Unit 6: Tarot - The Sun
12:06
The Sun - You
are in the right place at the right time.
General Meaning
The Sun card is about the self -- who you are and how you cultivate
your personality and character. The Sun's radiance is where one's original
nature can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and
space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from
the chaos outside the garden walls. Under the light of the Sun, life reclaims
its primordial goodness, truth, and beauty. If one person is shown on this
card, it is usually signifying a human incarnation of the divine. When two
humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between
opposites at all levels. It's as if this card is saying "You can do no
wrong -- it's all to the good!"
In the Advice Position
Let your light shine. Be confident in the sacred power of your
original nature.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which
will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The Sun card advises you to have confidence in your natural
divinity. Throw off any cultural conditioning that keeps you from being
authentic with yourself. Step into the full light of truth and reveal your
motives and principles. Once done, you will no longer give away power to the
people that criticize and shame you. Focus on the positive and the real. Your
authentic shining self can be a light for others if you project it without
contrivance.
Gems/Crystals
Amber
is noted in metaphysics to give a soothing, light energy that is both calming
and energizing at the same time. It is said to help manifest desires and
heighten intellectual abilities, clarity of thought, and wisdom. It is reputed
to cleanse its environment by drawing out negativity, and to relieve physical
pain the same way. It is used mystically to bring the energies of patience,
protection, psychic shielding, romantic love, sensuality, purification,
balance, healing and calmness to those who wear or carry it.
A
legend claims the God of Mines called his courtiers to bring together all the
world’s known gems: Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, etc. etc., and he found them
to be of all tints and colours and varying hardnesses. He took one of each and
crushed them; he compounded them together, and declared, “Let this be something
that will combine the beauty of all.” He spoke, and lo, the Diamond was born…pure as a dewdrop and
invincible in hardness. Yet when its ray is resolved in the spectrum, it
displays all the colours of the gems from which it was made.
In
the ancient world, Bloodstone
(Heliotrope) was considered to be the most beautiful of the Jaspers, a
deep, earthy green gem emboldened with spots of bright red. Called the Sun
Stone, and later Christ’s Stone, its energy carries the purity of blood and
inherently speaks of life and birth, vitality and strength, passion and
courage. As a talisman it is both mystical and magical, and its virtues are
protective and nurturing.
With
the radiance of the sun and the fire of the solar ray, Sunstone carries the energy of Ra, the sun god, whose energy brings
all potential life from within the Earth. It is a Stone of Leadership - of
personal power, freedom, and expanded consciousness. Truly reflecting the
qualities of Light, it brings openness, benevolence and warmth, strength,
mental clarity, and the willingness and ability to bestow blessings upon others
Tiger's Eye is a stone of protection that is also very stabilizing and
grounding. It enhances integrity, willpower, self-confidence,
practicality and correct use of power. It is a stone that enhances good
luck, and brings prosperity, often in the form of money. Tiger's eye is also a
very protective stone which is especially protective during travel. It can also
help one see clearly without illusion. Tiger's eye brings a special boost to
the solar plexus chakra and to one's personal power.
What I want The Sun
Tarot to tell
Your creativity and confidence is usually quite high, but
recently you’ve lost your touch. Don’t worry. The Sun card represents your
re-integration into yourself.
When inverted it suggests you will struggle/continue to
struggle with being yourself again.
