Plenty of advice from these two. Merely personal and idiosyncratic interpretations as usual.

The Moon — I see this one as if it were a watercolor painting. A full moon is shining on the sea at night, touching the horizon, so that a road of reflected moonlight seems to lead across the water to the moon itself. An old galleon, maybe a pirate ship, is at the beginning of the moonlight road, with wind in its sails. It could go up the road to the moon if the captain decided to — and if the road were real.

I can see this as a message about deception and illusion, particularly that of magical thinking. It is magical thinking to believe that the path on the water really leads to the moon; it flies in the face of known facts. So, beware of magical thinking. However, I also get a sense of “don’t close the door”. The world is strange; we don’t know everything; magic has been reported to happen; a lot of people have experiences they can’t explain. So, by all means, sail your ship up that path if you really want to, because you never know where a leap of faith might take you. Just be aware of when you are thinking magically, and be a bit scientific about your travels up moonbeam roads — which can be anything from spiritual practices to love affairs to commodity fetishism. Like a ship’s officer, you should make and record meticulous observations. Faith is not diminished by having reason for a companion, and skepticism is your anchor — don’t hesitate to use it.

The Sun –When I was a teenager I had a fantasy of being able to leave my body and travel in the astral world. One of the first places I planned to visit, if not the first, was going to be the sun. Imagine being able to go there, and fly right into it, without being burned. I have a strange kind of pity for the sun. It is our parent; physically, all of our matter originated in it. Perhaps alone of all the billions of stars in the universe, it produced conscious life… but having no consciousness itself, it doesn’t know us. The images I see in relation to the Sun card are bound up with these thoughts. The rider on the white horse in the Rider-Waite card takes off, like Bellerophon, the horse flying like Pegasus, right into the sun, the original parent. The soul curls up safe in the great white heat, the original nest. The sun responds in some instinctive way, like a simple animal, a plant, or just a muscle contracting around the visitor.

I see this as being an expression of deep, half unconscious drives towards safety, comfort, towards whatever is biggest and warmest. In the most positive sense, I think it is about the relatedness of all thing, and wishing for relatedness, rather than divisiveness, to have the upper hand in life and in the world at large. In a more cautionary aspect, I think it could be about the tendency to join mobs and majorities just because it feels safe and warm. We don’t like being outside the circle of the campfire, and sometimes will compromise our principles and present a false self to gain or keep a place at the hearth. Not everyone can hack being excluded from the mainstream, but if you’re bending to keep that place in the sun, at least be aware that you’re bending and try to extend your own generosity and warmth to those who can’t or won’t bend. The sun doesn’t discriminate — it shines mindlessly on everyone. Sometimes you can do worse than be as mindless as the sun. Something like that, I think.
