Getting The Sun when asking about a current friendship suggests this friendship is full of shared joy, warmth and openness. This person brings out your best and makes you feel seen and appreciated for who you are. It’s the type of connection where you both can be silly, honest and self-revealing with a fear of rejection. There’s mutual admiration and support, and the bond you share may even have a healing quality.
The Sun upright when asking about a former friend suggests you’ve outgrown the drama with them and have reclaimed your peace. You’re no longer in the shadows of the old friendship and you’re attracting people who celebrate you, not compete with you. You’re no longer explaining your worth to people who aren’t listening, or don’t even care.
The Sun upright when asking about an enemy suggests your light is so bright that your enemy’s darkness cannot dim it. You win not by playing their games, but by thriving in your own right.

The Sun Upright Pregnancy
Getting The Sun when asking about a potential pregnancy is one of the most positive cards for pregnancy. In fact, I’d put it just below The Empress (the best card) in terms of a positive sign! If you’re asking whether you’re pregnant, this card points strongly to yes, and it will be a very healthy one at that. If you’re not currently pregnant, this card predicts you will be soon. Everything is aligning beautifully for you in this department.
