On the card
A smiling child crowned with flowers rides a white horse beneath a radiant sun with a face, carrying a large red banner, as tall sunflowers lean over a garden wall behind.
Upright
The Sun is one of the brightest cards in the deck, full of joy, warmth and simple happiness. It invites you to enjoy what is going well, to share your light and to approach life with childlike openness. Things feel clear, and contentment is close at hand.
Reversed
Reversed, the Sun still carries warmth, only a little softer or slower to arrive. Joy may be present but harder to notice, perhaps hidden behind worry or high expectations. Look for small, simple pleasures and let them count.
- Love & connection
- In love, it brings warmth, playfulness and the happiness of being openly yourself with someone who welcomes it.
- Work & purpose
- At work, it favours recognition, confidence and projects that let you shine.
- A prompt for you
- Spend a few minutes in the sunlight today, literally or in spirit.
