A Radiant Beacon of Truth and Joy

The Sun

The Sun is one of the most uplifting and positive cards in the tarot deck, symbolizing clarity, success, vitality, and childlike joy. When it appears in a reading, it brings a message of illumination and truth—what was once hidden is now revealed in the full light of day. In the Rider-Waite deck, the image of a child riding a white horse under a shining sun evokes innocence, freedom, and a return to the self’s purest essence. It's a reminder that we are most powerful when we are authentic, open-hearted, and aligned with our truth.

Astrologically associated with the sign of Leo and ruled by the Sun itself, this card speaks to themes of self-expression, creativity, and confidence. It encourages us to step into our light, not with arrogance, but with the trust that our unique energy contributes something beautiful to the world. In July—when the sun is literally at its strongest—this card reminds us to celebrate our accomplishments, nourish our bodies and spirits, and share our joy generously with others. It is a time to bask in the warmth of our own becoming.

Yet The Sun also invites reflection: what areas of your life need more light? Where might you be dimming yourself out of fear or doubt? This card encourages us not only to celebrate our radiance but to examine what might still be hiding in the shadows. True joy, after all, is not just about happiness—it’s about living in alignment, with nothing to hide and everything to embrace. When The Sun shines in your reading, take it as a powerful affirmation that you are on the right path, and the universe is supporting your growth.
