My Favourite Sun

Such a positive card, signifying success and happiness. The Sun illuminates our path and fills us with playful energy and the ability to manifest our goals. It throws light on future opportunities as well as success in the present.

5. Mermaid Tarot

This is the first of two mermaid cards  that are favourites. I have surprised myself choosing two watery cards for the sun but this card in particular depicts the radiation and warmth of the sun so well and how far reaching that can be. The water creatures are bright and playful, another aspect of the message of this card.

4. The Spacious Tarot

This whole deck is filled with minimalist images and this one is no exception. The single sunflower tilting its head to the Sun basking in the warmth and light makes me want to lie down in the field beside it and enjoy the beautiful summers day. Lightness, brightness and energy all shine out of this card. 

3. Way Home Tarot

Some of the landscape in this image looks like it's had a little too much sun, giving the shadow message of this card. However, it's the green trees flourishing in the valley and leading the readers eye along the path to enlightenment that really stands out as the positive message. The Sun in this image is so bright it's almost glowing white. 

2. Dame Darcy Mermaid 

So here's our second mermaid and she's backlit by a beaming yellow sun. She's fun, playful and what says success better than owning your very own seahorse and riding around on the surf all day? The soft colouring in this image is even better in real life and it's a delightful soft touch finish card stock. 

1. Anna K Tarot

It seems like the end of the Major Arcana in this deck is far more attractive to me than the beginning. Especially this golden sun. This card packs in such a lot. In addition to the glorious sun, there's the bright sunflowers, the established homesteads in the distance and the welcoming pathway through the fields of corn giving you a clear route to where you want to go. It's got everything you need plus lots of space to 'enter' the image if you want to.
