The Sun
The Card
A naked child rides a white horse beneath a blazing sun, arms outstretched, surrounded by sunflowers. The child is free, joyful, and fully present. There are no shadows here — the sun casts light evenly on everything.
Symbolism
The child represents the enlightened consciousness: innocent, free, unencumbered. The white horse is the pure, controlled will. Sunflowers face the sun — consciousness aligned with its source. The red banner is victory.
Radiance and joy. The Sun is one of the most unambiguously positive cards in the deck. Clarity has arrived — things are seen as they are, and they are good. Success, vitality, and the warmth of being fully alive.
Temporary setbacks, excessive optimism, clouded joy. The sun is behind clouds but still there.
