In The Sunshine: Tarot Tuesday (Video Reading)

It’s Tarot Tuesday and I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely loving the sunshine right now. Here in Toronto the past week has been all sunny blue skies and chirping birds, signaling that summer is almost here. 

With longer days and ample sunshine, I’ve found myself drawn to the outdoors. After a cold and dark winter and deep into two+ years of keeping distance from the population-dense crowds of downtown, I am craving the open air. While I’m still cautiously distancing, something just hits different this year – feeling the sun on my face, sensing the breeze blowing through my hair, hearing the sounds of people and animals frolicking in the grass. It’s pure enjoyment, and I can’t help but smile when I think about it.

Life is all about balance (Ginny over at Kuko Health gives a great talk that explains this from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective). This is the “light” part of “Bring Light to Shadow”.  It’s just as important to acknowledge the brightness in our lives as it is to see and honour our shadows. In fact, these moments of light equip us to better approach and illuminate our darkness.

Living In Sunshine

Sunshine gives life. There’s an indescribable quality to it that feels warm and safe and approachable. Sunny days have the power to help us feel happy and hopeful. Beyond the physical warmth the sun gives off, there’s a special energetic quality to it that just feels good. In tarot, the sun gets its own card, associated with optimism and vitality. 

Just as we all have different ways of relating to sunshine (I love it, but my pale self requires ample sunscreen to stand in its presence), we differ in the ways we access our light. Today’s tarot spread is designed to help you explore your own light through the tangible theme of sunshine 🌞

PS – If it’s accessible to you, I highly recommend completing this reading (or journal prompt, if that’s your preference) in the sunshine! Whether that’s a picnic table in a park or a well-placed sunbeam in your living room, get yourself in that light. 

A Tarot Spread For Exploring Your Inner Light

A pale yellow background displays a radiant, wavy yellow sun in the center. Over top reads the title “In The Sunshine: A Tarot Spread” in burnt orange, with a taupe subtitle reading “Explore your inner light”. Below are four blank tarot cards, numbered one through four, positioned horizontally over top of the sun graphic. Underneath are the four tarot card prompts: “1 - What blessings do I already have that the sun is lighting up for me? 2 - Where could I use more sunshine in my life? 3 - How can I better appreciate the feeling of the sun on my skin? 4 - What small thing can I do to bask in the glory of the sun right now?”
