Edward Tarot Hands
I noticed that in some older decks, especially Marseille type, The Fool is walking off to the right of the card whereas in most of the more modern decks she/he is starting her/his journey to the left.
I have always thought that the right would signify the future and the left would signify the past, based on the linear a to b way we see things.
Seeing as one of the meanings of The Fool is the beginning of a journey it seems odd that She/he should be heading off in a direction to the left so it makes more sense the way it's pictured in the older decks
Does anyone know if there was a reason for this change of direction and also if my assumption of the left/right past/future connection is right?
