The Sun

Deviant Moon Tarot
joyvitalityclaritysuccess

Twins meet at the city wall. They came as two, but the sun above them merges them into a single soul. Joy, friendship, union, pure happiness.

The card's image

At the city wall of the lunar world twins meet. They came separately, as two distinct beings — but the sun shining above them merges them into a single soul. After the Moon's power over the previous card, solar light now reigns here: warmth, clarity, the joy of meeting. The pale lunar faces are lit by daylight brilliance, the gothic wall no longer grim. This is the card of pure happiness, friendship, union — the moment when what was divided comes together, and light dissolves the shadows.

Interpretation

This deck's Sun is the card of joy and union. Twins meet at the wall, and the sun merges them into a single soul: what was divided comes together, light dissolves the shadows. After the lunar darkness this is the triumph of clarity, warmth, and happy meeting.

Upright — successful social relations, friendship, betrothal, happy times, pure joy. Before you is light: union, agreement, warmth between people, wellbeing that does not need to be won in battle — it simply is.

Archetypally this is the Waite Sun — clarity, reborn joy, the triumph of light. Here there are no illusions of the Moon: everything is lit directly, seen as it is, and what is seen is beautiful. This is the deck's most unclouded card.

Advice & forecast

The card's advice

Open yourself to joy and union — this deck's sun merges the divided into one, and now is the time of warmth, friendship, closeness without looking over your shoulder. Do not complicate simple happiness, do not seek a catch where there is light: what is seen is beautiful and genuine. Move toward people, join, celebrate the clarity after the darkness. Share the light and receive it. Beside The Lovers crown the passion with happy union; beside The Moon let the sun dispel the last obsessions and trust the truth of the day.

What the forecast holds

Ahead — joy and union: happy times, friendship, betrothal, a warm meeting, success in relationships. Light will dissolve the shadows, clarity will replace the fog, what was divided will come together. This is the most favorable season — wellbeing will come easily and genuinely, without a struggle. Literal events are possible: a betrothal, a reconciliation, a union of two, a celebration. Open yourself to this light and joining — happiness is real, and it can simply be accepted.

The Sun reversed

The reversed Sun here — loneliness, unstable relationships, separation. The twins do not meet or part: the sun does not merge them into one soul, and instead of union comes disconnection. This is a cooling, an unreliable bond, a rupture where joining could have been; joy is clouded, the light has dimmed. Sometimes — loneliness among people, the inability to truly draw close, a friendship that does not come together. Warmth is present, but does not reach the heart. The reversed card's counsel: do not chase away loneliness by desperation — the sun has not set, it has only hidden; seek genuine joining rather than its appearance; repair the bond where it has come undone, and move toward warmth rather than turning away from it.

How it differs from Waite

The Sun — Rider-Waite-Smith deck
Rider-Waite-SmithThe Sun
Deviant Moon TarotThe Sun

In Waite the Sun is a naked child on a white horse beneath an enormous sun, sunflowers and a wall: reborn innocence, unclouded joy, clarity of spirit. This deck gives a meeting of twins whom the sun merges into a single soul. The archetype of joy, clarity, and happiness is shared, but Waite makes it an image of reborn wholeness through a child, this deck — an image of union and friendship, two joined into one under sunlight in the middle of a dark city.
