Illuminated Tarot — The Devil (Major Arcana)

The Devil represents powerful duality and nature’s unpredictable forces.

Right now, you may feel overtaken by energies that magnify your flaws—jealousy intensifies, arguments escalate. Passions (and even hatreds) can grow larger than life. Don’t despair—this will pass.

Avoid harsh, blaring music; it stirs the martial, warlike energy of Mars and invites loud, aggressive situations. Beware of two-faced friends. This isn’t the time to get into fights or competitions.

Take precautions. Step back from people with “bad habits” (addictions, aggression, etc.)—they can spread more negativity. And watch out for envy. Your task is self-control: don’t let others control or dominate you. Stay far from anyone dabbling in black magic.

Anything that makes you feel bad in this phase will fade once it’s over. Meanwhile, protect yourself.

If you asked about a person, be careful—this can indicate someone extremely possessive and jealous, with a bleak outlook on life.

Something or someone connected to them may reappear in your life. The outer appearance may be the same, but their inner world is different. This Arcana often shows up when we reconnect with a friend or love after time apart. It’s the same person, but the circumstances have changed. You can’t recreate the past, but you can live a new and promising present.
