Major Forces 20:
The Sun

The Sun card radiates pure vitality, joy, and creative optimism. Two playful puppies leap and tumble through a blooming field of wildflowers beneath the generous glow of the golden sun—a scene of unguarded delight and living presence. This card is a symbol of innocence, hope, warmth, and connection. It reminds us that joy is not a frivolous pursuit—it is sacred. In a world often shadowed by worry, pain, and pressure, The Sun emerges as a gentle but unwavering call to return to light, to remember your aliveness, and to celebrate it.

The Sun is the source of life itself. Without it, nothing can grow. Likewise, without joy, curiosity, or wonder, creativity withers. This card invites you to rekindle your connection with what truly brings you to life. It encourages spontaneity, laughter, and the kind of presence that dissolves anxiety. The puppies remind us of our inner child, unafraid to explore, to leap before thinking, to chase butterflies just because. The field of wildflowers whispers that beauty thrives where there is light and freedom. You are being called not just to find the light, but to be it. To radiate warmth for others, and to nourish yourself with the same golden love.

When The Sun appears, it’s an affirmation: you are safe to shine. You are allowed to feel good. You deserve peace, not as a reward, but as your birthright. Even if things are difficult now, this card says: better days are coming. The light has never left you—it was just hidden behind a cloud.

If You’re Feeling Blocked:

If your creative flame feels dim, The Sun may be reminding you that you're not broken, you’re just tired. Or overwhelmed. Or out of touch with your own joy. Maybe you’ve been trudging through responsibilities without pause. Maybe you’ve been weighed down by perfectionism, comparison, or world-weariness. The Sun asks: When did you last play, for no reason at all? When did you last rest in joy without guilt?

You don’t need to earn your happiness. You don’t need to justify your light. The Sun tells you to soak in pleasure like sunlight on skin—to return to the simple acts that make you feel whole. Sing, dance, doodle, stretch in a sunbeam. Write something that makes you laugh. Go outside and marvel at a bumblebee. Connect with the parts of you that are lighthearted and open-hearted, the parts you might have buried beneath survival-mode.

Creative flow thrives in warmth, not pressure. It grows in sunlight, not shadow. Even in grief or hardship, joy can exist—like a sunbeam breaking through the clouds. Let it in. Let it grow.

Ask yourself: What brings me unfiltered, uncomplicated joy? Where am I hiding my light, and why? How can I reconnect with the playful, untamed parts of myself today? Who could use a little more light—and how can I offer it? The Sun’s energy is generous, healing, and enduring. It never demands, only offers. Let it remind you that your creative soul is worthy of brightness, and that your joy is not a luxury—it’s fuel. Let yourself shine. Let yourself bloom.
