The Sun Yes or No Answer
When The Sun appears in a yes or no reading, it delivers a clear yes answer. The Sun radiates pure positivity, success, and achievement - the most favorable card for yes/no questions. As The Radiant One, The Achiever, The Bringer of Joy, this card speaks with a joyful and radiant energy: "Joy is your birthright." The radiant sun represents divine illumination, consciousness, and life-giving energy, the source of all life and the light of pure consciousness shining forth. The sun rays (straight and wavy) represents direct divine energy and gentle warming influence, the dual nature of solar energy - both powerful and nurturing. The naked child on horse represents innocence, joy, and natural confidence, the pure self, free from shame and fully expressing authentic nature. The card's visual story reinforces this answer: A brilliant sun shines from a clear blue sky, its rays alternating between straight and wavy lines. Below, a naked child with flowing hair rides bareback on a white horse, holding a red banner.

The Card's Message

Remember that success is most fulfilling when it comes from being true to yourself. Even during temporary setbacks, maintain optimism and trust in your inner light.
Timing Considerations
The number 19 carries the energy of the number of achievement, solar consciousness, and joyful success. This the radiant energy of consciousness fully awakened and expressed with joy. This suggests the timing is favorable.

With a "Yes" from The Sun, proceed with confidence. I radiate joy and success, sharing my authentic light with the world and attracting abundance in all forms.
The Sun Reversed: Yes or No
When The Sun appears reversed in a yes or no reading, the answer becomes Maybe. The reversed Sun indicates temporary delays in success, difficulty accessing your natural joy and optimism, or clouds temporarily blocking your inner light. This card doesn't represent permanent failure but rather temporary setbacks, pessimism, or the inability to see the bright side of situations. The reversed Sun may indicate that you're being overly critical of yourself, focusing on what's wrong rather than what's right, or allowing external circumstances to dim your natural radiance. Sometimes this card suggests that success is coming but not as quickly or dramatically as you hoped.
How Reversal Changes the Answer
Upright, The Sun is a Yes. Reversed, it becomes a Maybe. Temporary clouds over success, delayed happiness, or difficulty accessing joy.
