Hospital
Healing, vulnerability, need for care
Sun
Vitality, consciousness, success
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
