The Devil
The Devil represents the aspects of our lives and personality that keep us in material and mental dependence. This card symbolizes situations where we feel trapped by circumstances or habits, but reminds us that many of our difficulties and limitations are created by our subconscious or result from our own decisions. When reversed, it indicates growing awareness of our captive state and the potential to break free from unhealthy patterns and negative restrictions.

Upright Meaning
The Devil stands before a huge shelf filled with vessels containing captivating potions. This card symbolizes those aspects of our lives and personality that keep us in material and mental dependence. You may feel trapped by a situation or habit, but this is not a case where blame can be shifted to external forces. The Devil makes it clear that many difficulties and limitations are created by our subconscious or have become the result of decisions we have made. Perhaps you are too absorbed in some idea, project, or goal. Of course, in this case it is quite natural to focus your energy on them, but you should not forget the need to preserve relationships with people.
Reversed Meaning
The reversed Devil indicates that you are becoming aware of your captive position. Perhaps unhealthy relationships or exhausting work situations will finally lose their power over you. Or maybe it's that you find yourself too close to dangerous temptations. Be more careful and look at your obligations in a new way. This is a time requiring increased attention—use it to your advantage to free yourself from negative restrictions in your life.
