The Sun
Astrology: Sun | Element: Fire | Hebrew: ר (Resh) | Kabbalah: 30. Resh 【Glory - Foundation】
As winter night arrives, I draw the heavy curtains on the balcony, lay down thick carpets, and clutch my favorite teddy bear, retreating into the warmth I have built for myself. In the cold night, these are all she can rely on. As morning comes, sunlight slips through the gaps in the curtains. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows them open, and sunlight floods the entire world with gold. The sun, like a benevolent angel, parts the curtains and brings the warmest, most radiant colors of the world into the attic. In this moment, an embrace becomes the smallest sun of all.

Advice: Warmth has not yet filled the entire room—you must cooperate by opening the curtains wider. Let sunlight spread throughout, adjust your attire (your state), and reexamine your goals and expectations to ensure real-world feasibility. Do not merely point out problems—overcome them through reflection and self-improvement.
