How to sign “Suns” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Suns” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Form a flattened O handshape with your dominant hand, your fingertips rounded and relaxed.
- Hold the O up near the top of your head, like the sun overhead.
- Circle the O hand once, then bring it down an inch or two as you open it wide.
- Let your palm face down as the hand opens, spreading all your fingers.
- Look up toward the hand as you sign, tracking the sun's descent.
