The Sun
From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black

The Sun

Meanings

It’s a beautiful day. Great joy, spiritual and material success. As you reap this bountiful harvest, however, take care to put stocks aside for leaner times.

Reversed (?)

Don’t get burned. This is a time of success, but do not take it for granted. A harvest hoarded can soon be spoiled, and too much sun can be fatal. Share your good fortune.

Description

A smiling toddler rides a white horse within a walled garden. The sun shines and sunflowers bloom within the garden.
