The Sun Tarot card, 19th in the Major Arcana, means attainment and knowledge. It is also the return of innocence and childish joy. Its imagery is idealistic and positive. In the Rider-Waite Tarot deck like here, it depicts a small child riding a white horse. The sun is gazing down benevolently. A field of flowers blossoms in the background. The child waves a red flag as he rides. This can present renewal and triumph over one’s subconscious fears. Here are some common interpretations that might be helpful for you.

The Sun Tarot Card Meaning in a Reading
The Sun and the Lovers
When read alongside the Lovers, for example, any questions about relationships usually have a happy answer in the upright and a caution in the reversed position.
As a Single you might be encouraged to know that such relationships are possible and even likely to happen.
Outside of love, this combination may signify that an unexpected partnership holds the key to happiness and success.
The Sun and the Moon
In conjunction with the Moon, which precedes it in the Major Arcana, it can show a balance between inner spirituality and the subconscious, and the outer world we inhabit daily.
Within the context of a relationship, opposites attract and the two people may balance each other beautifully.
For a single person, it may be time to explore who they are on the inside and outside.
The Sun and the Judgement
Finally, if the reading brings the Sun and the Judgement cards together, it is often time to put the clarity of the sun card into action, judging yourself and others fairly and honestly. That goes for all walks of life, romantic and otherwise.
