太阳在诸多天体中处于核心位置。在中世纪的天文学中，太阳清楚的运动规律是研究其他天体运动的基础；而在现代天文学中，太阳是太阳系所有行星的轨道中心。在炼金术符号中，太阳代表着阳刚和父亲的特质，辐射散发光和热。在法国君主专制时期，太阳是国王的象征，他赐予臣民圣恩。在占星术中，太阳也象征着皇家星座狮子座的统治者。牌中的两个孩子经常被看成是各种神话故事里的双胞胎。有时是众神之父的孩子、有时是太阳神之子，是为光明力量而战的英雄。而在印度神话中，他们是阿什文双胞胎，拥有疗愈能力。
the sun shines light and warmth
太阳散发光和热
The warm and bright colors, along with the gesture of touching between the children, give the card a bright and optimistic character. The straight radial lines around the sun create a smooth surface that blunts the sharp tips of the rays. It seems as if the sun is expanding until it almost touches the children’s heads. This is especially noteworthy when compared to the porcupine-like contracted shape of the Moon.
画面温暖而明亮，两个孩子互相触碰，卡面透露出明亮和乐观的特质。太阳周围辐射的直线柔和了光线的尖锐形状。太阳仿佛正在变大，几乎快贴上孩子们的脑袋，与月亮牌像豪猪般收缩的形状形成鲜明对比。
Like the life-giving sunlight, the card can express affluence and blessings coming from above. It may represent the positive influence of people in high positions, an influx of healing energy, or the help of higher forces, whether natural or supernatural. In practical matters it can signify a comfortable situation, prosperity, and success.
就像带来生命的阳光一样，太阳牌可以代表物质的富饶和上天的祝福。它可以代表身居高位之人带来的积极影响、治疗能量的涌现、或者是高层力量的帮助，包括自然和超自然力量。在实际情况中，它可以代表环境舒适、富裕昌盛和获得成功。
the sun gives space to the child
太阳给予孩子空间
The two young figures can signify children or refer to childhood. We may also think of the partially walled space bathed in sunlight as a child’s playground. In this aspect, the Sun card may refer to the querent’s children (not necessarily two), to the querent’s childhood, or to children in general. It may also describe childlike traits or be an expression of one’s inner child — playful, creative, and imaginative. Alternatively, the card can signify impulsiveness or lack of patience, innocence and naivety, sincerity and spontaneity, curiosity, fresh thought, or a capacity for learning and adapting. One also can see the card as a hint to New Age workshops or to similar activities that encourage participants to express childlike aspects of their personality.
两个年轻小孩可以代表儿童或者童年。阳光下围墙隔起来的空间可以看成是孩子们的游乐场。从这个角度来看，太阳牌可以指代问卜者的孩子（不一定是两个）、问卜者的童年，或者普通的儿童。也可以是在描述孩子般的特征，或者指代内心的小孩——爱玩、有创造力和富有想象力。另一方面，也可以代表容易冲动、缺乏耐心、天真幼稚、主动真诚、充满好奇、思维新奇，又或者是良好的学习和适应能力。这张牌也可以指代新兴的研讨会一类的活动，这种活动鼓励参与者们表达童真的一面。
The card can also indicate a refusal to grow up and to take on adult responsibility; for example, a person who is overly dependent on his parents or generally dependent on patronage and external help. We can also see it as “a fool’s paradise,” in which the querent is living without facing real life. Jodorowsky sometimes interprets the Sun as a father in heaven — that is, an idealized father figure. For example, it can indicate a father who was absent during childhood, so he is not felt as an earthly or tangible presence. It can also express a persistent feeling that someone is watching and supervising your actions from above.
太阳牌也可以代表一个人拒绝长大、拒绝承担成年人的责任，比如一个过度依赖父母和外界帮助的人。这张牌也可以代表问卜者沉溺于“傻瓜乐园”，不愿面对真实生活。佐杜洛夫斯基有时将太阳比作天堂里的父亲——即一个理想化的父亲形象。比如，它可以代表一个在童年时期缺席的父亲，所以他在真实生活中实际不存在。这张牌也可以代表一直感觉有人从上方监督你的行为。
the sun sets measured limits
太阳牌慎重划清界限
In the Sun we can see exposure and openness, but also limits and coverings. The children are almost naked, but they have a loin cloth. Behind them there is a wall, but it is low and one can jump over it. The card may express a moderate degree of openness that keeps boundaries but also permits personal contact. For example, it may represent a friendship without sexual involvement or a close relationship that still leaves some space between the partners. It can also express an education or a style of management based on setting boundaries but keeping them moderate and with a human touch.
太阳牌体现了暴露和开放，同时又具有遮蔽和界限。孩子们几乎一丝不挂，却身裹一块腰布；他们身后有一堵墙，却矮到可以跳过去。这张牌可以代表一种适度的开放，保持界限又允许个人接触。比如，它可以代表不谈性的友谊，或者保持适当距离的亲密关系。也可以代表一种教育或管理风格，基于设定的界限、有人情味地适度管理。
the sun finds a partner
太阳找到同伴
Many authors see the two children as twins, although clearly they are not identical ones. Maybe we can just see them as brothers, whether in a biological or a metaphorical sense. The feeling of brotherhood is expressed in the gentle and warm contact between them, with a hug and a touch in the heart area. The sunlight and the nudity indicate that they are not hiding any weapons or bad intentions from each other. The protected space also creates a feeling of intimacy and security.
尽管两个小孩明显不是同卵双生的，许多塔罗师还是把他们看成双胞胎。不管他们有没有血缘关系，我们都可以把他们看成一对兄弟。他们温柔绅士地接触对方，拥抱时在心脏部位触碰，都体现出兄弟般的感觉。两人赤身站在阳光下，证明彼此没有私带武器或者暗藏恶意。保护起来的空间也营造出亲密感和安全感。
The card may express a feeling of warmth and mutual trust between siblings, partners, or friends. It can indicate a need to find a suitable partner for a planned project. The card may also indicate finding a “twin soul” with whom one can find emotional support. In a negative aspect the childish figures and the loin covering may express a sexual block in a romantic relationship.
