Burned Out
The Sun is a nice card to see in a Tarot spread. It usually means ‘protected’, ‘vital’ and ‘blessed’. But it can also mean ‘burned out’.
Too much of a good thing, is still too much. Sometimes you get to a point where you have to walk away from something to refresh your perspective. Sometimes you just need to take a break.
I’m not writing that I’m taking a break, I think I’ve already taken one. I haven’t been very active here at all. I’m not sure if I’m finished taking a break yet. But I felt like writing something today, and I consider that an improvement. I also feel like getting my cards out this afternoon. I have a couple of questions for them.
But first I’m going for a walk. It’s a nice day out, and I want to enjoy it before the colder weather really sets in around here.
Weather Report
The Sun came out today. It was a glorious thing to see. If you live in the northeastern region of the United States, you’ll understand. We’ve had a rough time of it the past couple of weeks. The reappearance of the sun has been a most welcome development.
After lunch today, my husband and I went out to local ice cream stand. We walked to the park and ate our ice cream in the sun and watched people in the center of town, walking dogs and riding bikes and just generally enjoying the day. During the long cold winter months you can forget just how good the sun can feel, and how much you appreciate warm air and blue skies.
This is a good way to understand one of the aspects of the Sun card. It can have different meanings in different spread contexts. But by itself, one of it’s strongest meanings is just that feeling you get after a long cold stretch, whether it be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It’s a deep feeling of well-being and contentment. Time slows down and you smile a lot. Things that seemed like troubles suddenly become minor annoyances. You feel like you can handle anything. It feels good to be alive.
Ice cream certainly enhances that feeling, of course.
