The Sun can be about ego.
And childishness. Selfishness, but that kind of selfishness which arises out of innocence - thoughtlessness.
Or a simplistic, black-n-white view of life.
Or the centre - someone taking centre stage, or taking up all the space that should be shared.
... the cuckoo in the nest sometimes.
As well as scorching, dehydrating (deserts, barrenness, and lack of Cups' emotions/soul/sympathy); burning; as many have already said.
_____________________________________
To avoid biasing my interpretation with wishful thinking, if the subject matters to me, I "rehearse" the cards I would like to see in certain positions - AND those I dread seeing. For example if I were reading for myself about a relationship that I didn't want to end, while shuffling I'd probably think of the Lovers, the 2 of Cups, that kind of thing in the outcome position; then I'd make myself consider how it would be if Death came up, or the 10 of Swords, etc. (Justice or Judgement will always make me uneasy too, in that kind of context.)
It's rare that a card I've "rehearsed" like this actually shows up where I thought about it. But this somehow sorts me out in my own mind, gets me clear on what is my wish and what isn't. Like freeing the part of me that faces unpleasant truths, just practising, before I know whether I do have to face any.
