In this card we can see a young man who goes with a cane and a cloth where he carries everything he possesses in life. Despite his pace he is erratic, and as he looks in awe at the firmament he doesn´t realize that he walks straight into the abyss. At his feet a dog, which for some represents our instintive side, tries to warn him of the danger, without getting this young man to pay attention to him.

Generally speaking this chart represents our adventurous side, however it can also point out our immature or unconscious side that goes around the world without seeing well where it will put the next step. Likewise, tarot specialists agree that this card sometimes also points to the person who is taken by others as crazy or eccentric for not respecting the conventionalisms and parameters instituted by society.
