Individual Card Meanings
The Devil
惡魔
The Devil shows two figures chained at the feet of a horned beast, yet their chains are loose—they could leave if they chose to. This card represents the bondage we create for ourselves through attachment, addiction, materialism, or unhealthy relationships. It asks you to examine what holds you captive. What patterns, beliefs, or desires have become your prison? The Devil is not about external evil but about our shadow self—the parts of ourselves we deny or project onto others. When this card appears, it is time to honestly face your attachments and ask whether they serve your highest good or keep you in chains.
