The Devil

The Devil can bring up feelings of fear and discomfort, but this card is more about internal battles than external force. This is a reminder of your true power and capability to free yourself from any situation. You may be called to face your shadows head on; whether it's fear or temptation of unhealthy habits, you are reminded to claim your power.

The appearance of the Devil is a turning point for you if you've been feeling stuck. Now is your chance to take action and claim your power back. No matter your situation, there are always options for you to choose from.


We often give our power away unknowingly through apathy, inaction or fear. Start taking action, even if it's baby steps. These small movements forward can make a bigger impact than you realize.

To regain your control and clarity, focus on simple actions that bring you confidence and comfort. Even shifting your emotions from worry to hope is a powerful step. As minor as it may seem, holding hope in a dark situation is one of the most crucial steps towards emotional freedom. Your perception might be clouded by feelings of helplessness or doubt. Be mindful to not make impulsive decisions right now.

The Devil card is a good reminder that it's time to check in with your spiritual side. Hold on to the highest vision of yourself and trust in your own power. While things might seem dark or restrictive, there are many opportunities in front of you. As you slow your mind and find inner peace, the next steps on your path will become clear.

You may also find that you've been overly focused on the material world and its challenges; financial worries, career stress or the need to control your circumstances. The Devil also represents an aspect of temptation, whether it's an unhealthy relationship, self-destructive habits or escapism. These temptations can give illusion of relief but they often lead to more powerlessness.


In order to find freedom, you must be willing to face your shadows and slay your demons. As you release, be sure to fill that space with something healthy and nourishing. Give yourself moments to pause and ground. Plant your feet in the earth and be intentional of your breath and let each exhale release your worries into the ground.

Don't fear the Devil card. It is a reminder of your inherent power.
