Tarot Card of the Week
The Devil
Selected for Saturn's influence this week
This Week's Message
The Devil represents the darker aspects of the self, including attachments, addictions, and materialism. It highlights the chains that bind you and encourages you to confront and overcome your fears and temptations.
"I acknowledge my shadow self and choose to release what no longer serves me."
How to Work With The Devil This Week
In love readings, The Devil can indicate intense passion and sexual chemistry, but also codependency, jealousy, or staying in unhealthy relationships. It asks you to examine whether fear or genuine love keeps you in a partnership. For singles, it may suggest attraction to unavailable or toxic people.
In career readings, The Devil suggests feeling trapped in your job, working for money rather than purpose, or unethical business practices. It may indicate workaholism or staying in a toxic workplace out of fear. The card encourages you to examine whether golden handcuffs keep you bound to unfulfilling work.
Explore the Symbolism
The Devil card depicts Baphomet, a half-goat, half-human figure representing the balance of opposites. Two naked humans stand chained below, but their chains are loose, symbolizing self-imposed bondage. The inverted pentagram on the Devil's head represents the material over the spiritual. The torch held downward ignites primal desires. The figures have small horns and tails, showing how prolonged attachment transforms us.
