HERE COMES THE SUN!

I pulled the Sun Card.

I'm having a particularly good day to day, so I'm not surprised (but still pleased) to see the sun shining in my hand. Here's why it's such a nice card to see:

The Sun itself is "Considered by most people as cosmic power." Here, from the symbol site I discovered, is a quick reference of sun symbolism. I added my own comments about their import:

Life: the sun gives life through it's heat and energy, which is represented by the straight and wavy lines radiating from it.
Power: The sun is the center of our universe, for sure, and the reason we're able to survive on this rock
Strength: Nothing is more powerful than the sun
Energy: Nothing is more powerful than the sun
Force: I'm beginning to repeat myself
Clarity: the sun represents the light, and that by which we see the light
Self : your sun sign in astrology represents the way most people see you.

We also see sunflowers in this card.
From the same website I referenced above is this description of the symbolic meaning of
the Sunflower:
"The way they move their massive heads to meet the sun make them a flower of spiritual attainment, flexibility, and opportunity. They are also symbolic of good luck, wealth and ambition. Give sunflowers away to someone who is working toward a goal and needs a big break in their lives. They are also an excellent housewarming gift as the receiver embraces new opportunities in the form of hearth and home."

Nice, huh?

Now, the white horse:
The Celtic goddess, Epona was the mother horse goddess of Earth, invoked during the equinoxes (the true Sun-Days)to ease both seasonal and spiritual transitions. An Earth goddess, she provides grounding and stability in times of great shifts. She is the caretaker of all new life.

The horse itself represents nobility, strength, and my favorite, freedom.
Buddha is said to have left this physical plane riding a white horse.

So who is The Child?
The child represents new beginnings, and the optimism of youth.

All in all, the card encourages us to hold close to what gives us strength, what fires our passions and our hearts. It urges us to nurture our secret dreams and start going for them in a big way, because our greatest power comes from our most optimistic and joyful thoughts and desires. The wall behind the child lets us know that all the blocks and resistances are behind us, and so it's time to let ourselves be the person we're meant to become.

That's the message of the Sun. It says, in short, "Whaaa HOOOOOO!, life is GOOD! Come on out into the light and SHINE!"

Much love,
