The Sun Month

Fire

This month your card is the Sun. Let yourself be glad. Let it be simple. The thing to watch: the Sun month can tip into pressure, the brightness that's supposed to be here making the actual mixed feelings harder to admit. If the joy is real, let it be real without performing it. If it's not all the way there yet, you don't have to fake it. The Sun comes back. It doesn't require your help.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Sun, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Sun is the part of you that gets to be glad, plainly and without apology. It is joy, vitality, the clarity of full daylight after a long dark. It is the warmth of being seen and not having to hide it.
