The Sun tarot card meaning
Major Arcana · Fire · The Sun · Yes or no: yes
The Sun upright
Keywords: joy, success, vitality, clarity, warmth
This card points to warmth, confidence and simple happiness. It asks you to let yourself be seen and to enjoy what is going well. Clarity is plentiful here, and so is the energy to use it.
The Sun reversed
Keywords: dimmed joy, overconfidence, temporary cloud
Reversed, the Sun suggests joy that is harder to feel than it should be, or a brightness that has tipped into showing off. It asks you to step back into the light without needing to be the center of it. The warmth is still there.
The Sun in love
Upright: Openness, play and genuine delight in each other make this a bright season for love.
Reversed: A passing cloud or a bruised ego is dimming things, and a little humility clears it.
The Sun for career and work
Upright: Recognition and success come naturally when you let your real strengths show.
Reversed: Overpromising or a dip in energy may hold back a result that is still within reach.
