The Devil

Additional deck interpretation:

The Devil indicates a path of temptation and confusion as you continue your journey through the seventy-eight passageways of growth. This is the level on your continuous cycle of change where you need to learn to control your impulses instead of allowing them to control you.

You may became ensnared in a web of constraint and illusion and lose your ability to resist temptation if you give in to your desires without thinking about the consequences.


It's also possible that you were conned by someone you thought cared about you and thus were blind to their true intentions.

The Devil does not have a great deal of power over you, but will try to entice you to do things you normally would not do, possibly luring you down the wrong road when you cannot see through his illusions.

You might end up relinquishing control and get trapped, or give your power away and find yourself beset by ills. You should not fear the Devil, but rather yourself.

The Devil is associated with something or someone who has a lot of power and control over you and is difficult to resist. When you give into temptations, you will be chained to your desires for that which harms and you might end up in a very sticky web. Always remember, you can easily escape the web of bondage if you want too!

Numerical Number 15: The Devil's 15 consists of: 1 (a new beginning) + 5 (the unpredictable lifestyle change) = 6 (making a heartfelt decision to connect with the right relationship).

The Element of Earth: The Devil is associated with the zodiac sign of Capricorn (ambition to control) and the planet Saturn (the taskmaster, but also the planet of restrictions).


Probable Outcome: You may be chained to your addictions or to a controlling relationship that is not good for you. You could be stuck in a sticky web of bondage because you are not ready to make the changes you need to make, or you might not be able to see through the illusions enveloping you.

Perhaps you are too close to someone and cannot not see the lies they are telling you, or someone might be working against you and you cannot see through their false smiles or broken promises.

It's also possible that you are ready to take a risk and cut yourself loose to live for the moment and give in to your sexual desires because you are lusting for another person.

When surrounded by positive cards, the Devil could mean the person you are seeing may make a commitment that will lead to marriage.

Possible Outcome: You are ready to start a meaningful relationship that leads to marriage and will change your lifestyle.

You might be ready to get help with an addiction problem.

You are not stuck in some illusion. You can see everything clearly and will not let others use you or control you.

Then again, you might not be able to channel the Devil's energies into your life at this time. If this is the case, you might want to end a relationship because your feelings have vanished. You might want a divorce, or want to liberate yourself and leave the sticky web of bondage and a relationship that is not right for you.

Timing: The Devil predicts that an important event may occur within the next 30 days.
