Imprisoned within a cage of his own making, the Fool can only free himself through the sudden change and release signified by the Tower.

Though the Fool seems to have everything he could want, the Devil within remains.

Having gone through so many experiences, the Fool now needs the the balance and stability signified by Temperance.

Death has come for the Fool, but not necessarily in a literal sense. All things come to an end, and the Fool accepts that his old ways of living and being need to be cut away to make room for change.

The Fool struggles to free himself, but as he slowly relinquishes control, he feels a sense of serenity. By surrendering instead of struggling, he starts seeing his situation from a new perspective.

At this point, the Fool realizes that everything in the world keeps its own balance. Every action has consequences, and he begins to act with a better sense of Justice, fairness, and integrity.

After spending some time in stillness and silence the Fool starts to see how everything moves and connects in the form of the Wheel of Fortune.

Tthe Hermit in the Fountain Tarot shines a light at the edge of the woods. He is alone, but he stands tall and resolute as he seeks answers in the darkest, most isolated parts of his soul.

Strength depicts a softer kind of power—one that tames the Fool’s wilder emotions and animalistic instincts with self-control, tolerance, and patience.

The Chariot is traditionally illustrated with two steeds—one black, one white—to indicate the control the charioteer has over two opposing forces. Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, perfectly embodies this.
