The Sun Tarot Card Meaning
- joy
- success
- vitality
- enlightenment
The Sun upright
The Sun is unclouded joy. Clarity, vitality, and a childlike delight return to you. Step fully into the light — you are seen, you are warm, and the day is yours.
The Sun reversed
Reversed, The Sun can show joy eclipsed — by burnout, comparison, or a light turned inward too long. Step into the day. Your warmth is not rationed; it returns the moment you claim it.
How to read The Sun
The Sun is card XIX of the 22 Major Arcana. When a Major Arcana card appears, readers give it extra weight: it points to one of the bigger lessons or turning points of the moment.
Upright, let its keywords guide the reading: joy, success, vitality, and enlightenment.
Reversed, the same themes are usually blocked, delayed or turned inward. Read the reversed meaning above with that in mind.
