The Sun
An enormous sun with a serene face beams over a garden wall lined with sunflowers. A naked child rides a white horse in the foreground, arms wide, carrying a huge red banner that streams behind.
★ Upright
The Sun is the deck's least complicated yes. Upright, it radiates success, vitality, clarity, and the kind of joy that doesn't need explaining — good news, good health, work that finally shines in full view. Whatever was hidden in the Moon's fog stands revealed and it is better than you feared. Say yes and mean it.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the sun still shines but something is shading it — dampened enthusiasm, delayed success, or a sulking refusal to enjoy what is plainly good. The inversion is rarely disaster; it is usually a curtain you are holding closed. Open it.
