The sun card usually speaks to the image of the sun in all it’s literal glory. It conveys images of energy, heat, warmth, light, and brings to mind hot and tropical locations. You may see the sun and automatically be dreaming of a beach vacation or fishing trip. You may picture yourself wearing a swimsuit and flip flops and drinking a margarita or Mai Tai with your toes in the sand. The sun can also speak to visibility, brightness, energy, and illumination. It is the card for achievers and achievements. It is a victory card. If you’re close to the sun you’re about to reach success, and your brightness can be seen by all of those around you. You shine, you’re glowing with joy, and you cannot hide your accomplishments. You are visible for the world to see. Unsurprisingly, the colors often associated with the sun card are yellow, orange, and gold. Health wise, this card may refer to physical acuity, fitness, energy, or vitamin D, which comes from the sun. It may also be referring to a beach or desert as a location. Sometimes it may even also refer to a fireplace, oven, stove, lamp, light, or other source of heat or light, or both. The sun references the day Sunday. Something may happen on this day, or it may be your special day to shine.
Many of us are fearful of being as bright as we can be or letting our true selves shine. We may have experienced friends who are jealous distancing themselves from us because of their inability to hide their jealousy and anger at their own situations. We may have experienced others, perhaps as children in school, bullying us because we may run faster or perform better in class than them. We’ve all heard about the smart student who grows up to become a millionaire with his scientific research and ideas but who was called a nerd and tormented by other children through grade school. Because of these reasons, we are often scared to be ridiculed or to be in the public eye. We keep our success a secret, we are afraid to be the stars we really are. Icarus flew too close to the sun and was burned, and we do not want our friends to meet the same fate or destiny. But the truth is that our true friends will be just as wonderful as us, smart enough to avoid the flames, and gracious enough to want what’s best for us. They want us to succeed as badly as we want to achieve our dreams. They want us to be happy, and full of light, because that only fulfills their lives as well.
Thirty one is the number of days in most months: January, March, May, July, August, October, and December. It’s the name of a card game, and the number of flavors at Baskin Robbins’ Ice Cream stores. It’s also the name of a popular women’s bag line. Creativity and dedication are the marks of people born on the 31st. This number generally represents creative energy, or energy in general, making it a perfect fit for the sun which is nothing but energy. This is a source of power, ushering in spiritual energy, prosperity, longevity, cutting through illusions and deceptions, and the surrounding clouds which allow you to move wealth into your life.
The tower is often depicted as a tall tower, shaped like the letter A, with a large bottom and a tiny top and scaffolding across the middle to link the two slanted sides. It often looks like the Eiffel tower, as pictured here, unlike a tall and round tower made from bricks that you’d see in castles described in fairy tales, but it’s meant to be no specific tower. The tower symbolism often conveys ideas of corporations, large buildings, skyscrapers, royalty, people in power. It may even refer to schools, the military, or some type of large institution. It can call forth feelings of standards, hierarchy, ego, class, and social and financial status or limitations. We often automatically think that a farm or countryside indicates people of poor financial status, while a tower, apartment building, or penthouse may indicate people with a wealthy financial status. The 1980’s television program “The Jeffersons” talked about “moving on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky” in the theme song and theme of the program. Healthwise, a tower could indicate the bones, spine, back or neck. It may even indicate that you should be quarantined, like Rapunzel, or some kind of maiden who is locked up inside a tower. The Jehovah’s Witnesses use a “Watchtower” as a name of their newspaper and literary magazine, which indicates how important they see it as.
A tower card usually indicates that you will begin to rise up or move up throughout your work and social life. This may be isolated — your friends and family may not make this rise or benefit from this rise with you. This may lead to strife among your partner and you, or friends and yourself. Make sure that you are prepared for this strife and potential jealousy. Do everything that you can to make sure that this promotion or positive change will not isolate you from the people who love you and try to help you on a daily basis.
19 is a prime number, and the lowest prime centered triangular number. When in conjunction with the tower card 19 may refer to the 19th day, 19th week, 19th month, or 19th year. It may also mention 2019, for example. What’s very interesting about the number 19 in popular culture, is that Stephen King used the 19 very prominently in his book series “The Dark Tower”. Many of the names add up to 19, and they all refer to the ka-tet of 19. The number ends up being a very powerful key.
Because the Sun card can refer to brightness or victory, and the Tower card can refer to accomplishment or financial status, these two cards together means an investment is soon to pay off or that you have just made a decision that is going to bump you up significantly. You may have just purchased a winning lotto ticket or even just met the person who is going to contribute greatly to your financial future.
The Sun is represented by the number 31, and the Tower is represented by the number 19. When we combine them we get the number 50. Since 50 isn’t a single digit number, we add the 5 + 0 to get the number 5.
Five is the number of days in a standard work week. It’s the number of fingers on hands and feet. Without even one toe, we have trouble walking. Without even one finger, we have trouble using our hands. Our roots are important and our feet are the foundation upon which our body stands and grows tall. Protect them. Five may indicate 5:00, Friday, or the letter E. In Chinese culture, the number 5 represents the elements: water, fire, metal, earth, and wood.
As it relates to Lenormand cards, the card closely related to the number five is the tree. The tree is one of the most powerful symbols in our everyday lives. We see trees everywhere. It’s a yoga pose, a symbol of life, we even chart our families with trees and their branches. Trees represent earth’s circle of life. A tree is strong, grows tall, and is rooted into the ground. Trees are also symbolic of ritual, forest, spells, and different types of magic or magick.
A card with an image of a tree indicates that you are beginning to spread your branches. It may symbolize a baby that is about to come and that your family is beginning to grow. It may even symbolize multiple babies, children, or twins. A tree may also indicate that you will begin to branch out in your career and in the professional sense. You may be about to step out of your comfort zone and begin accepting new challenges. Additionally, a tree could mean that you need to take a look at the life you’ve built and make sure the roots are sturdy. Do you have a water source that is not the clearest? Have you been true to your faith and yourself? Is your root system strong? Do you have a friend that is untrue? Some friends are like branches, they’re there for the majority of the time but when things get rough and the storms come, they’re breaking off. We have a couple dozen of those. But our true friends, our brothers and sisters, are our roots. They come few and far between, and they’ll never leave us no matter what happens until our dying day.
You must take some action steps to get the ball rolling into success. There is positive energy surrounding your endeavors and you must make a move for them to pay off. Go through all of your investment sites and see what gains you have made on your investments. Take advantage of the opportunity that is being offered. Top off your financial goals with making a short call to your creditors and asking to check on your eligibility for a decrease on your interest rates. The time for you to dot your I’s and cross your T’s is now.
“I know that the stars are aligned for me right now and I will take full advantage of this gift. I will organize my finances small and large so I can maximize my success. I am a conquer of the towers before me and I will soon be looking out over my kingdom. My confidence and good judgement will be my wings to my full and rich life.” Repeat this 2 or 3 times in the mirror daily.
