Upright, in more depth
The upright Sun is full of joy, success and bright energy. Work you have put effort into leads to good results, and your skills and charm show naturally in front of others. Presentations, teamwork and new meetings all tend to go smoothly. Above all, this card tells you to enjoy this moment. Take a sunny walk at lunch or spend the evening laughing with people you like. A bright heart draws the next good thing in. When you share joy, its energy comes back to you.
Reversed, in more depth
Reversed, the Sun suggests good energy is there but slightly hidden behind clouds. Results may not show up as fast as you hoped, or you may be too tired to feel joy. On the flip side, excitement can make you overconfident and miss small mistakes. The sun has not gone away, it is just covered for a while. Rest well and start with small joys and things will brighten again. Before celebrating a result, double-check the finishing touches. Getting your brightness back often takes a little sunshine more than anything grand.
