Success, Security, and Happiness

The Sun card signifies success, security, and happiness. Here, the joy of achievements is reflected in material and physical well-being. The sunlight energizes and emits prosperity and contentment, its life-giving force bringing joy and ensuring success.

Effort and Reward

However, the arcana does not speak of easy and undeserved wealth and happiness, but of benefits resulting from well-executed work. Even in a reversed position, the power of the Sun remains and, for example, if it concerns an excess of optimism, the card suggests that with effort, goals can still be achieved. The Sun encourages hard work and efforts invested in achieving desired results.

Support and Expression

The Sun expresses support and promotes achievements, especially when there is self-expression in any field, from painting to scientific research. This, in turn, affects self-esteem, and the card may speak of recognition, career promotion, or achievement of set goals.

Symbolism of the Sun

Golden fields of ripe wheat demonstrate the fruits of well-done hard work, giving a sense of pride and satisfaction. The cozy homestead creates an atmosphere of harmony, comfort, and contentment. The grain is filled with the sun's energy, as life fills with spiritual satisfaction, while the mother goddess prepares for the first harvest at Lughnasadh, marking the start of the harvest season lasting until mid-autumn. Even in the modern world, the harvest is a community affair, often accompanied by fairs and contests of skill and strength. Thus, the card shows that friendship and joint effort bring success, love, joy, happiness, and prosperity.

Positive Omens

As a very favorable card, the Sun may indicate marriage, which can be further suggested by surrounding cards in the spread, such as the Two of Cups, Three of Cups, Four of Wands, or hint at pregnancy when combined with the Mother Goddess, Ace of Cups, or Three of Cups.

Precursors of Joy

Near the house, an abundance of sunflowers grow, foretelling happiness, joy, well-being, and harmony. The golden eagle, a symbol of success and achievements, soars over the house in the sunlit sky.
