The Sun
Joy, Success, Vitality, Clarity, Enlightenment, Optimism, Freedom
A radiant sun shines over a joyful child riding a white horse, arms wide in pure freedom and innocence. Behind the child is a stone wall crowned with sunflowers, symbols of loyalty, life, and growth. The Sun’s light dispels all shadows—it is the light of truth, optimism, and unshakable life-force energy. This card is the embodiment of joy and celebration, where everything is illuminated and flourishing.
The Sun is one of the most positive cards in the tarot, heralding a time of abundance, clarity, and success. You are aligned with your true self, radiating warmth and confidence. This is a season of celebration, personal growth, and emotional openness. What once felt difficult now feels simple. Light surrounds you—bask in it and share your joy with others.
Love feels easy, radiant, and true. If you’re in a relationship, this suggests deep connection and playful happiness. If you’re single, it’s a great time to attract love by being authentically yourself. There is nothing to hide. Vulnerability is your beauty.
Financial freedom or good fortune is within reach. Prosperity flows from your optimistic outlook. This is a great time to make generous, wise investments or enjoy the fruits of your labor. Let money be a tool of joy, not worry.
Success, recognition, and renewed energy bless your professional path. You may receive positive news, a promotion, or simply feel re-inspired. This is a great time to start new projects—confidence and clarity are your allies.
Reversed, The Sun may indicate a temporary cloud over your joy. You may be doubting your worth, dimming your light, or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities. The light is still there—you simply need to reconnect with it. Release fear, invite clarity, and let joy be your compass once again.
You may feel a disconnection from your partner or your inner joy. Perhaps you’re relying too much on external validation. Reignite love by returning to playfulness, honesty, and affection. The sun rises again—so can love.
You may be placing too much importance on material success. Step into gratitude and simplicity. Abundance flows best when you focus on joy, not just numbers. Let money support your happiness—not define it.
Perhaps you’re not being seen for your true worth, or you feel burnt out. Step back, reconnect to your passion, and seek environments that let you shine. You don’t need to force your light—it simply needs room to breathe.
You are the light you’ve been waiting for. Shine without apology.
