Overall, you need more fun in your life. We all do!

So start adding little bits of fun and joy into your days. Put on music as you do the dishes and dance. Wear a wig and sequins to the grocery store. Eat off the good china, every damn day. You deserve it!

Material success and abundance are coming. If you’ve had money troubles in the past, they will soon be over.

Watch out for help from unexpected sources. The Universe wants you to be rich and will keep sending money your way. Say yes to all of it, bless it, and send it on to do good works. You’re such an abundantly good steward of this flow!

Keep being smart with your money. And most of all, give yourself credit for how much you’ve learned and grown over the last few years. You have created your own luck and success.

The Sun Tarot Card Meanings for Spiritual Guidance

The Universe is glowing with you. You have come so far along your spiritual journey that the person you once were is barely recognizable to the person you have become.

Take some time to reflect on how much you’ve changed. Be sure to give yourself credit for doing the hard work of transformation!

No one else could have done this for you and you were so brave. You kept doing the work even when it was scary, dark, and lonely. You’re just amazing. Absolutely wonderfully awesome. Yay, you!

Honor your journey with a memento, tattoo, piece of jewelry, or beautiful work of art. You aren’t done growing yet, of course, but who you are now definitely deserves recognition and celebration.
