The Sun
The Sun heralds vitality, clarity, and joyful success, illuminating efforts so truth and recognition become visible. In this Slavic-styled depiction the crowned bearer of the sun wheel blesses fields and families, emphasizing play, innocence, and the healing power of simple joy. Upright, it signals confidence returning, plans ripening, and partnerships brightening when you lead with openness and honesty. Reversed, its light is dimmed by fatigue, overexposure, or inflated ego, advising rest, modesty, and recalibration rather than grand declarations. Ultimately, it urges shedding layers, speaking plainly, and following the inner child toward honest growth and visibility.

Visual Description
A central figure stands among white clouds, framed by a blazing sun disk whose golden rays fill the sky. The figure wears a white embroidered tunic, an antlered crown, and holds a belt or scepter shaped like a sun wheel. Around them appear a gray-bearded elder with a staff, a bearded man, a young woman, and a small child, all in similar folk garments. Below, a lush green landscape spreads with rolling hills, a winding river, a pair of trees, and distant mountains. The card title 'THE SUN' is written at the bottom.
Meaning
The Sun opens like a festival day: warmth, clarity, and simple happiness spill across the path. In this Slavic-styled image, the crowned bearer of the sun wheel (kolovrat) recalls Dazhbog or Yarilo, blessing fields and families, and the message is the classic RWS promise of vitality, success, and visibility. Upright, your efforts stand in the full light, truth becomes obvious, and confidence returns; children, play, and honest joy heal what has been heavy. Partnerships brighten, recognition arrives, and plans ripen quickly, especially when you lead with openness. The card also encourages shedding layers—speak plainly, show your work, and trust that abundance grows where you warm it. Reversed, the light is still present but clouds interfere: fatigue, overexposure, or inflated ego can cause glare and missteps. Delay grand declarations, rest, and let the heart play without performance; joy should be shared, not forced. Correct small misunderstandings with transparency, recalibrate timelines, and the Sun will break through again. This is a season to grow toward what is alive, to stand where you can be seen, and to remember that the child inside you is the surest guide to the open road.
