20- The Sun
On Hope and Playfulness
The Sun card radiates warmth, joy, and positivity, depicted by two playful puppies frolicking in a field of wildflowers under the golden light of the Sun. It is a card of innocence, vitality, and connection, serving as a gentle yet powerful reminder of the life-giving force of our star. In its embrace, we are encouraged to cast aside fear and sorrow, bask in the moment, and share light with those around us. The Sun tells us that everything is, or soon will be, okay—its love is steadfast and unwavering, a reminder to nurture and cherish ourselves and others with the same boundless warmth.
The Sun card invites you to step into the light, both literally and metaphorically. It encourages you to share your warmth, love, and joy freely, illuminating the lives of others as you bask in your own radiance. When you embody the Sun’s energy, you reflect its power to sustain life, nurture growth, and inspire hope.
If you’re feeling blocked:
The Sun encourages you to let go of self-doubt and pessimism. Are you overburdened by responsibilities, forgetting to take time for joy? Or are you struggling to connect with others because of a heavy heart? Return to the innocence of play, the wonder of being in the present moment. Let the Sun be a reminder that happiness often comes from the simplest things—a shared laugh, a moment in nature, or even a quiet appreciation of beauty.
Reflection questions:
What brings you pure, unfiltered joy?
When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly play?
How can you share your light with others today?
Creativity exercises:
Color A Sunrise: Close your eyes and imagine the most beautiful sunrise you’ve ever seen. Recreate it as best as you can.
