on the matter in my new book “Learning telepathy in 10 minutes”.

The Magician is associated with the active male principle, being the initiator of the transformation process, symbolizing the domination and eternal life, the harmony of forces, thoughts, feelings, wishes and emotions. This Card may mean the person, for whom the fortunetelling is being carried out, if this is a man. In initial position, it symbolizes confidence, skills and good abilities. In overturned position, it is uncertainty, hesitation and weakness.

It is the best that helps with those actions, which need the efforts of a team, for it might be useless for a single person.

She is the keeper of legends and rules the invisible order.

This Card may mean a person, for whom the fortunetelling may be carried out, if the person is a woman. In its initial position, it predicts love, mysteriousness, and romanticism. The combination with the Maid of Cups, Four of Wands, is a good sign. In the overturned position, it means passion, regret, demolition, or the secret that is no longer a secret.

Defeat evil people to prevent them from thinking bad things and conceiving bad things. Repel a sorcerer or a snitch! Odolen-trava! Defeat high mountains, and low valleys, and blue lakes, and abrupt banks, and dark forests, and stubs and logs for me!
