The Sun Card Meaning
Rider-Waite tarot
The card's advice: Don't keep your success in the shadows; today, treat even a small win as something worth celebrating.
The Sun Card Upright Meaning
The Sun is one of the most positive cards in the deck, representing pure joy, vitality and clear success. You're in a period when the clouds have fully cleared and everything looks bright and certain. This card heralds that your efforts will be rewarded in the most radiant way, and that your inner child's joy is coming back to life.
The Sun Reversed Meaning
The Sun reversed describes a passing pessimism, or a situation in which your inner joy has clouded over. Even if everything is actually going well, you may not feel fully happy. It may feel as though your expectations haven't been met, but this is only a temporary shadow; the sun is still there behind the clouds.
The Sun Card in Love
Your relationship is shining, with happiness, playfulness and shared delight at their peak. This is a time to celebrate together: a holiday, a beautiful memory or simply time spent with each other that feels full and easy. If you're single, this card shows you'll attract a wonderful connection with your joyful, open energy.
The Sun Card Career & Money Meaning
Your efforts are finally becoming visible and producing brilliant results: a success, recognition or a development that goes better than expected is on its way. Expressing yourself with confidence and openness now will make opportunities flow toward you. Your energy is contagious and motivates everyone around you.
