Weekly Tarot Insight
The Sun
This week, the radiant energy of the Sun card envelops you with its warmth and positivity. As the sun shines brightly in the sky, so too will your life be illuminated with joy, success, and abundance.
The origins of tarot cards are somewhat mysterious, but I believe them to have emerged during the 15th century in Italy, with roots in earlier card games. The imagery and symbolism of the Sun card have evolved over time, but its core representation of the sun’s energy and brightness has remained consistent.
​
In the Rider-Waite tarot deck, one of the most widely used and influential tarot decks, the Sun card features a large, radiant sun shining in a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there are often two young, naked children dancing or playing, representing innocence and pure joy. The children are typically surrounded by sunflowers, symbolising life, fertility, and happiness. The overall imagery evokes a sense of warmth, happiness, and a bright future.
​
The Sun card is associated with the astrological sign of Leo, which is ruled by the sun. Leo is known for its enthusiastic, creative, and optimistic qualities, which align with the essence of the Sun card.
