A radiant sun with a face shines over a walled garden of sunflowers; a naked child on a white horse carries a red banner.

Major Arcana · XIX

The Sun

joy · success · clarity

Warmth, vitality and clear success. Things are simple and bright; enjoy them and share them.

Love
Happiness, openness and a relationship that feels light.
Work and money
Recognition and good results; a very positive card.
Reversed
Joy muted or success delayed. The light is still there; let it in.

Tarot is a mirror for reflection, not a forecast. For timing in marriage or career, your kundli says far more.
