Origin[]
The Sun (XIX) is the nineteenth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks. It is commonly associated with joy, success, vitality, and illumination. The card symbolizes positivity and represents a time of clarity and personal growth.
In the Rider–Waite deck, The Sun depicts a radiant Sun shining over a naked child riding a white horse. The child represents innocence and freedom, while the horse symbolizes purity and strength. Behind them, sunflowers bloom, symbolizing growth and abundance. The imagery emphasizes happiness, clarity, and the triumph of light over darkness.
The Sun is linked to the astrological Sun, representing ego, identity, and life force. It is associated with the zodiac sign Leo, known for confidence, creativity, and generosity.
