Why The Sun leans YES

The most positive card in the deck — an unqualified yes. In the traditional Rider-Waite system, that energy translates to a yes for a direct question — the Major Arcana suit speaks through The Sun.

Reversed meaning

Traditions differ on reversed cards. A common reading: a reversed yes softens toward "not yet", while a reversed no tends to stand firm. For The Sun, most readers treat the reversal as a signal to examine timing and intention before acting. Decide before drawing whether you count reversals at all.
