The Sun

XIX · Major Arcana

The Sun

clarityjoylightvitality

Plain joy. Let yourself be seen by it.

Upright meaning

upright · core

A child rides bareback under a beaming sun, sunflowers tall behind. The Sun is the simplest card in the deck and the one most adults forget — direct happiness, visible success, the warmth of being unhidden. The card asks you to stop apologising for what is going well.

Reversed meaning

reversed · shadow

Joy dimmed but not gone, hiding good news, false brightness covering something tender.
