The Sun

Major Arcana — Card 19

Upright Meaning

The Sun is the most unambiguously positive card in the Major Arcana — vitality, success, joy, and clarity. Things are going well and will continue to improve. Confidence, optimism, and the warmth of genuine accomplishment radiate from this card. Children, creativity, and playful exuberance are all favored under its light.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, The Sun suggests blocked joy, temporary setbacks to success, or an ego that has grown too large. Success may be slightly delayed but is still coming. Alternatively, excessive positivity is blinding you to practical realities that need addressing.
