The Major Arcana describes a larger life lesson, a turning point, or an inner pattern that reaches beyond one passing event.
Upright meaning

Ask where you can notice, choose, or act differently. The Sun becomes constructive when its theme is translated into behavior that fits the facts rather than treated as a vague assurance.

Reversed meaning
Joy may feel delayed or difficult to receive, even while something good is present. A reversed card is not automatically negative. Its energy may be blocked, excessive, delayed, or operating inwardly. Check those possibilities before deciding which one fits, and avoid using the card to label yourself or another person.
A common mistake with The Sun is turning a vivid image into a fixed conclusion. The same card can describe an external event, an internal stance, or an approaching choice. The question, spread position, and reader's actual circumstances determine which layer is relevant.
