The Tarot Sun Traditional Meanings

 

On a positive note, the Sun means a delicious moment of self-contentment, activities with children, enjoying the Sun, God is looking out for you, good news, a scholarly examination passed (or some other type of exam or test), or far more recognition than you expect (or expected). 

When reversed, the Star can mean a gloomy attitude (feeling distraught), pessimistic thoughts and verbalizations, lack of faith, and doubt.

There's a need to turn your face toward the Sun (son) and brighter thoughts. Expect victory and spend some time playing, especially outdoors, lest you become pessimistic and depressed. God loves you.

 

The Tarot Sun Biblical Meanings

 

The Tarot Sun represents Jesus as the "Son" (the light of the World) radiating through you and filling you with endless joy. Divinity isn't just God's radiance from without, but God's light radiating from within that shines a joyful light on others. It goes both ways, which is the true union of God and people. In this union, we know true freedom and abundance.

Psalm 84:11 – The Lord God is a sun and shield.

 

The Tarot Sun in Health Readings

 

Overdoing or overexertion can cause heat stress or burnout.

Needing some sunlight (especially during winter months when you can be affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder), fresh air, and warmer temperatures; but when this card is reversed, it can mean low energy levels and fatigue, adrenal burnout, headache, sunstroke, sunburn (or another burn), or a fall, a fever, Cancer of the skin, or vitamin D deficiency. Overall health is quite good, and if you are ill, you will recover.

Electrolytes, hibiscus, and cooling foods may help.

Note: Holistic alternatives for most of the conditions listed above can be found here.
