The Devil card shows up when we feel trapped. Regardless of circumstances we can always set ourselves free. The human soul is infinitely creative and can always come up with a solution or an escape route. Ask yourself what is helpful for you to believe. Change your perspective of yourself in your life and possibilities will start to bloom.
Sometimes the Devil card shows up when our relationship to the dark, primal side of our self needs to be balanced. You may be letting base urges have too much power in your life and things are getting out of control. This can be an addiction to a substance, person or lifestyle. Conversely, you may be suppressing natural urges and emotions in yourself to the detriment of your happiness and health. Perfectionism and moral superiority are life-energy zappers. Either way you are not the only victim of your imbalance, those close to you will suffer too.
Something that you have relied on for support may now be holding you back. Sometimes this is a relationship that you attracted when you were a less evolved person and have now outgrown. We keep changing and growing our entire life and maintaining eating or drinking patterns, lifestyle habits or jobs that no longer serve us will now hurt us.
The devil represents anything that keeps you in bondage to a less than fully lived life.
For some people this can be a fear of committing themselves to something; a person, a higher cause or even to themselves. Imprisonment can also be the opposite. Sometimes we stay committed to something long after it has served its purpose and it is actually causing us harm. This can come in the form of addiction or a dead end job or obsessive love.
The devil is your shadow. He lives in your blind spot and is the part of yourself you don't really want to look at. But this energy is in all of our lives. Nobody is perfect. Working with this energy can truly set you free.
