What does The Sun Tarot card mean?

Learn the meaning of The Sun Tarot card in under a minute!


The Sun Upright Meaning

The Sun card is about the self -- who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The Sun's radiance is where one's original nature can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls. Under the light of the Sun, life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth, and beauty. If one person is shown on this card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It's as if this card is saying "You can do no wrong -- it's all to the good!"

The Sun Reversed Meaning

The Sun card reversed suggests that this is one of two cards that traditionally have no negative meaning. Perhaps you will choose to take extra care to humbly count your blessings and give credit to all that have contributed to your successes.

Perhaps you can create a program of giving, volunteering or bringing as many people into your good fortune as you sensibly can. Satisfy your conscience that you are a wise steward of your good fortune.

The Sun Advice Position

The Sun card advises you to have confidence in your natural divinity. Throw off any cultural conditioning that keeps you from being authentic with yourself. Step into the full light of truth and reveal your motives and principles. Once done, you will no longer give away power to the people that criticize and shame you. Focus on the positive and the real. Your authentic shining self can be a light for others if you project it without contrivance.

The Sun Love Position

The Sun in this position symbolizes a return to Eden, a return to your original nature. This is the card of the person who is expressing the highest creativity and doing her or his best work.

Your motives, outlook, beliefs and relationship goals are all synchronized. There are no hidden motives, nagging doubts or fear of the outcome. Relax, look around and enjoy the wonderful view from the center of your universe.

The Sun Career Position

When the Sun is in this position, you are in charmed company as a valued member of a creative, progressive work team. This is an exciting time in your life. The fascinating and challenging projects coming your way may elicit some of your best work. You are really motivated to shine on the job.

This is one of those periods when the boundaries between work and play tend to disappear. Enjoy this time for as long as it lasts.

The Sun in a Yes or No Card Reading

The Sun is a card of understanding and enthusiasm. If you're looking for simple Yes or No guidance and receive The Sun, the answer is YES. Go into your next steps with eyes wide open.
