XIX · Major Arcana
The Sun
Upright
joy, clarity, vitality, success
A child rides a white horse under a sun with a human face, and nothing is hidden. This is the deck's most straightforwardly good card: warmth, health, plain success, and the specific relief of a thing finally being simple. Upright, it says say yes. Whatever was obscured is now lit, and the happiness available here is not naive — it is earned and it is allowed.
Reversed
dimmed joy, delay, forced optimism
Reversed, the sun is still up but something is between you and it. This might be a good thing arriving late, or a genuine success you cannot feel. It also catches the performance of fine — brightness worn on the outside while the inside is somewhere else. The card asks what is casting the shadow, since the light itself has not gone anywhere.
Every draw here is a real quantum draw — The Sun is one of the 78 you might get, and a friend of your choosing reads it aloud.
