The nineteenth arcana presents us with a couple tenderly embracing in the center of a flowerbed: reason united with the sentiment. When the light of the Sun has redeemed all men they will be able to regain possession of their integrity, of the lost paradise, of peace and of the common work.
The Sun enriches the embraced couple with a perpetual shower of gold: the philosophical gold of alchemy, the gold of the spirit which is the supreme wealth. This blade symbolizes luck, the lasting happiness that is continually created through knowledge and love; certainty, serenity, family joy, and peace.
It portends a happy union, a love marriage, harmony with the environment, reconciliation, successes in the intellectual and artistic fields, help, friendship, solving problems, realizing the actions taken, spiritual light. Indicates excellent health, healing, celebrity, success; secrets revealed, clarity, trust, generosity, intelligence.
It, therefore, promises all kinds of satisfaction: material riches, joy, cheerfulness, but above all the precious virtue of knowing how to be satisfied with what one possesses. It embodies the figure of a good friend, an ideal collaborator and heralds offspring.
In the negative: the Sun foresees incomprehension, stubbornness, secret loves, unaccepted help, insurmountable difficulties, lack of happiness and harmony; bad luck, quarrels, lies, misunderstandings, waste, exhibitionism, vanity, touchiness, divorce, negative events concerning children; poor health, eye and heart problems, accidents, traumas. Success is delayed at best and the future looks bleak. Corresponds to the element of fire, Sunday and the month of August, the planets Sun, Jupiter, Mercury, the signs of Leo and Gemini.
