Upright
Look at the chain: it is not locked. Name the appetite and it loses half its grip.
A horned figure above two chained figures — whose chains, look closely, hang loose. Appetite wearing a crown.
In love readings
The Devil in love
In love, The Devil is the attachment that looks like passion: the relationship you cannot leave and cannot enjoy. The card is kind under the scary art — it only says: look at the chain. It is not locked.

The Devil at work
At work, The Devil names the golden cage: the salary that buys your numbness, the ambition served at the cost of the servant. Name the appetite; the grip halves.
Pair the deck with your chartThe spirit of the card
Spiritually, shadow-work: honesty starves what shame feeds. The demon is a ledger of unadmitted wants.
Shadow side
Shaming the shadow feeds it. Honesty starves it.
