The Devil tarot card

Tarot card meaning

The Devil in love

Strong attraction and an unhealthy grip. The Devil can mean intense chemistry, but also obsession, jealousy or staying for the wrong reasons. Notice the chains are loose.

  • attachment
  • materialism
  • playfulness
  • shadow self

If you asked a yes-or-no question

No

Not like this. Something has too strong a hold.

The Devil reversed in love

Breaking free. You are seeing a pattern clearly and are ready to step out of it.

Keywords: freedom, release, restoring control, breaking bonds

If you’re single

Watch for a pull toward someone who is bad for you. Attraction is not the same as fit.

If you’re in a relationship

Be honest about any control, jealousy or habit that is hurting you both.

After a breakup

Cut the cords: unfollow, delete, stop checking. You are free to leave the loop.

How they feel about you

They feel a powerful pull toward you that may feel out of their control.

What the card shows

In most decks: a horned figure crouches on a pedestal above two people chained to it, though the chains around their necks are loose.
