The Sun Tarot Card Meaning
Joy, vitality, and clarity
By Marie Mystic
The Sun Upright Meaning
The Sun blazes above a joyful child on a white horse, with sunflowers behind. Upright, it is one of the brightest cards in the deck, standing for joy, vitality, clarity and success. Things become visible and warmth returns. Enjoy what is going well, let yourself be seen and share your good energy with others.
The Sun Reversed Meaning
Reversed, The Sun can suggest dimmed joy, delayed good news or optimism that is hard to feel right now. The light has not gone out, only clouded for a while. Look for small sources of warmth and avoid assuming the worst. Enthusiasm tends to return when you give yourself simple pleasures.
The Sun Card Combinations
With The Moon, uncertainty gives way to clarity. With The Star, hope turns into joy. Beside the Ten of Cups, happiness extends to home and family. Next to the Ten of Wands, success may bring responsibility along with the celebration.
