Major Arcana
The Devil
“Attachment, temptation, or the realization of what's holding you captive.”
Upright
The Devil is about chains that are often self-made: an addiction, a bad habit, or a relationship that's hard to leave. The first step is admitting the trap exists.
Reversed
Reversed, the Devil is a conscious break from whatever's held you captive. Freedom here doesn't happen on its own — it's the result of a deliberate decision to let go.
In love
A toxic dynamic or dependency on a partner — worth honestly asking whether it's love or just habit.
In career
A job that drains you but feels too scary to leave — get clear on what's actually keeping you there.

Advice
Say the trap out loud. That's already half the way to freedom.
