him toward his goal.
The Fool is you and Johnny. You've traveled a long road together, discovered
your potential. Your destination is the World, the final arcanum. Both of you

make peace. Unfortunately, you could lose the war too.

more world-weary than he started out, the Fool faces a moment of reckoning.
Some of us accept where our journey has led us to, while others embark on a
new challenge. One thing in this World is certain - you can't have it all.

delicate thread and the struggle between common sense and intuition. The

knows what she wants, and exhibits refinement and sensuousness. The

but also that not every situation is hopeless.
Justice is the card of conflict resolution. It proclaims the need for order, to see

goes through the Sun, the Star, Temperance and the Devil.
