Just as the moon is the root symbol of the feminine, so the sun is the root symbol of the male. Here in card nineteen we see The Sun in full splendour, and in many early Tarot packs its radiance falls upon a man and a woman (or Gemini, the Twins) in each other's arms. Full union has taken place, and the two have become one. The sense of alienation, separation and fragmentation which lies at the heart of human unease has disappeared at last.

However, the quester's journey is never-ending. The sun rises each morning. The cycle of life is eternal. Beyond the level reached in The Sun there are other levels to be traversed, high above human comprehension. For the moment, though, this is a pause. We can savour the triumph of the spirit.

There is a wall behind the figures which does not appear in all packs, but which provides some shade from the sun. The figures are facing away from the sun, as we are not yet ready to look fully into the face of ultimate reality. We are still, even at this stage, separate from it, and its full majesty would overpower us.

Divinatory Meaning: Success, achievement, triumph over odds, safety after peril, a just reward.

Reversed: misjudgement, illusory success, exposure of success obtained by dubious means.
