Tarot for Beginners: A Guide to Psychic Tarot Reading, Real Tarot Card Meanings, and Simple Tarot Spreads (The Divination Series: Tarot, Runes and More)

by Lisa Chamberlain

The Sun is the card of enlightenment, as we are granted time to bask in the successes of our journey thus far. This card is associated with victory, achievement, and joy, as well as recuperation, vitality, and growth. It represents the dawn of a new day after the worst and darkest night, the source of life and optimism. The Sun is also associated with the dawn of the inner light of each soul on the spiritual quest. Another meaning relates to intellect, practicality, and power, as the physical sun is the source of all growth on Earth. It is said that this card has no truly severe indications—all is well, or soon will be, when The Sun appears. Upright, The Sun points to positivity, success, upcoming fun and warmth. It is time for the good things in life: love, play, rest, and bright cheer. It may also indicate children coming into your life. It is not so much about swift forward motion as it is a moment to appreciate where you are. You are still growing, and it’s important to appreciate times of rest and feelings of security. If The Sun is reversed, you may not be feeling so positive just yet. There is a sense of delay or frustration, as your goal is just out of reach. However, just as the sun goes behind the clouds, it will come out again. Be sure not to focus on the gray, as it is always temporary. Trust that the feeling of joy, success, and easy rest will come again.
