SUN DESCRIPTION
Under a cloudless sky filled with a radiant, watchful Sun, a crowned child sits bareback on a white horse in the Sun Tarot card. The child is holding a bright orange standard, like the sunflowers, symbolizing wealth and happiness, admire him from behind the safety of a tall, grey wall.
Combining martial red and airy/solar yellow, the orange on the banner of the Sun Tarot represents the Sun’s life-giving energy. The huge Sun, from which the Sun card receives its name, is a symbol of deity and the clear blue sky, in a cosmic “green light.”
Talk about bareback. Apart from the crown on his head, the kid is completely in the buff. And he is not the least bit ashamed. The child of the Sun Tarot card symbolizes new life. His crown shows his power. It’s topped with a feather plume, suggesting vanity.
Nudity symbolizes innocence and freedom from attachment. His posture in the Sun card implies that he is very pleased with himself – and wants the whole world to know it, too.
The white horse in the Sun card, another symbol of power, may currently seem at rest, but the standard in the boy’s hand is in constant motion. The Sun Tarot card is associated with the Hebrew letter Resh. It represents the energy flow between the lunar, intuitive consciousness and intellectual understanding.

General: Things, in general, are very likely to be going very well for you.

On the whole, your work is stable and moving towards new opportunities and improvements.
Love: This is a time if you are in a committed relationship, when both you and your beloved may be in more than the usual need of space. This is not a time to be whiny, clingy, or needy. If you're looking for love - it definitely could be on the horizon for you.
Finances: Money is likely to be much better than usual. Still, hold on to some for unexpected expenses. If you've been waiting on a decision to be made by others it means you won't have to wait much longer and that the decision is very likely to be in your favour.
Health: Your health and feelings of well-being should be at a high point. This is a great time to take some time off if you can and just enjoy life. This is partly mental as well as physical - if you look back you are likely to find that your attitude has been more positive of late too. This can directly affect how well your body works for you. Figure out what you've been doing right and build upon it.
