✨A Chronicle of Brilliance
I often think of my friend Joseph when I see the Sun. In 2009, he launched a business and felt paralyzed by uncertainty. Yet, his readings were flooded with the Sun - Man + Sun, Moon + Sun, Stars + Sun. Joseph was talented but humble, afraid of hoping too much. The Sun, however, was unwavering. Within three years, he became a sought-after figure in his field.
The synchronicity around this card is striking. I remember writing about the Sun on the 1st of August (Leo season). My son was coincidentally reading about Napoleon Bonaparte - a man who embodied the Sun's light and shadow. Napoleon was a charismatic leader of immense victory, but his excessive ego eventually led to his downfall.
The Sun teaches us that while light is necessary for life, too much of it can scorch. It is the card of success, but it demands that we manage our pride so our brilliance doesn't become our blind spot.
Whether in relationships or career, the Sun is the ultimate green light. It doesn't just promise success; it guarantees that the truth will finally be seen in the light of day.
☀️The Sun in the Grand Shadow
In the Grand Tableau, proximity matters. Close to the Man or Woman, the Sun ends suffering and brings immediate clarity. When distant, it may suggest that a period of high good fortune is slowly fading or requires more effort to maintain.
The Sun is the 'Grand Revealer' of the Tableau. It shows where the querent has the most power to influence their own destiny through sheer force of will.
