Sun

Sunlight supports all life on earth. Its energy drives our climate and weather. Ultraviolet light from the Sun is cleansing. It’s good for us. It produces vitamin D. Too much sun, though, and we burn. If we stare at the sun, particularly on an eclipse, we can hurt our sight.

This card describes a force for good, but it is most certainly a force. Powerful. Intense.
