What does The Devil tarot card mean?

Drawing The Devil card upright tells you that you're currently living in a state of fear or attachment, according to Biddy Tarot.

The card itself depicts the devil above a man and woman who are chained. This represents the idea that in the material world, it is quite easy to find oneself attached to the dark or addicting forces surrounding you.

Looking closely at the card, however, you can see the chains are loose. This means you are able to escape from your negative habits, no matter how much they are weighing down on you.

"The Devil card often appears when you have been tricked into thinking you have no control over your shadow self or these negative forces," writes Biddy Tarot. "See it as an opportunity to bring these negative influences into your conscious awareness, so you can then take action to free yourself from their hold."

One must dig deep within themselves and find the root of their darker side when faced with upright Devil card in tarot.
