The Devil (xv) card has negative characteristics in Tarot layouts and should serve as a kind of warning. Neighboring cards and the whole alignment as a whole clarify the meaning of the lasso and the essence of the warning sent to it. According to the Tarot, the Devil, in combination with other cards, rarely changes the basic meaning, with the exception of the last arcana, Mir.
general characteristics
The main characteristics of the Devil are the ability to deceive and tempt. Seducing with false benefits, he makes a person lose something truly valuable and become dependent on his own desires. This is a map of power, material values, sexual pleasures. The devil damages spirituality by forcing a person to follow negative behaviors.
The planet of this arcana is Saturn. This is the abode of karma, which makes you pay off debts and answer for past sins.
Often the human addiction that the Devil points out is karmic. It can arise contrary to logic and common sense.
In relationships and emotions
The devil in the scenario indicates an unhealthy love relationship built on manipulation and the desire for power. One of the partners is dependent on the other, or both fell into the grip of a destructive passion. Such relationships are characterized by jealousy, manipulation, obsession, and perversion.
The main emotion of this arcana is fear. A sense of fear is at the heart of any kind of destructive behavior: alcohol and drug addiction, sexual perversion, tyranny and submission. Fear arises from the loss of connection with one's spiritual essence (“selling the soul”) as a result of being seduced by momentary pleasures.
In finance
In money matters, the Devil plays two roles, each of which leads to negative consequences. In the first meaning, it symbolizes financial fraud or addiction, as a result of which a person will be deceived and suffer losses.
In the second meaning, the Devil symbolizes the questioner himself as a clever manipulator who makes a profit by deceiving others. In this state of affairs, a person will be lucky with money, but at the same time he will lose something more valuable (health, love, family, etc.). In addition, negative karma accumulates, which will have to be hard to work off.

Tarot cards are an opportunity to discover the mysterious and unknown. The picture that opens during the interpretation of the alignment often fully reflects the state of affairs of the questioner. The appearance of the Devil in the Tarot layout can have a variety of meanings. But most of them have negative connotations.
The card depicts the Devil sitting on a stone. It is in the center of the image. On either side of the stone are a man and a woman, depicted chained to the demon's "throne".
The main meaning of the Devil's Tarot is the dark forces capturing the human mind... This can be both a destructive attraction in personal life and a thirst for material goods. It all depends on the layout of the card, as well as on its position and other nuances. Often, the card speaks of an abuse of power. For example, about the desire for domination, power and greed.
In the Egyptian Tarot, this card corresponds to Typhon - an ancient monster that is identified with Set. The god of evil was portrayed as a reptile and acted as the personification of dark forces and wisdom at the same time.
The depiction of the Devil in the Egyptian Tarot is somewhat different from the classical one. The card depicts a demon whose appearance is crowned with wings and a tail. In some variants, Adam and Eve are present, which can be seen on the Lovers card. They are also chained.
The Devil's card is at the head of the third sevenfold of the Major Arcana... In the zodiac row, she is identified with the zodiac sign Capricorn. The card symbolizes "temptations" - drives, which are silent, but they are announced in the most unexpected way. Fighting them is optional. It is enough to accept their existence.
Direct position
Negative card meaning The devil shows man's pernicious tendencies. She points to the processes that he is not able to control, but becomes their victim.
The appearance of this Arcanum in the scenario may also mean that someone is hanging over the person who seeks to control it. Suppressed by the influence of others, the person steps on the wrong path, becoming a victim of carnal desires and low thoughts.
Some tarologists are inclined to argue that the Devil in the layout personifies a person's dark past, his deeds and fears. Arkan can also demonstrate the difficulties that await a person in the future. It symbolizes whims that a person cannot refuse, phenomena that interfere with the implementation of plans.
But you need to interpret the card, focusing on the layout in which it fell out. Its value is likely to be negative, but it will indicate the sphere in which the "demon" is present.
Inverted position
Oddly enough, but a positive interpretation is acquired by the alignment, where the Devil is inverted... Tarot, the meaning of which must be read by the position of the cards, says that the inverted position means victory over the "dark" side. A person will be able to overcome temptations, fears and get rid of addiction. The set heights will be achieved, despite external pressure and bonds that fetter consciousness.
The inverted 15 lasso The Devil suggests that low feelings and material dependence will recede into the background. A person will be able to cognize the value and power of his soul, detaching himself from worldly needs.
If a person is identified with negative forces, an inverted shaitan can mean the collapse of plans. The man will soon be exposed for his evil intentions. If the individual acts as a lovebird, dominant or dominant, then the inverted Devil promises him a catastrophe.
Card of the day
Devil's day card means that an unpleasant event awaits a person.... Internal "demons" will help to cope with the situation. The traits and motives that the person carefully concealed will make themselves felt and help solve the problem.
Today is the day of the struggle between good and evil. They will fight inside a person. It depends on the winner what kind of experience a person will gain in this situation.
On this day, you will have to resort not only to good intentions, but also ask for help from your dark desires. Only in this way can a person find self-sufficiency. Do not suppress your harmful desires today. Use them for good, but do not become a slave to the lower senses.
The card means that the individual got acquainted with his secret desires and, possibly, became their slave. The Devil's card demonstrates low personality traits, so a person dependent on the "demon" can suffer from drunkenness, be an unreliable partner or just a liar.
At the mental level, the Devil can talk about a certain fixed idea that a person is obsessed with. Meaning can also be based on a wrong worldview, when a person is looking for the cause of his failures in other people, extraneous phenomena and things beyond his control. In fact, the problem lies in himself, and the Devil tells about it in the layout.
The value of the card in the layout:
- Worldly concerns with negative connotations;
- Pernicious hobbies;
- Secret desires.
Sphere of relationships
A prediction takes on an ambiguous interpretation if the Devil Tarot card appears in the alignment of personal relationships. Its value in relationships is enormous.... For lonely individuals, the symbol promises a quick meeting with a partner. It is worth considering such an event as a gift of fate, because this relationship will be full of passion and love.
The problem may be that there will be no spiritual unity in this pair. The partners will be ruled by lust and carnal desires. The moral side of the relationship will gather dust in the backyard, which will lead to a short relationship.
If the Devil is present in divination for a specific couple, man or woman, disappointment lurks in her. Demon means that one of the partners refers to the connection from a consumer point of view. One of the personalities is depressed and humiliated.
The Devil card in the Tarot, the meaning of which is still negative, for a particular couple can mean treason. Perhaps one of the partners has a connection on the side. The devil personifies lies, but at the same time and wisdom, so it is difficult, and sometimes almost impossible, to expose a deceiver.
If the Chariot or the Emperor is present in the alignment, then this relationship is full of jealousy and authority. Emotional dependence in this case borders on slavery on a psychological level.
The appearance of the Devil in the layout of the work serves as evidence that difficult tests await a person... It's time to find out what is holding you back from success. It will also become known in whose power the personality is, who suppresses its desire for accomplishment.
Getting rid of oppression is impossible without fundamental changes. A person will have to abandon their prejudices and betray their picture of the world.
The devil can also mean a bad deal. The person will be drawn into dubious machinations, which are based on corruption, forgery or theft. Intrigues, betrayal and lies will accompany these matters. The outcome of cases is known in advance. In the best case, a person will lose a large sum, but a meeting with the law may also await him.
The meaning of the Devil Tarot in the layout can show a passion for dubious matters. A connection with prostitution, occult sciences is not excluded. The attitude towards politics is also possible.
If the fortuneteller asked a question about making a big profit, then the Devil in this scenario means a positive answer. If the question was asked about the methods of making a profit, then the shaitan indicates enrichment in dishonest ways. The one who received the money profits from other people's labors.
... Moreover, a person can have the strongest energy and reserve of strength. The trouble is that the demon hints at the waste of these resources.
There is an urgent need to change the way of life. Bad habits, poor lifestyles and addictions can very soon undermine good health. You should listen to the body and take care of yourself.
The devil can also mean that a person has the most powerful damage. Neighboring arcana in the layout will help to refute or confirm this guess.
The combination of negative arcana in large numbers may indicate damage done to death. Sexually transmitted diseases, terrible ailments and mental disorders are also possible.

Details
The general meaning of the 15th lasso.
Astrological meaning of the lasso: Sagittarius.
The superpower of the arcana: the ability to survive in various most difficult situations, as well as the ability to accumulate material wealth and establish effective connections with people.
If we talk about chakras, then the 15th lasso is strongly stretched in frequencies (from Manipura to Vishuddha), therefore the palette of qualities sewn into it is very extensive, that is, this lasso is responsible for the development of a whole range of various qualities. Firstly, the 15th lasso is responsible for the development of individuality, it provides the fastest trimming of the personality (increases it. And of course, the lasso is responsible for such qualities as Power, Money, Sex - these are the characteristics of the lower frequencies of the lasso.
The 15th lasso is also often associated with such a quality as success, it is “honestly earned” success - that is. algorithms developed by a person that allow her to find the best way out of any situation. If you apply this to business, then it will be the ability to conclude any deals so that you will always be in the black, however, and the ability to break them, remaining in the black.
And also the 15th lasso contains a quality that is described by one of the names of the lasso - "Dependency", this aspect of the lasso describes the relationship of dependence between people. Indeed, in fact, any relationship is in some way an addiction, and in sephirothic magic they say that all connections between people are the threads of the 15th arcana.
Another quality of this arcana is impeccability, in a simple life this is determined by the words Fart, fortune - this means that Fortune favors a person, and he does not face obstacles in life, everything is arguing with him, he does not cling to anything anywhere.
In addition, the 15th lasso is characterized by a quality called Awareness, this is the final link in the algorithm of thinking and is directly tied to the human intellect. A shrewd person has a developed intellect. The measure of intellectual development is a very important parameter for the Development in Magic and becoming in the Contract.
However, there are also downside aspects of the manifestation of this arcana, for example obstinacy. Obstinacy is also a certain position and it is needed at first to develop fixation, but if you do not get rid of it in time, it will bury the person under itself, stopping with its inertia any processes of transformation and development of the personality.
Summarizing the qualities of the 15th lasso, we can say that its specificity is the struggle with oneself, and the purpose of working with the lasso is the transformation of the personality.
As we already said, the channel of this arcana is divided into two parts, one of which is below the 17th arcana in frequency, and the other is higher. The lower part (low frequency) is the basis of religion, and the upper (high frequency) part is associated with Magic. If we talk about the low-frequency part, then the most secret societies associated with the World Elite and the World Government are connected with this channel, little-known orders can be attributed here: the Order of Vesta and the Society of Dwarfs. These religions can be attributed to the Order of the Golden (White) Bull, established by King Solomon, whose members were Genghis Khan, Attila, Tamerlane, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and others.
One of the main known artifacts of this channel is the "Spear of Destiny". This also includes the sword Excalibur and the mysterious Menorah (seven-branched candlestick), which is rumored to be in the Vatican's collection. These religions are based on the idea of the Power of money.
Since the 15th lasso crosses the 17th and is associated with low-frequency energies (energies of the body), reaching in frequency to the Manipura chakra (the yellow chakra, which is responsible for metabolism and immunity), there are also body-oriented egregors tied to this lasso. This, first of all, can be attributed to Satanists of various directions. These cults are based on the cult of the god Pan (patron saint of herds and forest animals), known since ancient times. It is the goat-horned and goat-footed Pan that underlies the images of Satan (Mendes' goat). Bat wings were added to it from the 15th lasso card, which describes tuning to Channel 15, these wings simply indicate the increase in the energy of this lasso towards the night (the bat is a symbol of the night), when its power is at its maximum.
In addition, the energies of the 15th lasso provide us with vitality, increased survivability and stability. If a person's energy reserves of the 15th lasso are exhausted, death occurs, because the energy of the 15th lasso and its quantity determines the duration of our life, this energy provides us with healing after injuries and illnesses.
If we talk about the elements, then the 15th lasso is located on the central column of the Sephiroth Tree (column of Fire) and has an offset to the element of Earth. Fire is a manifestation, the energy of the Earth is a structure, and if you bring the qualities of these elements together, you get the Manifestation of Structure. Accordingly, this lasso is used where there are structures, and since there are structures everywhere (everything simply consists of them), then the 15 lasso, permeating the entire physical World. It is for this quality that the meaning of Power is attributed to the lasso.
Description of the lasso.
The 15th lasso card depicts the ancient symbol of the Knights Templar - Baphomet - a synthetic deity symbolizing the forces of Nature. At different times, the main character of this lasso (Devil, Baphomet) bore different names: the Prince of this World, Abbot of the Temple of All People, Python, Devil, Dependency, the god Pan.
We see that on the 15th lasso card, Baphomet is on a stone and the stone here symbolizes physical matter, materiality, to which the masculine and feminine principles are fixed (figures of a man and a woman on the map), the feminine principle symbolizes intuition, the masculine principle symbolizes the mind. There is an expression that says that the prince of this world is Satan (Devil, Baphomet) and in this card this very Prince of this world is shown, and he is a prince due to the fact that he keeps people here in the physical plane, not letting them go into the world of pure spirit.
This card also symbolizes the silver thread that keeps people on the physical plane, symbolizes conception, which makes a person be born on the physical plane, symbolizes the chain that holds us in the material world. This is a clear clue to the material plane, to all the physical parameters of our body. And the energy of the 15th lasso symbolizes the law that makes people reborn, return to the physical plane.
Between the horns of Baphomet, an inverted five-pointed star is drawn, symbolizing the principle of inhuman principle (that is, a five-pointed star is a symbol of a person, and an inverted five-pointed star is a person with a minus sign, that is, not a person).
The expression “between an angel and a demon” is also suitable for the 15th lasso, where it is actually about an incarnate person who has a body and consciousness. His body is a part of the animal world, and his consciousness is a phenomenon of a higher order. And on the lasso card we see that above the belt of Baphomet is the human body, and man, unlike animals, is the bearer of the soul. And Baphomet acts as the ruler of human bodies, he makes the soul come into the body.
He gave people a shell to maintain and they are addicted to it. The soul is owned by God, the Spirit, the higher powers, and the shells, bodies are owned by Baphomet. And here we understand that Baphomet is not really a fallen angel, he is the executor of the will of the System, he is one of its 22 servants. This material world is given to him for control, he is here the governor of God, the conductor of the Higher powers and the Supreme Law.
Magical use of the arcana.
It is useful to enter this lasso to attract and activate material, cash flow, but remember that the lasso will not only attract money to you, but situations in which you can make money, that is, work hard to earn money, improve your material well-being, nevertheless have to.
It is also useful to enter the lasso to harmonize and enhance health, purify and strengthen the silver thread, straighten its flaws.
The amulet charged to this lasso gives opportunities for financial improvement through attracting situations, earning opportunities, and also attracts the "necessary" people to you, in general the attention of people, connections.
Fortune-telling meaning.
- We are connected with someone. Unfreedom. Negative connection, i.e. a bond that all parties want to sever.
- Commitments that force you to do something.
- Married life. Marriage.
- If they ask about a marriage, and this card falls out, then this marriage threatens to fall apart.
- If they ask “does he love me?”, And this card falls out, then the conclusion is that he hates it, but he cannot get away from you.
- The opportunity to improve the financial situation, but with a trick "dependence", what a trick - the next card will show.
- If the alignment is on the attitude of a person - there is an attachment, a strong energetic connection, but acting on both, like dependence.
- The answer to the question is "yes, but there are tricks", which we look at with the next card.
Description of the DEVIL Tarot card
In most decks, the Major Arcana Tarot is depicted in front of two small figures of a man and a woman. His mood is transmitted to people who are completely dependent on Satan. If he smiles, people smile, if he gets angry, his slaves tremble with fear. The devil is opposed to good, his goal is to destroy order, to bring chaos into this world. The allegory here is a mind, cold-blooded and cruel, seeking to upset the Universal Equilibrium.
The general meaning and interpretation of the "DEVIL" Tarot card in the layouts
Direct card position
Of all the Arcana Tarot, the Devil is the most difficult to understand, because everyone has his own. Common to all, perhaps, can be considered only a situation of dependence on someone or something, a weak will, a shameful failure of good intentions, as well as actions performed contrary to their own convictions. The card speaks of material dependence, intrigue and temptation, excesses. The illusion of being forced to act against or against wishes. The card testifies that at the moment, the main goals in life are by no means spiritual goals. The values that you yearn to acquire are of an exclusively material nature. The card claims that the goals that you are pursuing are false and it is better to give them up now, while you have not yet been sucked into this quagmire. You should not, however, take this as a threat: before you is just a warning from Destiny. Either way, this card shows that we are playing with fire and must be careful not to burn ourselves. At a deep level, it means that the question affects, first of all, the shadow sides of the personality.
Inverted card position
In an inverted position, the Devil card speaks of the abuse of power, of the concentration of efforts solely on the achievement of material wealth. If in fortune-telling the card falls out among the positive, one can assume a successful love adventure or a situation in which it will be possible to safely escape from retaliation.

Difficulties in relationships can be associated with excessive immersion in matters of a material nature, and the pursuit of dubious pleasures. This lasso often means temptation, indulgence and pursuit of desires at any cost. The devil is also often associated with the sphere of intimate relationships and can sometimes mean infidelity, betrayal, love affairs without obligation.

The meaning and interpretation of the "DEVIL" card as the card of the year
The Devil card says that this year you will have to look deeply into yourself, and at the same time something that you did not expect may come to light, or suddenly what you thought was one will turn out to be completely different. In this case, it is the dark, shadowy side of the personality, which forces one to commit acts, which later one has to bitterly regret. All that is required of you is to quit looking for the guilty ones and, when you find yourself in another unpleasant situation, just ask yourself - how could this have happened. Try to determine the true scale of your intemperance, analyze the darkest sides of your soul, which are constantly trying to find weakness in you. Give them an appropriate place and determine for yourself how you should react to them so that it does not go beyond the acceptable framework.
Work and finance. In this area, the "Devil" card predicts that your moral foundations, your beliefs and good intentions will be severely tested, one might even say, temptation. You will have the opportunity to achieve material well-being, but not in the cleanest and most honest ways.
Personal relationships. In this area, the card portends you teasing flirting, meaningful promises, sensual passion. However, here it is, first of all, a warning: you have to play with fire and it will be extremely difficult not to get burned.
Health status. Here, a worsening of the condition is possible due to addictions, bad habits, an improper lifestyle, and self-indulgence.
The main advice of the card. Free yourself from addictions, stop obeying circumstances and walk freely along the path to which the voice of your heart leads.
The meaning and interpretation of the "DEVIL" card as a card of the day
Today you, apparently, will have to meet with the shadow side of your character. Perhaps you will be persuaded to do something unseemly or to betray your principles. It may be some kind of sudden inner urge that you did not suspect or thought that you had overcome it long ago. You should neither be angry with yourself for this, nor place the blame on others, nor should you suppress this urge in yourself. Use the situation to bring a ray of light into a dark part of your soul - be aware of this urge and find out the reasons for it.
Council of the card "DEVIL" in fortune telling
You will need to go through certain life trials, or rather, temptations, when too easy victory and power, which under other circumstances would have to be earned and deserved, are concentrated in your hands. Try not to rise above others.

Card Symbols
In most classic decks (Ryder-Waite, Universal Tarot, Lo Scarabeo deck) in the center of the lasso, you can see the image of the Devil with his classic attributes: horns, wings, an inverted pentagram. He sits on a huge cube, to which the captives are chained with iron chains - a man and a woman. They suffer, but their postures are calm. Their freedom is limited, they are completely dependent on the will of the terrible Devil.
All three figures repeat or parody the poses that can be seen on the Hierophant card. The devil is the mirror image of this arcana. His image is a contrast or sarcasm over the blessing that the High Priest gives people.
In some tarot decks, the deep meaning of the arcana is revealed through one of the inherent attributes of the Devil - fire. But this is not hellfire. Tarologists believe that the lasso reflects the real world rather than the mythical depths of Hell.
The presence of fire means that a person is not freed from karmic cause-and-effect relationships. To receive retribution, you do not need to wait for the High Court. It is already happening on Earth, and a painful fire will burn everyone who commits an impartial act.
The suffering of people is that hellish fire, which is in the hands of the Devil. It is through suffering that people become attached to the material world.
In some decks, the Devil has horns - a sign of his animal, instinctive nature. It gives rise to incontinence, weakness in front of passions. The same horns are depicted on captives. Their meaning is the same, but less intense. A man and a woman can be depicted with tails. A man's tail brush is a hell of anger. A woman's brush is a bunch of grapes: a sign of dependence on material wealth and lust.
The Devil's wings personify independence - he can break off and fly away at any moment. Shar says that it is impossible to hide from temptation anywhere: the whole Earth is a vale of suffering.
Total value
The devil says that the questioner does not control the situation in which he is. He can get himself into big trouble by his behavior.
In an upright position
The map indicates that at a certain segment of his path, a person has chosen the path of self-destruction (or there is such a prospect). Arkan warns that in indulging his whims, the querent goes beyond all possible boundaries. There is an abuse of power (including erotic), submission to another person, or dependence on something.
The devil speaks of an overwhelming environment. A certain personality or weakness gains too much strength over the querent, depriving him of the freedom of creativity. Sometimes we are talking about the destructive influence of bad people.
The way the questioner is acting now leads to the destruction of his life. There is a temptation to forget about all the rules under the influence of external circumstances, fear, psychological pressure. The temptation is great to stop working and indulge momentary lust.
The devil is a warning for the questioner to return to the true path as soon as possible: if you continue to persist in indulging your weaknesses, there will be inevitable retribution for this.
Psychological obsession, physical dependence occurs along the lasso the Devil. These can be passions that harm the performance of daily duties, the temptation of dishonest acquisition. Sometimes there is no turning back (drug addiction variant).
In an inverted position
The description of the lasso Devil in the reverse position is similar to the direct one: the card in both cases indicates dependence. But here the situation has practically no way out. The questioner had a chance to find possible solutions, but at one time he did not use them, neglected the signs of fate and now fell into a trap.
The card speaks of a subtly thought out lie, the sophistication of some unscrupulous person. Other arcana in the layout will indicate those areas where betrayal is worth waiting for. But often one deception entails another, and the questioner remains in the carousel of lies.
Inverted, the Devil indicates unrestrained passion when obsessive aspirations begin to be realized. If in the upright position the lasso indicates those temptations that a person may not succumb to, then in the reverse position it is already about actions.
The card can describe negative aspects of character that have taken root over the years, which have turned into psychological complexes and prevent a person from living normally. The querent is deprived of the opportunity to choose because of missed chances or because of the fatality of the circumstances themselves.
Work and career issues
Most often, the lasso the Devil says that a person has "sold his soul", is in subjection, from which he has no way to get out. The field of activity can be any: politics, show business, production area. In any case, there is a strong dependence on another person or serious pressure.
Circumstances force the questioner to commit such acts, which in the future he will seriously repent.
The devil points out that a person can easily become a victim of manipulation, be involved in illegal operations: theft, corruption, intrigue, violation of the law. We can talk about falsification of data, shadow accounting, making public confidential information. This is often followed by ruthless exploitation.
In an inverted position, the lasso indicates unseemly occupations: theft or fraud, prostitution, witchcraft. For an employee of the organization, it means non-payment of the money earned. If a person works in a team, meanness awaits him. Other cards in the layout will show you exactly who to expect cheating from. But the Devil always says that a person drives himself into a trap, allows others to lead him around.
Financial situation
If the querent's question was about the possibility of gaining material stability, the Devil is a relatively positive card. He promises to achieve financial goals, although not by the most charitable means.
The card symbolizes profit, venality, payment of interest. He points out that a person's efforts are focused only on achieving material well-being.
The situation of financial dependence (typical for kept women) also passes along the same lasso. The card indicates the constant pursuit of new acquisitions, accounting machinations, enrichment at the expense of someone else's slave labor.
In an inverted position, the Devil points out dishonest business, accompanied by great risk. Usually many other people are involved. In fact, we are talking about illegal scams. In the inverted form, the lasso predicts that the querent will be betrayed in a certain situation. If there are Strength or Emperor cards next to the Devil, we are talking about threats and blackmail.
Love and relationships
The devil speaks of strong attachment, instinctive attraction, passion. The card often falls out to those who decide to enter into an intimate relationship on the side, or who have lost their head because of love.
Desires that grip a person are so powerful that they completely drown out the voice of reason, making it difficult to adequately assess the current situation. The partner turns into an object of fatal passion, highlighting all the shadow sides of the character in the questioner.
The primitive energy of a love affair makes a person forget about everything, lose himself in its abyss.
Tyranny on the part of the partner runs along the same lasso. Relationships are built on dependencies, which are based on fear. Material dependence, blackmail, betrayal, jealousy, manipulation take place. A typical situation is deprivation of honor, immorality. Even if the Devil provides a thrill for a while, in the end he brings torment and sorrow. Looking back many years later, a person will regretfully think that this dark spot in his biography might not exist.
In the inverted position, the card speaks of the presence of addiction in a relationship that is always built on fear. In a couple, there is mutual aggression, sexual perversion. If the Devil is the significator of one of the partners, this means that it is he who provokes aggression in the couple. If a lasso arises in the layout, this is a sign of constant betrayal.
For single people, the Devil symbolizes the impossibility of building a normal family union, since a person builds all relationships in his life on aggression. In this case, the creation of a family is possible only with a resigned, submissive person.
Health issues
Sometimes the Devil indicates damage, love spell or other influence of black magicians. In this case, confirmation of other cards in the layout is necessary - the Hanged Man (love spell sign), Magician, indicate the use of witchcraft.
The devil talks about serious health problems caused by addictions, addictions, weak will. Drug addiction, alcoholism, venereal diseases pass along this lasso. If there is a card, Death or Peace indicates physical death.
Personality characteristic
Arcanum Devil points to an extremely attractive, magnetic person who knows how and loves to make money, appreciates material comforts. This person treats everything with a bit of humor.
To achieve his goals, the person designated by this lasso uses any means - intrigue, deception, manipulation. But even so, others are often fascinated and fall in love with such a person.
The characteristic of a person, the significator of which is an inverted Devil, is different: the card indicates a gloomy, depressed person. He is surrounded by an unpleasant halo. Sometimes this is a vulgar person, subject to various addictions.
Card of the day
As a card of the day, the fifteenth lasso has several different interpretations. He points to:
Card tip: Refuse dating or meeting other people. Communication will be associated with deception, meanness. The meeting itself may not take place due to the deceitfulness of the partner.

The devil emphasizes the shadow side of other cards. In many cases, it is interpreted depending on the lasso that is next to it:

Through the arcana, the Devil Tarot advises to be patient and achieve success on your own. Do not give in to temptation, even if it is very attractive. The card recommends continuing on your way and not being afraid of hard work.
The story of one of our readers Alina R .:
Money has always been my main concern. Because of this, I had a bunch of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still need personal help. Sometimes it seems that the point is in yourself, all failures are just a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye, or some other bad force.
But who will help you in a difficult life situation, when it seems that your whole life is going downhill and passes you by. It's hard to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 for renting an apartment. What was my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed for the better overnight. I could not even imagine that you can earn so much money that some trinket, at first glance, could have such an impact.
It all started when I ordered a personal ...
