you are missing a visual feast!!!)

I am so delighted to tell you that my new poetry book "Mother, May I?" is now available at amazon.com. You need to put in both the title and my name to bring up the link. When there are enough hits, it should come up readily with either. For now, use both. Thank you all for your energy in my life.

HERE COMES THE SUN!!!

#19

THE SUN

Constellation of the Magician

19-10-1

With so many remarkable images, it is indeed difficult to select one deck.

How do you choose?

The artwork usually grabs the eye

but the text is equally important.

So, here we are at #19

or XIX

with a series of images.

Comments are a selection from the tarot study group

Rotarota

Gemstone associated with The Sun:  Topaz

Making it happen, a culmination of energies,

ripening, reaching out, an awakened mind

Free and unencumbered, no longer a wallflower,

now, a sunflower.

A future never imagined.

The will of the tarot speaks the law of love

Dedicate ourselves to Love

Truth rising after a dark night

Spiritual wisdom through darkness

Robust and encouraging

Lugh, the bold Sun God
Carry the sun within

A time of growth and delight.

Circular patterns of life cycles.

Self expression.

Rejoice.  Purity.  Strength.

Let there is Light.

Alchemical key:  Source behind the Source

The Lovers escape The Devil and unite in Light

Red and orange equal power,

more power than anywhere.

Potential.  Celebration.

Freedom to express the inner Light,

To accept heavenly gifts, unadorned

Questions to ask myself:

How and where am I successful?

What lights up my world?

What or who makes me happy and optimistic?

Where do I feel joy and self love?

What could burn me out?

What metaphor does the Sun have for you now?

Relax as she waxes.
