The Fool beside The Sun is one of the easier hands the deck deals. The Fool and The Sun tarot pairing sets the figure at the cliff edge, with the little white dog at the heels, next to the child on a white horse riding out under a sky that holds nothing but light, and there is no catch hidden in the middle of them. Something is starting, and for once you can see it clearly.
Zero and nineteen, and nineteen adds back to one, so both of these cards are beginnings: one you step into without knowing the road, and one you can see all the way down. Together they say the thing you have been squinting at has become obvious, and the only work left is to go. If you have spent months waiting for more information before you moved, this is the pair that says the information arrived a while ago and you have been looking straight at it.
In love
In love, The Fool and The Sun tarot combination is warm and refreshingly uncomplicated. It favors the plain version of yourself, the one who laughs at the wrong moment and says what they think, rather than the managed version you send out first to check the temperature of the room.
If you are single, this pair leans toward saying yes to the ordinary invitation, the walk, the coffee, the thing with no atmosphere to it, because the good ones here tend to turn up in daylight rather than at midnight. If you are with someone, it points at doing something together with no purpose attached to it. You cannot know what anybody else will choose. You can be easy to be around, which is more than most of us manage in a busy week.
At work and with money
This pair is good for being seen. The Fool says start the untried thing, and The Sun says let it be visible while you do, which between them rule out the quiet perfectionist plan of building it in a drawer for a year first. Pitch it, apply for it, show the work you have been keeping back.
On money, The Fool and The Sun tarot pairing names no amounts, and it does say this is a clear stretch for deciding rather than a foggy one. Make the plan while you can see. If something has been going well and you have been bracing for the other shoe, this is the pair that quietly suggests some things really are as good as they look.
When one of them is reversed
With The Fool reversed, you are holding yourself back from something you already know you want, and the reasons have begun to sound rehearsed even to you. The sunlight in the second picture has not gone anywhere. You are simply standing just outside it.
With The Sun reversed, the good thing is happening and you cannot quite feel it, which is far more common than people admit and is nobody’s failing. Say out loud to one person that you are tired rather than fine, and let the beginning be smaller than it deserves to be for now.
What to do with this pair
This week, do the untried thing in daylight and tell one person you are doing it, which turns a private idea into something with a witness. Pick the version that fits inside an afternoon. Not everything that is good for you has to be hard, and this pair is the deck’s way of saying you are allowed to enjoy the clear stretch while it is here.
