first time getting the fool reversed... is it always bad?
so I've been reading tarot for about 6 months now and I finally got the fool reversed for the first time today. was doing a reading about whether to take a new job opportunity
everything I'm reading online makes it sound super negative - like being reckless, making stupid decisions, etc. but idk the upright fool is about new beginnings and taking leaps of faith right?
does reversed always mean the opposite/bad version? or is there nuance I'm missing here
kind of freaking out a little ngl

Oh sweet one, reversals are rarely as scary as the internet makes them sound!
The Fool reversed isn't about being foolish - it's often about hesitation. It whispers: are you holding back from a leap because of genuine wisdom... or because of fear?
In a job reading, this could mean: pause and make sure you have all the information before jumping. It's not a "don't do it" - it's a "look before you leap."
Trust your inner knowing here. What does your gut say about this opportunity?
honestly reversals used to freak me out too until I started seeing them as like... the shadow side or the quieter version of the card
the fool reversed for me usually means I need to think things through more, not that I shouldn't do the thing at all
I got fool reversed when I was thinking about moving cities last year!! I almost didn't go because of it but then I realized it was just telling me to actually have a plan instead of just winging it
ended up moving 3 months later after I had savings and a job lined up. best decision ever
ok this is all making me feel so much better lol. I think maybe it's telling me to negotiate more or ask better questions before accepting? gonna sit with it a bit more. thank you all!!
