Let’s spend this summer studying The Sun card! Each entry between May and August (8 total) will feature a Sun card from a different deck along with the text the creator wrote for it. It will be interesting to see how so many people see difference aspects of this apparently simple card.

The Trick or Treat Tarot by Barbara Moore and Jonathan Hunt isn’t just for the Halloween season. These clever cards have a lot to say all year long.

19, The Sun

Most people with birthdays around Christmas don’t like it because their special day gets a little lost. But have you everheard a Halloween birthday person complain? Unlike the Christmas babies, they seem to feel like Halloween is a big ol’ party all for them.

When this card comes up, happiness is coming your way. All that talk about birthdays is because it’s a good way to explain what this card means: it feels like the best, most perfect birthday ever. This is one of the simplest of tarot cards. It represents all the sunny, uplifting emotions and experiences in life. On a less thrilling note, it can also mean clarity, so if you’ve been uncertain or lost, the Sun will burn away the clouds of confusion. Another cool thing this card does is improve and brighten all other cards around it. It gives your whole reading a little boost, like an espresso shot of joy.
