The Devil (XV) - Tarot of Capricorn
Keywords: Material attachments, shadow work, bondage and liberation, earthly power
The Devil card represents Capricorn's shadow—the danger of becoming enslaved to material ambition, power, or status. Yet this card also teaches that our chains are often self-imposed, and true mastery comes from recognizing and integrating our shadow nature.
Lessons: Question what controls you. Examine your relationship to power, money, and achievement. True freedom comes not from denying desire but from conscious relationship with it.
