The Sun
joy · success · vitality
↑Upright Meaning
The Sun is the most unambiguously positive card in the entire tarot deck. It radiates warmth, joy, and the simple happiness of being alive. When The Sun appears, it illuminates everything — your path is clear, your energy is high, and success is not just possible but probable. This card asks you to bask in the light, celebrate your achievements, and share your warmth with others.
↓Reversed Meaning
Even reversed, The Sun is still a positive card — but the light is dimmed. Joy may be present but muted, or you may be struggling to see the positive in your circumstances. Perhaps you are taking a good situation for granted or letting temporary clouds obscure a fundamentally bright outlook. Reconnect with what makes you genuinely happy.
