The Fool and The Sun together in a reading

How to read them together

Two cards together don't simply add up: they qualify each other. In a spread, The Fool and The Sun are read by each card's position (what question each answers) and by which comes first: the first sets the theme and the second refines, reinforces or challenges it. Read each card on its own first — both cited meanings are below — then ask what story they tell in that order.
