Sun Tarot Card Meanings
UPRIGHT: Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality
Upright Sun
The Sun represents success, radiance and abundance. The Sun gives you strength and tells you that no matter where you go or what you do, your positive and radiant energy will follow you and bring you happiness and joy. People are drawn to you because you can always see the bright side and bring such warmth into other people’s lives. This beautiful, warm energy is what will get you through the tough times and help you succeed. You are also in a position where you can share your highest qualities and achievements with others. Radiate who you are and what you stand for; shine your love on those you care about.
If you are going through a difficult time, the Sun brings you the message you have been waiting for: that things will get better, a lot better! Through the challenges along your path, you discovered who you are and why you’re here. Now you are full of energy and zeal for the future and can already perceive success and abundance flowing to you. You are brimming with confidence because you know everything will work out – it always does! Life is good!
The Sun connects you to your power base – not fear-driven, egotistical power, but the abundant, inner energy radiating through you right now. You’ll sense it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself authentically and be fully present in the world around you. You have what others want and are being asked to radiate your energy and your gifts out into the world in a big way. Tap into your power and use your Divine will to express that power in positive ways.
The Sun is also an energetic card. It reflects a time when you can expect to experience an increase in physical energy, vitality and general positivity. You are bursting with enthusiasm, invigorated and enjoying a wonderful sense of good health.
Upright Love Meaning:
Happiness and love in relationship, positivity is attractive, feeling radiant

There is happiness, celebration, and fulfillment in this card. Your relationship can be blossoming under this light, bringing the two of you closer together as you enjoy life’s blessings. There is likely harmony now, and you can use this time to create an even closer connection with your loved one. Should you be single, now is also the time to step out and let yourself shine. Your positivity and radiance can be magnetic now, and draw you the kind of romance that you’ve dreamed of.
Upright Career Meaning:
Enthusiastic and energetic at work, successful work projects
When it comes to your career, the Sun brings success, optimism and joy wherever it shines. You may be experiencing a period of great enthusiasm, motivation and happiness when it comes to your job right now. Your career may feel both spiritually and materially fulfilling. This happiness and positivity can be radiant now; your happiness may create a wonderful environment for your colleagues and those you surround yourself with. If you’re going through the process of searching for a new job or a promotion, your continued positivity will bring you success in your career goals.
Upright Finances Meaning:
Strong financial situation
Your financial situation may be comfortable and rewarding right now. The Sun suggests a level of gratitude, abundance and happiness, and this is no different within the context of a financial tarot reading. The sun also shines light on things, making them visible and out in the open. If there have been any hidden factors related to your finances, they can be revealed now.
Reversed Sun Tarot Card Meanings
REVERSED: Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic
Reversed Sun
The reversed Sun is calling to your inner child to come out and play! As adults, we get so lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life that we forget how to have fun. But spend just a few minutes watching a kid play, and you realise how wonderful and carefree life can be when you learn to let go of your worries and concerns. When you see the Sun reversed in your Tarot reading, see it as your permission slip to leave behind your work and responsibilities, even just for a moment, and play. Dance like no-one is watching, sing like no-one is listening, and let your heart and soul fly free.
The Sun reversed can mean you are struggling to see the bright side of life. You may have experienced setbacks that damaged your enthusiasm and optimism and perhaps led you to question whether you can achieve what you set out to do. You may feel depressed or left out and are no longer enjoying what you are doing. Your direction and path ahead may appear clouded or distorted.
Nonetheless, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only temporary. The obstacles you see can be easily removed if you put your mind to it. It may just take a bit more effort than usual.
On the other hand, you may be too confident or overly optimistic. While you are confident, you may have become egotistical and out of touch with what you can achieve. Are you truthful to yourself and others? Or, are you trying to talk yourself up when you know you cannot deliver? If this resonates with you, then ask others for feedback and a reality check. Are you unrealistic? Is what you have set out to achieve achievable? Are you really as good as you think you are?
Reversed Love Meaning:
Boredom, taking love for granted, being unable to see happiness in relationship
The Sun still shines, though it may be temporarily blocked out by the clouds right now. If you’re in a relationship, you may be feeling bored, even though everything is going swimmingly. Are you taking your relationship for granted? Have you and your partner drifted apart due to daily routines and mundane tasks? It’s likely that the two of you need a little more quality time together to rekindle your romance. The Sun is always a positive card, whether upright or reversed; but reversed it usually means that something prevents you from seeing the wonderful things that you already have. What about your partner did you fall in love with? What can you be thankful for in your relationship?
Reversed Career Meaning:
Failure to appreciate work, over-confidence at work situations, unrealistic beliefs
Even when the Sun is reversed, it suggests pleasant things; but perhaps clouded by one’s inability to appreciate and see what is truly there. If you’ve been glum, depressed or pessimistic about what you have at work, the Sun suggests that you need only to peel back the clouds and see what happiness you already have. Feeling drained and exhausted? Your work environment may be very supportive of you getting the rest you need. Perhaps you feel you aren’t being paid enough? Bringing superiors to attention in this matter can get you the raise you deserve. Don’t let your negativity close doors to you taking decisive action and improving the situation. Sometimes, this card can also suggest over-confidence, or unrealistic expectations when it comes to your ambitions. Make sure that you are practical about what you can achieve at this time.
Reversed Finances Meaning:
Overly optimistic about finances, hardships are only temporary
Reversed, the Sun can suggest that your worries about your financial matters may be short-lived, and perhaps less serious than you imagined they would be. Alternatively, take care that the decisions that you’re making now regarding your finances are well-researched and founded in sound logic. The reversed Sun can signal being overly optimistic and unrealistic. Temper your expectations, but remain hopeful.
