The Sun
for once, the answer is the simple one.
upright — what she sees
for once, the answer is the simple one. drawn upright, the sun speaks of clarity, joy, vitality. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — the obvious made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
you're standing in light and calling it night. reversed, the card turns inward — dimmed, delayed joy, false sun. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, the sun is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
