19-The Sun – Reversed Golden Deck

When reversed, the Sun is still a positive card but presumably to a lesser degree. It may be that something is blocking you from fully experiencing the joy and clarity that is possible at this time. Perhaps your inflated ego is getting in the way; excessive pride is one of the faults of the sign Leo. You may not get the standing ovation you were hoping for.

Keywords Reversed: A lesser degree of the above; also pride, smugness, vanity, egotism, arrogance, unrealistic ambitions, megalomania, delayed success, lack of appreciation.

Key XIX: The Sun
Myths/Archetypes: The Egyptian god Amun-Ra. The Sun god. Apollo. Logos.
Astrology: the Sun (ruler of the Fire sign Leo)
Numerology: 1 (Magician) = 1 + 0 (Wheel of Fortune) = 1 + 9 (the Sun)

Mathers: Happiness, contentment, joy; (R) these in a minor degree.

When The Sun is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Sun is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Sun is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: Although tarot originated as a card game and work of art for wealthy Italian families, it may have been used for a rudimentary form of divination as early as the sixteenth century. The Italian nobility of the 1500s played a game called tarrochi appropriation which players drew cards at random, using the images on those cards to inspire the writing of poetic verses about each other’s destiny. These cards were called sortes, an Italian word meaning fate, lot, destiny, or chance. Over time the tarot became a tool for divination.
