Interactive Tarot Online Reading for The Sun

Your Chosen Card – The Sun Upright Golden Deck

When upright, the Sun is a positive card that typically symbolizes a period of success, achievement, recognition, warmth, happiness, popularity, and contentment. Health improves and personal relationships prosper. Work situations and new ventures go well. Because of the Suns connection with Leo and the fifth house of the natural zodiac, modern astrologers believe that this card can also signify romance, marriage, creative self-expression, the birth of children, or other matters related to offspring. Now is a time of clarity, illumination, and enlightenment. Ponder the words of the bard: ‘How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world’ (William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, 1600).

Keywords Upright: Success, attainment, optimism, illumination, joy, ovation, recognition, vitality, achievement, good health, sunshine, healing, positive energy, youthful vigor, warmth, happiness, contentment, clear vision, consciousness, daylight, the bright side, brilliance, exultation, clarity, radiance, lucidity, transparency, enlightenment, childlike delight, justice tempered with mercy; ‘a good deed in a weary world.’

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: My interest in astrology was sparked in the late 1950s when my father put a dime into a machine at an amusement park to purchase his sun sign horoscope. The accuracy of the report was astounding. How could a machine know so much about my father? I had to find out, so I went to the library and began to read every book I could find about astrology. Before long I was casting charts and making predictions for family and friends. Astrology appeared to have some validity, but I couldnt explain how it worked scientifically. I was also a budding scientist at the time and loved reading books about the natural sciences.

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: According to the Golden Dawn, several major arcana cards are associated with the element Fire and the suit of Wands. These include:

Portable Magic: All the traditional planets rule two signs each, except for the Sun and the Moon, which each rule only one sign. The planets added to modern astrology, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, have no place in the Golden Dawn correspondences for the trumps, which are based on traditional astrology.
