The Sun: tarot card meaning
joy, success, clarity
The child on the card rejoices for no reason and without permission — adult joy waits for approval; solar joy doesn't. Simple happiness only looks suspicious to those used to everything having a price; sometimes good is simply good.

The Sun is the most emphatic card in the deck: success, clarity and joy with no catch. Neighbouring cards rarely spoil it. If you were waiting for a sign that it will all go well, this is it. Its only invitation is to let yourself be joyful without waiting for “once I finally…”
How it shows up
It can be visible success in career and money — the noticeable kind. It can revolve around children: a birth, news of a pregnancy, your kids' achievements. Good news of a father, a grandfather, a protector may arrive. It can be a trip to the sea, to the south, to the sun — literal. Center stage may fall to you.
Love
It can be a bright, honest relationship — with no games or hidden meanings. There may be mutual joy visible from outside: it shows on you. In a couple — a warm stage, a possible growing of the family. For someone single: you'll be noticed — you're shining now.
Work and money
Success with recognition may arrive: the project comes to light, the merit is rewarded. Excellent financial news may come. A good time to show yourself: publish, present, take the stage.
Health
Recovery, a vital lift. Sun in the literal sense: light, the south, vitamin D. Favorable for conception and children's health.
Reversed
Joy postponed: the good arrives, but later or more modest. A temporary eclipse: tiredness dimmed the taste for life. Shadow: euphoria that misses the details — the blinding light also keeps you from seeing.
Yes or no
Yes — emphatic, no reservations; the best answer in the deck.
Timing
Soon and in plain sight; a matter of weeks.
Advice
Let yourself be joyful — don't look for a catch where there is none.
Symbolism
The naked child on the white horse, without a saddle — innocence that has already been through experience: purity of the second degree, no longer naivety. The stone wall is behind — protection is no longer needed, the child has come out of it.
