What does the The Sun card mean?

Upright, The Sun speaks to Joy, Clarity, Vitality. Uncomplicated good fortune. Take the win without inspecting it for traps.

What does The Sun mean reversed?

Brightness delayed, not denied. Let yourself be pleased by something small.

In love questions, The Sun describes the emotional weather rather than a verdict. Read it beside the surrounding cards and the position it landed in.

Aufrecht

Unkompliziertes Glück. Nimm den Sieg an, ohne nach Fallstricken zu suchen.

Umgekehrt

Helligkeit verzögert, nicht verwehrt. Erfreue dich an einer Kleinigkeit.

In der Liebe

In love this card asks for honesty before comfort. Joy is the theme, and it will not be negotiated away.

In Arbeit und Geld

Professionally it warns against effort spent on the wrong field. Audit before you push harder.

Der Ratschlag

Finish the thing already started before opening anything new.

“What is mine does not require force.”
