Description
The Sun is one of the most joyful and encouraging cards in the Major Arcana. It shines a warm light on your path, bringing immense happiness, positive energy, and success. Symbolically, this card represents clarity and truth, washing away all doubt. When it appears, you are entering a period of growth and vitality, where you feel confident and truly alive. However, even the brightest sun can be blocked by clouds. When reversed, the card suggests temporary sadness, small problems, or a lack of confidence. You might feel drained of your usual energy, but this is only a brief phase. The sun is still there, and your joy will soon return.
