The Devil

Contrary to what many people might think, an upright Devil on romantic matters does not just signify mere lust or toxic sexual attraction. It can also mean an attraction to money, a need for that initial emotional high of being with someone (i.e, short-term relationships), or even using someone else purely because the person you want to be with doesn’t like you. All of this means that you may not be working on yourself, which ultimately causes you to use others. Love was never meant to be done at the expense of others. If what you are doing is contrary to the idea of a selfless, compassionate, and reciprocal love, it makes you no different from a person whose only intention was to harm those around them. Before things turn to the nastier side, consider breaking things off with the person you are with. Rather than wait for things to end up badly for either of you, stop this emotional circus that the two of you are running. That said, in order to have a better romantic life, you must learn to love yourself first. Learn to accept who you are- scars, bruises, traumas, and all. As you embrace even the “unlikable” parts of yourself, you will gradually find yourself working towards self-improvement. It will not be an easy road to take but remember: you cannot give love if you do not have love. Once you finally acquired self-love, only then will you be able to find the love that you have been looking for this entire time.

The Devil Card in Reverse position carries within it the true effects of a relationship built upon immoral foundations. This means that the relationship may be founded on things that can be considered abusive or even unjust not just to yourself, but even and especially to your very partner. As such, this can both make you feel increasingly awkward and in some cases, even litigious. To prevent things from spiraling out of your control, you two need to honestly make steps together to solve things amicably. First, acknowledge the red flags in your relationship. It can be as small as bossing around your partner and always insisting on what you want to do around your home. This can also be as big as you policing which people can go near your significant other or what they can wear. As you go through the things that have been damaging your relationship with one another, find ways that you will be able to change this part of yourselves. How you will do it will depend on your situation, but always remember: always find a compromise founded in love and commitment. If you’re single, find your most toxic traits and do something about them. Your destructive personality may be the reason why love has been actively avoiding you for so long. The mere fact that you can hurt someone just because is enough reason for people not to want to be in a relationship with you, even if they feel attracted to you.

The Devil is a cruel card in the upright position and rightfully so, for it is from the evil that all negativity springs forth. You may be consumed by a certain obsession that prevents you from moving forward as a person, and while obsession does give you focus, it can isolate you from the world and all its possibilities. The obsession that you have is highly likely rooted in your desire to acquire wealth and power. You may even be working actively to achieve them right away. But being materialistic will only alienate you from the people who would love to be part of your life. Placing your focus on the things that will only last for a few years at best will not help you gain genuine people who would be willing to help you succeed. Your lack of social connection means that you know of far fewer career opportunities, nor do you have the means to address financial concerns. Asking for help is extremely hard for you, but not doing so might truly jeopardize your financial well-being. Now is the time for you to let go of your obsessions. Instead, recalibrate your focus into maintaining a balance between your ambitions and human connections. You will soon enter uncharted territory, and if you do not have sufficient backing, you may sooner or later see yourself suffer unnecessarily. Material gain is not just the only measure of success. Knowing and maintaining the presence of the right people in your life will make all the difference.
