A naked child with a wreath of flowers sits without saddle or reins on a white horse and spreads its arms. In its hand it carries a long red banner waving in the wind – a sign of vitality and openly shown enthusiasm. Behind it runs a grey wall, over which four sunflowers stretch their heads. The wall marks a protected garden: here you may play because you feel safe. Above everything stands the sun with a human face, whose rays are alternately straight and wavy, expressing clear thinking and warm feeling at the same time. The child stands for a new beginning without baggage and for the innocence of a gaze that does not yet judge. That it rides without reins shows trust in its own strength. According to the Golden Dawn attribution the card corresponds to the celestial body itself, the Sun. In astrology it is the centre of the chart, a symbol of identity, vitality and what a person wants to bring to light from within. After the twilight of the Moon, this card brings everything into the light of day.",{"heading":34,"body":35},"As a birth card","Whoever has The Sun as a birth card has a special constellation: nineteen is the only number that needs two steps to reach its root. 1 + 9 becomes 10, Wheel of Fortune, and 1 + 0 becomes 1, The Magician. The Sun shapes your manner; the Wheel and the Magician work as soul cards in the background. You radiate optimism and warmth, experience yourself as part of larger connections and at the same time have the talent to put ideas into action. Many with this combination strike others as an engine that joins good mood and drive. At work you blossom when you are allowed to be visible: in leadership, presenting, creative professions, working with children or wherever enthusiasm is catching. In relationships you give warmth and generosity and wish for a partner who rejoices with you instead of keeping you small.",{"heading":37,"body":38},"As a year card","A Sun year asks what truly brings you joy – not as a reward after work is done, but as part of everyday life. When did you last feel alive, and what were you doing at the time? The card prompts you to show yourself: present your own projects, make talents visible, speak your mind. Play, exercise in the fresh air and time with people who make you laugh are part of the theme too. At the same time you may check where you put on an act to please others. The Sun year lives on authenticity. Resolve to do something regularly just because it makes you happy, and observe how that affects your energy.",{"heading":40,"body":41},"Light & Shadow","In the light The Sun embodies warmth of heart, self-confidence and a clarity that gives others orientation. You can brighten rooms and give people the feeling of being welcome. Your optimism is genuine, not put on. But even the brightest card casts a shadow. It can show as a need for admiration or as a tendency to smile away unpleasant feelings. Sometimes your presence outshines the voices of the quieter ones without you noticing. The challenge is to leave room for doubt and sadness too – in yourself and in others. Real warmth shows not in always being in a good mood but in staying attentive on grey days too.",[43,46,49,52],{"q":44,"a":45},"Why does The Sun as a birth card have three cards?","The 19 reduces in two steps: 1 + 9 gives 10, and 1 + 0 gives 1. That is why Wheel of Fortune and The Magician belong to it as soul cards. It is the only chain of three among the birth cards. This chain describes a person who radiates joy in life, accepts changes as part of life and can use their abilities purposefully.",{"q":47,"a":48},"Is The Sun the best card in Tarot?","Many feel The Sun is the friendliest card because its image seems so unambiguously positive. But there is no ranking in Tarot. Every card has strengths and tasks. With the Sun they consist in joining your own radiance with empathy and taking the quieter sides of life seriously too.",{"q":50,"a":51},"What does the child on the horse mean?","The child stands for an unselfconscious, open view of the world and for the joy that arises without reason. The white horse embodies strength in harmony with its rider – which is why it needs neither saddle nor reins. Together they tell of trusting life and showing yourself with your own liveliness.",{"q":53,"a":54},"What links the card with the Sun in the birth chart?","In the birth chart the Sun shows the core of the personality, the will and the way a person wants to shine. The Tarot card takes up exactly these themes: identity, self-expression and vitality. Whoever is interested in both systems can read the Sun card as an image of their own Sun sign.","\u002Fen\u002Ftarot\u002Fcards\u002Fthe-sun\u002F",[57,60,63],{"title":58,"path":59},"Sun","\u002Fen\u002Fplanets\u002Fsun\u002F",{"title":61,"path":62},"The Magician","\u002Fen\u002Ftarot\u002Fcards\u002Fthe-magician\u002F",{"title":64,"path":65},"Wheel of Fortune","\u002Fen\u002Ftarot\u002Fcards\u002Fwheel-of-fortune\u002F",1793051121708]
