Tarot "Devil": the value of a straight and inverted map

How often do we see this monster with goat horns when we lay out tarot cards. "Devil" - the personification of hell and death - is frightening and frightening. He does not foretell anything good either during fortune telling. The map has a negative meaning and promises in the future solid trouble.

Description

The representative of the senior arcana, the fifteenth in count, is the "Devil". Tarot, the value of which varies depending on the position of the cards, connects with this mythical figure human fears and vices. In the picture is usually drawn a huge black figure of Satan, sitting on the throne. The royal place has the form of a cube, which symbolizes the power of an evil force that spreads its influence on the world of living people. In the monster, the goat's head is a sign of tyranny, in the middle of the forehead there is a pentagram that points to the destructive beginning that descends into the material world.

The body of the lord of darkness adorns the wool - the embodiment of animal nature. The wings of the bat, which flaunt from behind, are treated as a demonic essence, a bloodthirsty nature. In his hand the monster holds a torch - it is the flame of ungodly human temptations and passions that corrode not only the physical shell, but also the soul, heart, mind. Next to Satan there is a bare man and woman. They are shackled by fetters: they can throw them off, but do not do it. The couple symbolizes the human race, which voluntarily, succumbing to temptation, binds itself to everything material. Chains are a symbol of false choice.

The map is in the forward position

What does the "Devil" that fell out in the Tarot show? In the direct position, he presents us all the negative side of the human consciousness: self-interest, mercantile spirit, self-deception, dependence, weak will, doom, and violence, anger and destruction. Sometimes a card is treated as a burst of the necessary forces to deal with troubles that suddenly fell on your head. But in most cases, this is a trap into which a fortune-teller can get caught because of the evil intent of others or because of the circumstances. The reason for this is destructive passion, low desires, which obscure consciousness.

The card often falls out to those people who are very concerned about their material well-being. It symbolizes attachment to money, dependence on profit. Such persons are held captive by instincts. "Devil" serves as a warning: you need to get rid of such traits of character - the desire for wealth, power and wicked physical intimacy. Otherwise they will lead to death.

Inverted "Devil"

If the card is placed upside down, how does the interpretation of the Tarot change? "Devil" inverted, in contrast to other representatives of the magic deck, the value remains. It's all the same devastation, spiritual weakness, evil fate, dependence, the collapse of intentions, pettiness and resignation to fate. A person who sees Satan in such a position should prepare for illnesses, a severe blow, an imminent catastrophe, which can befall both professional relations and personal life, a friendly bond.

Inverted "Devil" points to bondage, which will necessarily lead to disappointment, mental disorders and even suicide. Despite all the negative, the card has a positive value. In some cases, it means strengthening the spirit and will, overcoming fear and doubt, dropping shackles and eliminating obstacles in order to achieve the desired goal. A picture can be interpreted as stiffness, a bad habit, which makes a person immobile and prevents him from developing.

Divination by relations

In the scenario of personal life, the "Devil" card in the Tarot has a special interpretation: the meaning is enriched with notes of sensuality. Such a picture is a sign of teasing flirting, insane passion, carnal desires. But this does not mean that a person is already in captivity. Perhaps the map only warns the guesser about the dangers that lie in wait on the way. They can bring chaos into your habitual existence, so be careful - do not play with fire! Satan can also point to treason, betrayal, moral or physical violence in the family.

When the "Devil" (Tarot) is in the direct position, the meaning in the relationship is: lack of understanding and respect between partners. It is a sign of conflict and quarrels, aggression and lowlands of instincts. Perhaps the guesser depends heavily on the second half: financially, sexually or morally. As for the inverted map, it symbolizes communication fatigue, pair incompatibility, undeserved resentments, unnecessary humility and patience.

Work breakdown

When a person dreams of a career with the help of the Tarot, the Devil can be a warning. He portends a temptation that you can succumb to in order to reach the peaks dishonest and even criminal. This can be a bad act, which is contrary to moral values and spiritual principles. There is a danger of getting into a bad company and getting involved in a "dirty" scam. In this case, the crime can be disguised as a noble cause, painted with rainbow colors and good intentions.

If the "Devil" falls out in a straight position, your beliefs will be tested for strength. Prepare to defend your point of view, so as not to stumble on the way to a dream. It may be an offer from a partner to engage in a very lucrative, but illegal, affair. As for the card in its inverted position, it is a symbol of insatiability in power, fanaticism and worship of material goods. You can abuse power to climb the career ladder. Remember: your goals are false. It's better to stop and choose a different path.

Health

In the scenario of well-being, the card can also describe your lifestyle. If the "Devil" falls out, Taro ascribes to him the following: dependence on alcohol or drugs. You "overgrown" a whole bunch of bad habits and qualities of character, which makes your existence destructive and pitiful. There is a risk of completely losing health or catching a sexually transmitted disease. Your main task is to resist this evil. Resist and quickly get rid of vices. It is better to switch to a cherished desire that does not give you rest.

The map upside down values practically does not change. It's still the same immoral way of life, filled with liquor and intoxicants. Taro in this situation advises you to stop and look at yourself from the outside: to whom did you turn? Is this low being really you? Where is that strong and strong-willed person, capable of overcoming any obstacles? Rather, get your head and start a new life. Now is the time to throw off the shackles and change the strategy of behavior.

Situation on the situation

If, in a fortune-telling, Tarot card "Devil" drops out for a certain event, it means that you are in captivity under illusions. Aspiring to the goal, you deceive not only yourself, but others. The point is that you are depending on the situation, suggesting to yourself how much you need it and it is important. In fact, you are mistaken. It is good if the card drops out in the straight position. This indicates that events can have a successful outcome. But only on the way to triumph you are waiting for a lot of disappointments, difficulties and dangers. Is it worth to go through them for the sake of an imaginary purpose? The choice is yours.

The reversed card, on the contrary, warns against further action. It's better to give up plans - it's not yours. You run the risk of investing a huge amount of forces and not succeed, even the slightest. It will be wasted precious time, all the accumulated capital. Better do something else. This is a chance to get things going, to "absorb" new energy and fresh ideas, to receive the blessing of heaven. Your stardom has not come yet. Relax and relax for a while.

Consciousness

Interpretation of the Tarot card "Devil" in this context indicates that now you are in an unenlightened state. The activity of the mind is limited, thinking inhibits. But do not despair, the card marks a transition stage in your life. She also warns about rash decisions and reckless acts that you can ignorantly commit now. Do not act - go underground. "Devil" also indicates that at the current stage a person adheres to limited beliefs and false principles. It's time to lose weight and update your idea of the world. Listen to the inner voice: it is he who will direct you to the right path.

A card can symbolize temptation. There is a risk of getting under someone else's influence, being charmed by magic, breaking under the influence of physical strength. The turn of events creates for you a situation of dependence, blind worship. Sometimes it is even a question of sadism or masochism. Be carefull. Only you are the master of your destiny, and no one has the right to dictate your conditions to you.

"Neighbors" in the layout also affect the map "Devil". The combination of the Tarot in the senior arcane is always negative:
