The Devil
The Devil card signals a powerful mix of liberated desire and risky attachments: it can usher in sexual or personal revolutions and allow you to articulate shameful desires without fear. However, its gifts come at a cost, as those who seem fun and charming may be selfish, self-absorbed, or even violent, and you may recognize these tendencies in yourself. In relationships, the Devil warns to proceed with caution—unknown factors or projection and self-doubt can undermine long-term potential, and negative consequences can feel sudden despite obvious red flags. When the Devil appears as another person, be wary; when it represents you, expect a taste of your wild side and a heightened awareness of money's role.

Overview
The Devil is a complex card. On one hand, it can usher a sexual revolution into your life. You may be able to articulate desires that previously made you feel shame, or practice getting what you want without fear of judgment. Yet everything comes at a price. The fun and charming people around you may also be selfish, self-absorbed, or even violent. You may also see yourself acting in these ways.
Romantic Relationships
When the Devil pertains to romantic relationships, proceed with caution. There's something you don't know about this pairing that could destroy its long-term potential. The Devil's negative consequences can feel unexpected even when there are glaring red flags. Keep your head on straight. You could also be poisoning your own relationship with projection and self-doubt, so make sure your side of the street is clean.
Personification and Self
If the Devil appears in your reading as another person, watch your back. When the Devil represents you, it delivers you a taste of your own wild side, including a greater respect for and acknowledgment of the role money plays in your life.
Visual Description
A horned, goat-like humanoid stands on a short pedestal, its body patterned with scales or fur and a small flame hovering above its head. Large bat-style wings with lace-like membranes spread behind it while the figure holds a flaming torch in one hand and raises the other in a gesture. Two small winged creatures fly near its sides, stars and stylized flowers fill the blue background, and the card border reads 'XV LE DIABLE' at the bottom.
