The Sun Tarot Card Description

A naked child is riding a white horse with open arms and carrying a red banner. The child is exuberant, happy, and free. We’re reminded of The Fool by the wreath of flowers and feather in his or her hair. Like a medieval standard, the large red banner attracts our attention. The child doesn’t need a saddle or bridle to control the horse, which is calm, but in no way subdued. We can see it flicking its tail, head held high, and ears swivelled back as it pays attention to what is happening around it.

Behind the horse and child, we see a walled garden. The four sunflowers represent the four elements and the four suits of the minor arcana. Everything is in place for success. The stone wall shows us that this success is stable and built to last. High in the sky we see a dazzling sun. Its face is serene as it observes all that is to be seen.
