The Sun
Light
your fire
““They say the Sun is also a star,
but to those on Earth it is so much more.
Its light and warmth
are close enough to reach out and feel.
It is the monarch of the morning,
and the herald of a new day.
It ignites a once empty horizon,
and calls you to wake up
so you too can rise
and set the world on fire.”
”
The figure of a child emerges out of the sunlight. Their pose mirrors that of the naive innocence of Fool trying to fly, but this figure has the wings of triumph and is moving forward with confidence instead of ignorance. Four sunflowers reach up towards them, representing the four elements and four suits. In the Hermetic Tarot, this card is known as the “Lord of the Fire of the World.”
This card is ruled by the energy of The Sun.
In a reading, The Sun is a very optimistic and positive card. It represents radiant energy, vitality, and youthful exuberance. It is a messenger of success and the light at the end of the tunnel. You may reach a certain point of awareness and enlightenment that makes you feel more confident about your place in the world.
The reversed may indicate a need to reconnect to your inner-child or childlike enthusiasm. You may be struggling to see the bright side of a situation, but the dark clouds are only temporary. On the other hand, you may need a dose of reality if you have a tendency to be overconfident or overly optimistic.
