# THE SUN The Sun card depicts a child riding atop a white horse, representing strength, with the bright sun shining overhead. The child is naked, illustrating purity, innocence, and confidence. With a smile on her face, she is joyful and playful, and she carries a red flag that waves in the wind, exhibiting bold, energetic movement. The red feather worn in the wreath upon her head is the same feather we see on The Fool, in the very first card of the Major Arcana; both cards that embody free-spirited optimism. In the background grow four sunflowers, symbolizing the four suits of the Minor Arcana, the four fixed signs, and the four elements. The flowers turn their face to the child, rather than the sun, basking in her happy glow. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Joy, positivity, optimism, confidence, happiness, energy, vitality, innocence, success, accomplishment, creativity, growth, inner child **역방향 (Reversed):** Pessimism, feeling down, darkness, sadness, lack of enthusiasm, burnout, bad luck, obstacles, naïveté, wounded inner child ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) Bust out those sunglasses, babe!
