That being said...I've seen conflicting opinions on The Fool: some say it's a Yes, some say it's a No (I'm in this group).
I'm curious to know how many others see it one way or another...and an explanation of why you interpret it one or another.
Sample question: If I buy a car and start driving again, will I be horribly injured in a car accident?
A yes-answer would be a negative life-event.
Sample question: Someone I love is about to catch an international flight. Will their plane be downed by terrorists?
A no-answer would be a positive life-event.
People confuse yeses with positive information, and nos with negative information, with absolutely no basis for that confusion.
I'm a great believer in pendulums for yes-no answers - the mere fact that you are asking this, indicates that the Fool speaks to you about all sorts of things rather than easily giving you a one-word answer. If I *have* to ask yes-no questions (and it hasn't happened in years), and I *have* to use Tarot, I'll simply toss a coin. I'll take the Ace Coins (pentacles) and toss it into the air, putting some spin onto it, If it lands on the table face-up that's a yes. If it lands face-down, that's a no. You could do that with a Fool card easily, too. So in that sense, the Fool is both YES and NO simultaneously, which is very much akin to his psychological meaning.
