The Tarot Cards of the Major Arcana

The Sun Tarot Card

The Sun
Tarot Card Number 19 of the Major Arcana
A naked child is mounted on a white horse and displaying a red standard is the destiny of the supernatural east and the great and holy light which goes before the endless procession of humanity, coming out from the walled garden of the sensitive life and passing on the journey home. The card signifies the transit from the manifest light of this world, represented by the glorious sun of earth, to the light of the world to come, which goes before aspiration and is typified by the heart of a child.

But the last allusion is again the key to a different form or aspect of the symbolism. The sun is the consciousness in the spirit – the antithesis of the reflected light. The child is the simplicity and innocence of wisdom. In that simplicity, he bears the seal of aature and of art; in that innocence, he signifies the restored world. When the self-knowing spirit has dawned in the consciousness above the natural mind, that mind in its renewal leads forth the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity.
The Sun card symbolizes material happiness, fortunate marriage, and contentment.
