Sun Positions can be found by using Reconnoitre on your current location. If you use any of these in the Employ action, then you can insert a Temptation. If you insert Temptation: Escape you will get Tranquility and if you use Temptation: Defiance you will get Rage. If you do not insert a Temptation then it will turn into a different card dependent on what Sun Position that was used, this is listed below with each Position.

Relaxing
If you put something with comfort in the Employ verb, then you can relax. This will result in it giving you Contentment equal to the object or place's comfort level.

Attacking Reckoners
If you put a weapon or lore in the Employ verb you attack the Reckoner currently on the board. You cannot attack the scout and if there is the Foe and another Reckoner, you will attack the Foe. If you just use the weapon or just your lore, there is a 70% chance that you'll hit and create a wound. If you use both lore and a weapon, there is an 100% chance that you will hit. You can only attack the Foe with Sacred weapons, but can attack other Reckoners with any weapon. Attacking will put any lore or weapons used on cooldown. Any Obscurity you have is destroyed when you attack a Reckoner.

These operations are mostly used for profit and will end in receiving money, no matter if you fail all the challenges or not. Matching the challenge's, , or  increases effectiveness. Each level of effectiveness increases the operation's Funds yield by 1. Matching the challenge's, , or  increases subtlety. Each level of subtlety reduces the chance that the operation will create a trace. If you end the operation with 3 levels of subtlety, you will also be rewarded with an obscurity. You can only gain a level of effectiveness or subtlety with each challenge, you can not get a level of both at once.
