365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

Sun Card Spread

On This Day

The word eclipse is from the Greek ekleipsis, meaning “abandonment, cessation, omission, or flaw.” Solar eclipses mythically portended inauspicious events or hidden dangers.

The longest solar eclipse in recorded history happened on this day in 2009, casting its shadow over parts of Asia and the Pacific Ocean.

Summation of Spread

The Sun card represents a breakthrough, energetic growth, and—above all things—hope. Sun worship exists in all cultures because the sun represents life. The horse on the card represents the new direction life is taking. When the Sun card appears, it is a reminder that each and every day is a gift and an opportunity for expansion.

Solar events offer us an opportunity to ponder and examine the symbols found inside the Sun card, upon which the questions of this spread are based.
