The sun is one of the few elements that is required for life. Maybe that is why so many sacred texts talk about how in the beginning, there was light. Without the sun, things would not grow. As humans, we also have a connection and need for the vitamin-D-rich light the sun gives us. Our bones would literally crumble and fail to keep us upright without the vitamins the sun provides. There is no doubt that on a cold winter’s day, seeing the sun fills one with joy, warmth, and life. However, in summer, our relationship to the sun can be a little more complicated. There are those of you who are true sun bunnies and don’t fully thrive until the heat of the sun hits your skin, and then there are those of us who prefer gentler light and find it stifling, suffocating, and confining during the summer months.
Which one of these you are will dictate the terms of your relationship with this card. The sun does not just bring warmth, however; it also brings light. It graces our lives with extended periods of illumination, times when we find ourselves out of the shadows and darkness and in the reality of the world that we have created.
Our relationships with light and heat are not one and the same. They are two very separate elements within the Sun card. I am a fan of the light and notice my moods are elevated when there are blue skies and a glowing sun; however, I am not a fan of the heat. Needless to say, this makes my personal relationship with the Sun complicated, and yours may be as well.
Regardless of your relationship with the Sun, it will magnify and heat up the cards around it, so notice what and where it shines its light. You may not want the full blast of the sun on you, but you may be grateful for the other things it brings out of the shadows. All in the sun’s path shall be blessed with light, even if they don’t want it. Take a good look around when the sun is out and see what you may have missed hiding in the dark corners and spaces of both your inner and outer worlds.
