Tarot cards are an opportunity to discover the mysterious and unknown. The picture revealed during the interpretation of the layout often fully reflects the state of affairs of the questioner. The appearance of the Devil in a Tarot reading can have a variety of meanings. But most of them have negative connotations.

The card shows the Devil sitting on a stone. It is in the center of the image. On the sides of the stone are a man and a woman, depicted chained to the “throne” of the demon.

The main meaning of the Devil Tarot is the dark forces that take over the human mind.. This can be either a harmful attraction in your personal life or a thirst for material wealth. It all depends on the layout in which the card turns out to be, as well as on its position and other nuances. Often the card also speaks of abuse of power. For example, about the desire for dominance, power and greed.

In the Egyptian Tarot, this card corresponds to Typhon, an ancient monster identified with Set. The God of Evil was depicted in the form of a reptile and acted as the personification of dark forces and at the same time wisdom.

The image of the Devil on the Egyptian Tarot is somewhat different from the classical one. The card depicts a demon whose appearance is crowned with wings and a tail. Some versions include Adam and Eve, who can be seen on the Lovers card. They are also chained.

The Devil card is at the head of the third septenary of the Major Arcana. In the zodiac series, she is identified with the zodiac sign Capricorn. The card symbolizes “temptations” - attractions that are silent about, but they are announced in the most unexpected way. There is no need to fight them. It is enough to accept their existence.

Straight position

Negative meaning of the card The devil shows the harmful attractions of man. She points to processes that he is not able to control, but becomes their victim.

The appearance of this Arcana in a reading may also mean that someone is looming over a person who seeks to control him. Suppressed by other people's influence, a person takes the wrong path, becoming a victim of carnal desires and base thoughts.

Some tarot readers are inclined to argue that the Devil in the reading personifies a person’s dark past, his deeds and fears. The lasso can also demonstrate the difficulties awaiting a person in the future. It symbolizes whims that a person cannot refuse, phenomena that interfere with the implementation of plans.

But you need to interpret the card based on the layout in which it fell. Its meaning will most likely be negative, but will indicate the sphere in which the “demon” is present.

Inverted position

Oddly enough, the alignment where the Devil is inverted takes on a positive interpretation. The Tarot, the meaning of which must be read by the position of the cards, reports that the reversed position indicates victory over the “dark” side. A person will be able to overcome temptations, fears and get rid of addiction. The set heights will be achieved, despite external pressure and bonds that fetter the consciousness.

The inverted 15th lasso of the Devil suggests that low feelings and material dependence will be relegated to the background. The individual will be able to recognize the value and power of his soul, detaching himself from worldly needs.

If a person is identified with negative forces, an inverted shaitan can mean the collapse of plans. The man will soon be exposed for his evil intentions. If an individual acts as a homewrecker, dominant or dominant, then the inverted Devil promises him disaster.

Card of the day

The Devil card of the day means that an unpleasant event awaits a person. Internal “demons” will help you cope with the situation. Traits and motives that a person carefully hid will make themselves felt and help solve the problem.

Today is the day of the struggle between good and evil. They will fight inside a person. It depends on the winner what experience a person will gain in the current situation.

On this day you will have to resort not only to good intentions, but also to ask for help from your dark desires. Only in this way can a person achieve self-sufficiency. There is no need to suppress your harmful desires today. Use them for good, but do not become a slave to lower feelings.

The card means that the individual has become acquainted with his secret desires and, perhaps, has become a slave to them. The Devil card demonstrates low personality traits, so a person dependent on the “demon” may suffer from drunkenness, be an unreliable partner, or simply a liar.

At the mental level, the Devil can talk about some fixed idea that a person is obsessed with. The meaning may also be based on an incorrect worldview, when a person looks for the reason for his failures in other people, foreign phenomena and things beyond his control. In fact, the problem lies within himself, and the Devil talks about this in the reading.

The meaning of the card in the layout:

• Worldly concerns with negative connotations;
• Addictions;
• Secret desires.

Sphere of relationships

The prediction takes on an ambiguous interpretation if the Devil Tarot card appears in the layout of personal relationships. Its importance in relationships is enormous.. For single individuals, the symbol promises a quick meeting with a partner. Such an event should be regarded as a gift of fate, because this relationship will be full of passion and love.

The problem may be that there will be no spiritual unity in this couple. The partners will be controlled by lust and carnal desires. The moral side of the relationship will gather dust in the background, which will lead to a short relationship.

If the Devil is present in fortune telling for a specific couple, man or woman, disappointment is hidden in it. Demon means that one of the partners views the relationship from a consumer point of view. One of the individuals becomes depressed and humiliated.

The Devil card in the Tarot, whose meaning is still negative, can also mean betrayal for a particular couple. Perhaps one of the partners has an affair on the side. The devil personifies lies, but at the same time also wisdom, so it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to expose the deceiver.

If the Chariot or the Emperor is present in the layout, then this relationship is full of jealousy and power. Emotional dependence in this case borders on slavery at the psychological level.

The appearance of the Devil in a work chart is evidence that difficult trials await the person. It's time to find out what is stopping you from achieving success. It will also become known in whose power the individual is, who suppresses her desire for achievement.

Getting rid of oppression is impossible without drastic changes. A person will have to give up his prejudices and betray his picture of the world.

The devil can also mean a bad deal. The person will be drawn into dubious schemes based on corruption, document forgery or theft. These affairs will be accompanied by intrigue, betrayal and lies. The outcome of cases is known in advance. In the best case, a person will lose a large sum, but he may also face a meeting with the law.

The meaning of the Devil Tarot in the reading may show a passion for dubious matters. A connection with prostitution and occult sciences is possible. Possibly also an attitude towards politics.

If the fortuneteller asked a question about making a big profit, then the Devil in this situation means a positive answer. If a question was asked about methods of making a profit, then the shaitan indicates enrichment through dishonest means. The person who receives the money profits from the work of others.

. Moreover, a person can have the strongest energy and reserves of strength. The trouble is that the demon hints at the irrational waste of these resources.

There is an urgent need to change our lifestyle. Bad habits, poor lifestyle and addictions can very soon undermine good health. You should listen to your body and take care of yourself.

The devil can also mean that a person is under powerful damage. The neighboring arcana in the layout will help refute or confirm this guess.

A combination of negative arcana in large quantities may indicate damage to death. Venereal diseases, terrible illnesses and mental disorders are also possible.

Attention, TODAY only!

One of the darkest Major Arcana, whose appearance in a reading usually frightens beginners, is the Devil Tarot. We will look at the meaning of this card in detail today to understand whether you really should be afraid of it, what life changes it brings and what it can mean in combination with other Arcana. On the one hand, the archetype of the Devil is familiar to each of us, but on the other hand, something truly fatal is not always hidden in the interpretation of the fifteenth Arcana. Often the card acts as a kind of warning. But let's talk about everything in order.

General description of the card, plot and meaning in the layout

So, what will the Devil Tarot be according to the Rider-Waite meaning? In order to understand this, it is worth taking a closer look at the Arcana storyline. In the illustration we see the figure of the Prince of Darkness occupying the main part of the map. Devil, Fallen Angel, Baphomet, Horned God, Pan - all these are the names of the central character of the fifteenth Arcana. At the feet of the Devil stand two naked human figures - a man and a woman, most likely Adam and Eve. People are chained to the throne on which the Fallen Angel sits with iron chains, horns are visible on the characters' heads, and tails are visible behind them. What does this mean? Most likely, the souls of these people were tempted, they stood on the dark side of the force, they are overcome by some kind of addictions that do not allow them to free themselves from the power of the Devil. But exactly how these passions will manifest themselves in real life must be judged by the surrounding cards.

Key words and card ideas in layouts

Let's look at the meaning and interpretation of the Devil Tarot card through capacious key concepts:

• Indulgence
• The path of degradation and self-destruction
• Abuse of your power
• Cruelty
• Base instincts
• Bad influence
• Unseemly actions
• Addictions, vices
• "Playing with fire"

Meaning of the Devil card in upright position

In short, under the influence of the Devil, the situation becomes dangerous. When this card comes, a person seems to be on the brink, beyond which lies the inevitable destruction of anything. If we look at the sequence of Arcana, we will see that the Devil destroys the harmony that reigns in the Temperance card, and as a result, all this leads us to the Tower. Based on the 15th Arcana alone, it is difficult to determine what exactly we are talking about - in most cases, you need to get an additional card, since self-destruction can also take place under the Devil (for example, drug or alcohol addiction, a vicious lifestyle, promiscuity or sexual deviations) , and base manifestations towards other people (cruelty, obsession, love addiction, imprisonment, unseemly acts that destroy the lives of others). In a word, the Devil is always a “slippery slope”, once on which it is very difficult to return to normal life.

The meaning of the card in an inverted position

The meaning of the reversed Devil Tarot can be viewed in two aspects. The first is liberation from harmful addictions, a return to normal life, curbing one’s own vices and successfully getting rid of them. The second is complete collapse, when vices and addictions take over a person and completely deprive him of his strength. How exactly to read the reverse Arcana depends on your personal perception. For example, it seems to us that the first variation is more appropriate, since the second can easily be described by another card, for example, the Tower. But here, as they say, there are as many opinions as there are tarot readers.

The meaning of the Arcana Devil in relationships and love

The meaning of the Devil Tarot in relationships can take many forms. A lot depends here on the question on which the card fell and the general situation.

Straight position

The Direct Arcanum often falls on events about which they say “the devil has beguiled.” These are casual intimate relationships on the side, betrayal, falling into the trap of vicious relationships, various sexual deviations. Also “in the power” of the fifteenth Arcana are such unpleasant aspects of love relationships as manipulation of a partner, pathological jealousy, cruelty, the desire to subjugate a loved one, to literally make a “slave” of him, various types of tyranny, as well as love addiction. Often under the Devil there are also karmic relationships in the bad sense of the word, when people meet because they “messed up” in a past life - and are now forced to torment each other.

Inverted position

The reverse card can be read as getting rid of the situation created by the direct Arcanum, as well as its aggravation, when there is simply no way back for a person. To figure out what exactly we are talking about, pull out the clarifying cards.

The card represents a feverish obsession, a strong passion that brings harm to a person. Lack of conscience, dishonest acquisitions, loss of self-control due to temptations and desires. It may also indicate the irreversibility of dependence (drug addiction).

Personal Description

The Devil Tarot card represents obsession. How strong it is will be shown by other cards in the layout. A person is influenced by a strong emotion, idea, fear, which has a destructive effect on him. In spiritual development, the card indicates a person’s collision with his shadow, with the darkness of his soul, which influences him. A person undergoes a test during which a person either evolves or completely collapses. You need to accept your dark side, even if you can't control it yet.

A person is stuck in his grievances and emotions. He always thinks about how to take revenge, steal, do something bad, and sometimes he has thoughts of murder. A person does not think at all about the consequences of his actions. He lives by his “fix” idea, he needs to quickly do a bad action, commit an offense or a crime, and then come what may.

Weak will, self-indulgence and desires, the mind is clouded. Every person has a weak point. In the horoscope it is called Lilith.

Uncontrollable sexual impulses, cruelty, destruction, self-destruction. Pathological addictions and avoidance.

The Devil card represents both pleasure and torment, but the result is always deplorable. Sometimes a person understands that this is all wrong, but the Devil tempts and shows a glossy picture. Therefore, it is difficult for a person to resist and fight.

A person depends on his comfort and is not going to leave this zone. This is expressed in an obsession with sex, things and jewelry, in greed and immaturity, laziness. Dependence on another person. A person indulges his weaknesses, sometimes he wants to “be different from everyone else” and do “something like that.”

The meaning of the Devil in various layouts

For career and work

The card indicates tests of strength and intelligence. A man fell into slavery from his activities, he invested a lot in it, his whole soul. This is a symbol of large egregors. Politics, science, show business. Great dependence on another person, pressure from outside on the questioner. Circumstances force a person to do things that he will regret in the future.

Tarot card Devil, the meaning indicates the risk of betraying your beliefs, becoming dependent on someone, compromising evidence. Points to an easily controlled person. A person cannot act as he wants, he is forced to obey. Getting into dubious companies. Cheating at work or in business. From the outside everything looks favorable, but under the guise of decency there is a deceiver and a swindler.

Human rights violations, intrigue, lies and manipulation. Data falsification, theft, shady deals, corruption. A workaholic, a careerist who goes over his head to achieve what he wants. He forgets about human qualities, he doesn’t care what happens next, the main thing is to get what he wants.

Practicing black magic, prostitution, fraud. Bad advisers, struggle for power. Political struggle, religious sects. Failure in business due to someone else's actions. Someone wants to harm the questioner. A fatal coincidence of circumstances, a person cannot act at his own discretion.

For finances and property

Achieving wealth is not a pure way. Profit, corruption, commercialism. Give money at a high interest rate. A person directs all his strength to achieving material wealth, he has a great thirst for wealth, and is fixated on the “good life.” Degradation of the soul and man in the pursuit of wealth. Financial fraud, speculation.

For love and relationships

Devil Tarot, meaning in relationships - a person has lost his head because of love. The card indicates a married person who constantly “walks to the left.” The mind is clouded, lust predominates. The person “loses his head” and cannot assess the situation sensibly. Fatal connection.

Often the Devil card speaks of an unhealthy addiction.

The shadow side manifests itself in all its power. It evokes primitive instincts and makes you lose yourself. Relationships are built on emotional dependence, tyranny, they will completely destroy. He does not see this and does not want to, he is so involved in fatal love that he has lost caution and vigilance.

Such relationships are built between immature people who have never learned to build harmonious relationships based on mutual understanding and trust, and not on sadomasochism. Temptation, suppression from a partner. Control, imposes your thoughts, intimidates. Jealousy, carnal pleasures, violent passion, short romance. A person will then regret this connection all his life. Hopelessness will develop into melancholy, then into protracted, chronic depression.

The card indicates a karmic, inevitable connection. Rock, predestination of fate. The presence of the Devil indicates a fatal outcome, fatal circumstances in life, fate.

The map shows that a vicious relationship occurred in past incarnations (lives) and now a continuation follows. Between souls there are unfulfilled promises, violence, love spells, magic, difficulties, all this binds them, and they will work off karma.

The person is stuck in sexual experiences, so this drags him into the relationship even more. He wants to get out of this situation, but doesn't know how. The card indicates that such a connection arose as a result of love spells and magical effects. A person is obsessed with another because he is “tied” to him by magic. The partner plays with the questioner. He tortures him, binds him to himself, tries to return him or take revenge. Hate and love in one bottle. The questioner's partner is a tyrant and tyrant. These relationships will destroy a person, you need to bring light into them.

A person accepts his fate. He believes that this is his destiny. And he begins to run around in search of psychologists, teachers and healers who would help him sort out difficult relationships. He feels that everything that is happening is passion, mania, obsession, deprivation of will, but he cannot do anything about it. A person does not let go of his partner and does not accept him for who he is. The conflict remains unchanged.

The card indicates divorce, when a person breaks off contact with the tyrant and his tormentor. Tactfulness is completely absent, the manifestation of all unpleasant traits.

For health status

External influence. Damage, evil eye, conspiracy to illness and failure. Dependence on alcohol, drugs, smoking, sexually transmitted diseases. If there are other negative cards in the layout, it can mean death.

Meaning of the reversed Devil card

The Devil Tarot reversed has a favorable meaning. Liberation from addiction, fears, bad habits. Overcoming spiritual barriers, shackles, breaking a vicious connection. A person takes the path of truth and begins to get rid of vices and bad company. He came to know his soul, himself and moved away from the consumerist attitude towards life. For swindlers and deceivers, the card symbolizes exposure and retribution.

Combinations with other cards

It is believed that if the Tarot Devil in combination appears surrounded by good cards, then one can assume an unseemly situation in which it will be possible to safely evade retribution.

• With the Jester - freedom from addictions and commercialism;
• With the Priestess - a bad sign;
• With the Chariot - new opportunities open up to achieve what you want, troubles do not directly threaten, but still, when making a choice, you need to carefully calculate the consequences;
• With Justice - this is not the time to search for the whole truth, some time must pass to restore justice, now it will not work anyway;
• Star - overcoming fears, temptations and hesitations, but not by willpower, but thanks to the true purity of nature and the protection of higher powers;
• With the Sun - an indicator of a damn charming personality, capable of charming to the point of stupor, arousing instant and almost uncontrollable affection and willingness to serve his interests. Blinding with passion and delight, readiness to follow an essentially dangerous person to the ends of the earth. He is truly charming and has a bright side. And he is truly dangerous, in every sense.
• With the Court - ruinous legal costs;
• With the Four of Wands - the card is also believed to bring freedom;
• With the Seven of Cups - a bad combination, indicates over-dependence on something (sex, alcohol, games or the like), waste of money, unbridled self-indulgence;

In readings, this card does not bode well. If you have just recently become acquainted with the Tarot, the first thing you need to do is study the drawings on the card. I start any review based on the classic Rider-White deck. I recommend it to all beginners

The 15th lasso is depicted on a black background. Although the thirteenth lasso would be more suitable for this card. This is darkness in all areas of life. When you do a Tarot reading: “Yes-No,” the Devil appears, then the answer is “No.”

The 15th Arcana of the Tarot depicts the Devil next to two naked people. Somewhat reminiscent of the motive , only with a big difference. There is no angel overhead. The choice has already been made. Both men decided to choose the dark side. A man looks at a beautiful female body. He gave in to temptation.

Nudity in this lasso speaks of a person’s weakness. He has no protection. It’s not for nothing that dreams where we undress or are naked often mean health problems and losses.

The horns on people's heads and the chain symbolize submission to the Devil. And in ordinary life, to our vices and weaknesses. Many tarot readers compare Lovers and the Devil. And they talk about choice. In the fifteenth lasso there is no choice. There is an addiction that you have no strength to resist.

The woman's tail tip represents a bunch of grapes, symbolizing abundance. On the 15th arcana of a man, the tip of his tail is depicted in the form of a light, which symbolizes fire and passion, masculine strength, energy. The Devil sets it on fire with a huge torch.

The image of the Devil itself is a mixture of different animals - the paws of a bird of prey, the legs of a ram, the torso of a man, the wings of a bat, the head and horns of a goat. This suggests that evil can appear before us in different guises and images.

There is a pentagram above the Devil's head. Symbol of power. Only it is upside down - this is a symbol of Satan. Although previously the pentagram was considered a protective sign. This once again proves his power over people.

From an astrological perspective, the Devil Tarot card is associated with Lilith or the Sun aspects of Neptune.

15 lasso - meaning

Tarot Devil always means addictions and temptations that we cannot cope with. This is a card of captivity from which you need to get out. When she is in a situation, it is difficult to control your actions and emotions. A person is under the power of his own fears and complexes.

From a karmic point of view, -15 tarot lasso speaks of the wrong choice of life path. Temptations from past lives and power and skills do not allow you to develop. A person cannot solve his karmic problems. He lives along the South Node, the path of least resistance. It also brings fatal situations. Fatum. Where you cannot influence the situation. You are a prisoner of Fate.

In a reading for the future, the Devil tarot means personal degradation. This is not a black streak. A person will not feel a deterioration in living conditions. This can be a period of fun and idle life.

On the other hand, the 15th lasso in the layout means a warning. You are going down the wrong path. You “sin” a lot. It's worth stopping and thinking. Situations occur as if someone were controlling the person. It could be a real person, a group of people, a cult, or just a crazy idea. You may have a mentor in your life who teaches you the wrong things.

The Devil Tarot card often signifies the influence of addictions on our lives. Everything that controls us pulls the strings. This card is manipulation. You are not in control of the situation. Words usually differ from actions. Every person has a dark side to their personality. Tarot Devil brings out all our fears, negative character traits, the other side of the coin.

In a relationship reading, the 15th lasso shows dependence on a partner. Strong attraction, passion, uncontrollable desires, clinging. It’s hard for you to get rid of, to end the relationship. You are links in one chain. It takes a lot to get rid of attraction. Tarot Devil in a relationship shows manipulation on the part of the partner, power over you. But at the same time, passion and base instincts awaken.

In professional terms, the 15th lasso means falling under bad influence. Thirst for money, an idle life. For this, a person is ready to circumvent the law. He can carry out shady transactions and transfer money to hidden bank accounts. Corruption, engaging in sinful deeds.

The devil is upside down.

This is one of those cases where a card in a reversed position is much better than the upright value. The fifteenth lasso of the tarot shows freedom from chains, liberation from influence, the end of the black streak. The man found the strength to overcome addictions and throw unnecessary people out of life. This is the period of the end of degradation. Lesson learned. Now he is the master of his life.

Combination with other cards.

In combination with other cards of the 15 Arcana Tarot, the Devil shows the “other side of the coin”, the forbidden, dark part of any area. It also means the influence of the card. Often this card shows the reversed meaning of another card

How often do we see this monster with goat horns when we lay out Tarot cards. The “devil” - the personification of hell and death - is terrifying and frightening. It does not bode well during fortune telling either. The card has a negative meaning and promises continuous troubles in the future.

Description

The representative of the major arcana, the fifteenth in a row, is the “Devil”. Tarot, the meaning of the layout of which changes depending on the position of the cards, connects human fears and vices with this mythical figure. The picture usually shows a huge black figure of Satan sitting on a throne. The royal place has the shape of a cube, which symbolizes the power of an evil force that extends its influence to the world of living people. The monster has a goat's head - a sign of tyranny; in the middle of its forehead there is a pentagram, which indicates the destructive principle descending into the material world.

The body of the lord of darkness is decorated with wool - the embodiment of animal nature. The bat wings that flaunt behind are interpreted as a demonic essence, a bloodthirsty nature. The monster holds a torch in his hand - this is the flame of unholy human temptations and passions that corrode not only the physical shell, but also the soul, heart, and mind. Next to Satan are a naked man and woman. They are chained with shackles: they can throw them off, but they do not. The couple symbolizes the human race, which voluntarily, succumbing to temptation, binds itself to everything material. Chains are a symbol of false choice.

Map upright

What does the “Devil” appear in a Tarot reading mean? In the upright position, he presents to us the entire negative underside of human consciousness: self-interest, commercialism, self-deception, dependence, weak will, doom, as well as violence, anger and destruction. Sometimes the card is interpreted as a surge of necessary strength to deal with troubles that unexpectedly befall one’s head. But in most cases, this is a trap into which a fortuneteller can fall due to the evil intent of others or due to current circumstances. The reason for this is harmful passion, low desires that cloud the consciousness.

The card often falls out to those people who are very concerned about their material well-being. It symbolizes attachment to money, dependence on profit. Such individuals are captive of instincts. “The Devil” serves as a warning: you need to get rid of such character traits - craving for wealth, power and unholy physical intimacy. Otherwise they will lead to death.

Inverted "Devil"

If the card is upside down, how does this change the interpretation of the Tarot? The "Devil" inverted, unlike other representatives of the magic deck, retains its meaning. This is all the same devastation, mental weakness, evil fate, dependence, collapse of intentions, pettiness and submission to fate. A person who sees Satan in such a position must prepare for illness, a strong blow, an imminent disaster, which can befall both professional relationships and personal life, friendships.

The inverted “Devil” indicates bondage, which will certainly lead to disappointment, mental disorders and even suicide. Despite all the negativity, the card also has a positive meaning. In some cases, it means strengthening the spirit and will, overcoming fear and doubt, throwing off shackles and destroying obstacles in order to achieve the desired goal. The picture can be interpreted as stiffness, a bad habit, which makes a person immobile and prevents him from developing.

Relationship fortune telling

When it comes to personal life, the “Devil” card in the Tarot has a special interpretation: the meaning is enriched with notes of sensuality. Such a picture is a sign of teasing flirtation, crazy passion, carnal desires. But this does not mean that the person is already in captivity. Perhaps the card only warns the fortuneteller about the dangers that lie in wait along the way. They can bring chaos to your normal existence, so be careful - don’t play with fire! Satan can also indicate betrayal, betrayal, moral or physical violence in the family.

When the “Devil” (Tarot) is in an upright position, the meaning in a relationship is: lack of understanding and respect between partners. She is a sign of conflicts and quarrels, aggression and base instincts. Perhaps the fortuneteller is highly dependent on the other half: financially, sexually or morally. As for the inverted card, it symbolizes fatigue from communication, incompatibility of the couple, undeserved grievances, unnecessary humility and patience.

Schedule for work

When a person makes fortunes about a career using the Tarot, the “Devil” can act as a warning. It foreshadows a temptation that you may succumb to in order to reach the top through dishonest and even criminal means. This may be a bad act that is contrary to moral values ​​and spiritual principles. There is a danger of getting into bad company and getting involved in a “dirty” scam. In this case, the crime can be disguised as a noble cause, painted with rainbow colors and good intentions.

If the Devil is upright, your beliefs will be tested. Get ready to defend your point of view so as not to stumble on the path to your dream. This could be an offer from a partner to engage in a very profitable, but illegal business. As for the card in an inverted position, it is a symbol of gluttony for power, fanaticism and worship of material wealth. You may abuse your power to climb the career ladder. Remember: your goals are false. It's better to stop and choose a different path.

Health

In a well-being scenario, the card can also describe your lifestyle. If the “Devil” appears, the Tarot assigns the following meaning to it: addiction to alcohol or drugs. You have acquired a whole bunch of bad habits and character traits, which makes your existence destructive and miserable. There is a risk of completely losing your health or contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Your main task is to resist this evil. Resist and quickly get rid of vices. Better switch to the one that haunts you.

A map upside down makes virtually no difference. This is still the same immoral way of life, filled with alcoholic drinks and intoxicants. In such a situation, Tarot advises you to stop and look at yourself from the outside: who have you become? low creature is you? Where is that strong and strong-willed person who is able to overcome any obstacles? Hurry up and start a new life. Now is the time to throw off the shackles and change your behavior strategy.

Layout for the situation

If, when fortune telling for a certain event, the Tarot card “Devil” appears, this means that you are in captivity of illusions. By striving for a goal, you deceive not only yourself, but also those around you. The point is that you are dependent on the situation, convincing yourself how much you need it and how important it is. Actually, you are wrong. It's good if the card falls out in a straight position. This indicates that events may have a favorable outcome. But on the way to triumph you will face many disappointments, difficulties and dangers. Is it worth going through them for an imaginary goal? The choice is yours.

An inverted card, on the contrary, warns against further actions. It's better to give up plans - it's not your thing. You risk investing a huge amount of effort and not achieving success, even the slightest. Precious time and all accumulated capital will be wasted. Better do something else. This is a chance to improve things, “absorb” new energy and fresh ideas, and receive the blessing of heaven. Your finest hour has not yet come. Relax and get some rest.

Consciousness

The interpretation of the Devil Tarot card in this context indicates that you are now in an unenlightened state. The activity of the mind is limited, thinking slows down. But there is no need to despair, the card marks a transitional stage in your life. She also warns about rash decisions that you may unknowingly make now. There is no need to act - go underground. “Devil” also indicates that at the current stage a person adheres to false principles. It's time to let go of the burden and update your understanding of the world. Listen to your inner voice: it will guide you on the right path.

The card can symbolize temptation. There is a risk of falling under the influence of others, being fascinated by magic, and breaking under the influence of physical force. The turn of events creates for you a situation of dependence, blind worship. Sometimes we are even talking about sadism or masochism. Be carefull. Only you are the master of your destiny, and no one has the right to dictate their terms to you.

Combination with other cards

“Neighbors” in the layout also affect the “Devil” card. The Tarot combination in the major arcana is always negative:

• Tendency to bad habits, immoral acts - with “The Jester”, “Wheel of Fortune”, “Moderation”, “Hermit”, “Death”.
• The presence in life of a negative and bad person manipulating your destiny - with the “Magician”, “High Priestess”, “Hierophant”.
• Shadow income, illegal business, corruption - with “Empress”, “Emperor”, “Justice”, “Hanged Man”, “Tower”, “Moon”.
• Violence, destructive passion - with “Chariot”, “Lovers”, “Strength.

In contrast, the Star, Sun, Judgment and Peace cards slightly soften the negative meaning of the Devil, indicating possible hope and a bright ray at the end of the tunnel. As for combinations with the minor arcana, in tandem with virtually all cards Satan indicates depravity, deception, intrigues and problems.
