Sun - Tarot Card Description
The astrological correspondence to this card is the Sun, of course. The rune is Sigel. The Sun represents power and energy. The horse is without saddle or bridle. It is controlled without the use of the hands, either. This is a symbol of perfect control between the conscious and subconscious. The orange banner represents action and vibration. The rays of the sun represent the same thing: The straight rays are action while the wavy rays represent vibration. The banner is being held in the left hand, showing that control has passed from the conscious to the subconscious. The walled garden is the cultivated garden of mankind. He is riding away from it, leaving it behind. The sunflowers look toward him instead of to the sun for nourishment. They are seeking his wisdom. There are four sunflowers, representing the four suits of the Minor Arcana, as well as the four elements. The wreath and the feather are the same wreath and feather the Fool wears. Again, the child is naked, having nothing to hide. He has all the innocence and purity of childhood. What joys have you shared with others?The Sun is an image of optimism and fulfilment, the dawn that follows our darkest night. As the source of all life on earth, the Sun represents the blessings of divinity, the Source of Life itself. The child playing joyfully in the foreground represents the happiness of our inner spirit when we are in tune with our truest Self. The white horse upon which the child rides represents strength and purity of spirit. The sunflowers in the background represent life and the fruitfulness of the spirit under the nourishment of the Sun.
