The Devil Tarot Card Meaning

temptationattachmentmaterialism

🌙 The Devil: Overall

Upright This is the moment to notice how tightly you're bound to something. The chains of attachment are ones you forged yourself, so awareness is the very start of freedom.

Reversed This is a flow where you release what held you and begin to break free. The more you recognize the bind, the lighter you can become.

💗 The Devil: Love

Upright The attraction is strong, but it just as easily tips into obsession and dependence. Only by examining what's ensnaring you does the relationship grow healthy.

Reversed This is a season of slowly breaking free from feelings that had you tangled. Set down the dependence and you can see the relationship more clearly.

✨ The Devil: Work & money

Upright Fixation on immediate gain or comfort can narrow your view. You need to look squarely at the real nature of the temptation holding you.

Reversed This is a flow of escaping the conditions that bound you and reclaiming your freedom. Break the habit that ensnared you and new options open up.

🤝 The Devil: Relationships

Upright It's easy to lose your balance by getting too bound up in one particular relationship. Only by reclaiming a healthy distance do you both grow at ease.

Reversed This is a season of untying the knot of a relationship that held you. Let go of the attachment and the bond becomes far lighter and freer.
