The Sun
The Sun embodies clarity, celebration, and the joy of being fully seen, symbolizing success, vitality, and creativity. It encourages a bright, undeniable truth but also warns against excessive optimism and unchecked ego. When its energy is balanced, happiness arises from openness and honest strides. This card reminds us to express ourselves wholeheartedly while tempering exuberance with humility to ensure the light nurtures rather than scorches.

Visual Description
A young child rides a white horse through a field of large sunflowers beneath a swirling, luminous sky. The child holds a large red banner aloft while a brilliant sun blazes behind them, framed by a decorative cartouche reading 'XIX' at the top. The scene is energetic and full of motion, with green and yellow waves of color in the background and sunflower heads turned toward the light. At the bottom a label in Cyrillic reads 'СОЛНЦЕ'.
Meaning
Sunlight washes over the field as the child rides forward, flag snapping, the whole world feeling warm and easy; the image tells of clarity, celebration, and the simple pleasure of being fully seen. You can almost feel the heat on your skin and the scent of sunflower pollen as layers of doubt lift and small triumphs become luminous facts. Joy here arrives like a bright, undeniable truth: success, vitality, creativity, and a sense that obstacles shrink in the glare. At the same time the radiance warns against blinding optimism or ego unchecked — too much confidence can cast a glare that hides minor problems rather than solving them. When the card's energy is clouded, the same sun may reveal insecurities that have been polished over, or joy that feels hollow because it's pushed without rest. The horse's steady pace and the child's clear gaze remind you that genuine happiness grows from openness and honest stride, not from forcing brightness. Let this scene encourage wholehearted expression and recovery of appetite for life, while remembering to temper exuberance with humility so the light nurtures rather than scorches.
