21. The Golden Hour

THE GREAT CENTRAL SUN; TRANSMUTING BLOCKAGES; POSITIVE OMENS; CIRCADIAN RHYTHM; SUPPORT

I am ready to replenish the sunlight of my heart. I am making time for my own renewal.

The sun, our nearest and brightest star, is a powerful and energizing sight to behold. The worship of its light was one of the earliest forms of spiritual expression, celebrating the sun as a source of life and deep replenishment. This glowing ball of fire has been known by many names and has also been revered as Supreme among the celestial bodies. It has been considered a vortex, a galactic portal, the breather of life, and a God of the cosmos. Across the sands of time and throughout wisdom traditions, temples, altars, and sacred sites have been built in devotion to its presence.

The Golden Hour is a card of replenishment and bliss. It taps into the majestic nature of the sun, sourcing its warmth from that time of day just before sunset, when the world is bathed in liquid gold. Perhaps you've spent time basking in this light? During the long, balmy hours of summer, the Golden Hour is often a soothing conclusion to the day, bridging the edge of twilight into dusk. It also marks the brink of early morning, just after the sun has crossed above the horizon.

In this image, you are invited to enter this rejuvenating time and take a sweet interlude with the sunlight of your days. Share a moment with the light, even if you are in the midst of winter or fall—either in the morning or just before sunset. This small move can help consciously link your body further with the cycles of Nature, activating more harmony with the unfolding of your days. As you take a moment to pause with the sun, imagine its warmth untangling any tightly bound energies within you. A dose of sunshine can boost your body's serotonin, a chemical that improves mood, promotes happiness, and helps you stay focused and calm. It is also a natural aid to our parasympathetic nervous system, which supports the flow of our sleep and circadian rhythm—which is another term for our biological clock.

This card comes as a positive omen for transmuting any negativity into positivity and for reinvigorating the abundance of warmth in your life. If you have been through a time of worry or turmoil, know that you are coming out of the darkness and into the light. The sun gives you strength as an outpouring of renewal and hope—and arrives as a celebrated message to receive. It is a symbol that also magnifies your creativity and inspires positive manifestation so that you can truly live life to the fullest! This is a key of energizing love and total bliss. It also defines a wonderful time to rejoice in the company of soulmates, friends, and loved ones!
