The Sun Reversed, well the Upright card is such an optimistic card what can the reversed suggest to us, perhaps it is saying that we have not achieved that inner illumination and that all our inner joy has disappeared to be replaced with the need to show ourself as important - remember the Upright Sun has no need to prove himself, he already knows his own worth, but the reversed is missing that sense of himself and needs to be in the front or the lime light in order to fill a deeper sense of insecurity.

This upside down position could be telling you that you are being too arrogant, or over confident, that you may lack the necessary sensitivity towards others needs, to the point where you put your own needs in front of everyone else's.

Sounds like the Sun's burnt you a bit eh!

Of course if the upright suggests success and achievement, then this ill dignified position may well suggest delays, misjudgment and potential failure  :smt010  

Another aspect of this reversed card is that the need to enjoy life, becomes a real need, the Sun can reflect as a child like attitude and perhaps here it is saying that one refuses to take responsibility for themselves,  always going to achieve some goal, but not just yet - this can  hint at a immature attitude to life.

However this is card number 19 and when added together become 1+9 = 10 an ending and a beginning, this  also it breaks down to  1+0 =1 and here we are again  back to will power and self assertion - so perhaps the way to turn this card around again is to break away from one mode of behaviour by using your will power and assert yourself in a positive way  in order to begin again. :smt002
