The questioner's capabilities: The Devil

The Devil

Upright meaning:

The Devil is all about:

• bondage
• materialism
• self-destruction.

When The Devil card shows up upright, it's not as spooky as it sounds, but it's definitely a heads-up. This card points out that you might be feeling stuck or unsatisfied due to unhealthy attachments or behaviors that are more in control of you than you are of them. You could be sabotaging your own progress through fixations on material goods, luxury, or even substance abuse. It’s a nudge to examine where you might be chaining yourself down and what’s really ruling your life.

Reversed meaning:

When the Devil shows up reversed, it might mean:

• breakthrough
• recovery
• liberation.

Inverting the Devil card is excellent news. It implies you're breaking free from your shackles. This card reversed symbolizes breaking free from unfavorable patterns or dependencies. Your success, whether big or small, is a sign that you're on the right track to reclaiming your independence and breaking unhealthy habits. Keep going—liberation is possible.
