The Sun And Moon Tarot: Unleash Divine Energy And Spirituality
The Sun and Moon can be highly spiritual cards. Though you may receive them together in a spread or separately during your reading, their meaning as part of the Major Arcana is both purposeful and versatile.
The Sun
Receiving the Sun is often a positive blessing and is usually a ‘yes’ card in upright readings. The Sun can symbolize success, positivity, and joy in life; it may represent a loyal and thriving romantic relationship or new achievements in your professional life.
The Sun is also a card of good fortune; it may be used to symbolize that the path you are taking is the right one for you or that your achievements are about to net you success and accolades. The Sun is typically an abundant card, so it may be reminding you of areas in your life for which you should be grateful or telling you that new fortune and blessings will soon appear as a result of your work.
Because of the Sun’s presence as a ruling planet in astrology, many tarot readers may also relate the Sun to spiritual guidance and astrological movements. Leo Sun signs, for example, may feel a strong connection to the Sun card and might use it to determine when they are receiving guidance from their ruling planet. Those who practice astrology might find meaning in the Sun’s blessings, such as health and new energy.
The Moon
As in life, the Sun and Moon in tarot are opposites. This means that the Moon is typically a ‘no’ card when pulled upright during a reading. The Moon card can sometimes be seen as a negative, though this does not necessarily have to be the case. Its reputation comes from the fact that it often represents mystery, illusion, or deception.
The Moon may be telling you that you are struggling to admit something to yourself or that your subconscious is at odds with the rest of your mind. There may be a solution to some of your issues that you are ignoring or you may have problems you have yet to confront. The Moon can be helpful when it comes to unveiling your inner truth or confronting fears you are not consciously aware of. All of these things can affect your daily life in ways you might not understand or expect, so the Moon drawing your attention to these things can be beneficial in the end.
The Moon can also represent things like spirituality, power, your intuition, and inner reflection. It is a powerful and meaningful card to pull. If you have connections to the Moon in your personal life – such as if you are a Cancer and the Moon is your ruling planet, or if you are a Pisces and the Moon is your connecting tarot card – then you may find that the Moon is more about personal guidance or reassurance when it appears in your spread.
The Sun and Moon
The Sun and Moon together can be pulled in a spread when a querent is struggling with their inner self. The two cards together may bring a message of spirituality or divine guidance. Together, they can also symbolize the need for self-reflection and complete balance in all things.
The Sun and Moon may be advising you to seek alignment within yourself and bring both sides of these two cards into balance. This will likely require you to complete deep inner work, reflection, and subconscious exercises to address both your inner Moon and your outer Sun and bring them into harmony.
