The SUN

In a reading, the SUN symbolizes escape to happier circumstances. This card radiates warmth and positivity to the other cards around it in a spread. The SUN opens your eyes to a world of clarity that the MOON threw a shadow over. It emphasizes a clear-light environment or activity during daylight.  Each day, as the sun rises, the form of the world shrouded in darkness all night becomes visible. At dawn, the growing light allows us first to see silhouettes of the shapes of matter around us and finally an elaborate world in full detail.

The SUN finds you clear and in control, able to direct your mental energy. This card develops great sensitivity toward all forms of life and expands awareness of your surroundings. The SUN can also symbolize a peaceful contentment with another person where you share a silent sympathy apart from the world. Many decks depict either a man and a woman in an ecstatic victory dance or a boy and girl holding each other under a gigantic sun. The happiness of both couples is extraordinary regardless of social chaos just over the hills. They achieve a separate love which is complete unto itself.
