the devil

Keywords: Self-doubt, Addiction, Excess

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn 

Ruling Planet : Saturn

The Devil is all about bondage, addictions and fear. Now that our fool is steady on the path she is met by some temptation. She may be longing for the past after her new transition.

As you can see we have The Lovers in this card, however this time they are tied up and bound to the devil. If you look closely however, you can see that they can easily free themselves. They are in fact bound by will, not by force.

This card calls for you to let go of whatever is holding you back. You might find that during this time you’ve been relying on sex, alcohol or any other temporary feel good substance to drown out the things that are affecting you emotionally. The Devil reminds us that we are in control of our lives, and in order to move forward we must recognise our set-backs, work through them and have confidence in ourselves. The Devil could also be seen as a false prophet or our ego playing trick on us. 

On a less intense note, The Devil can speak to our desire for structure, order and hard work. Bear in mind that this is also the card for Capricorn, and you know what they say, The Devil is one hell of a hard worker...as are my Capricorn sisters!
