The Devil is full of illusion. Although you have total control of your life, beliefs, and choices, the card symbolizes how addiction, depression, and unhealthy bonds can make you feel out of control.

When The Devil appears, he is calling you out on your unhealthy behavior.
You are living in chains – addiction and bad habits are controlling your life. You are focusing too much on material wealth or physical experiences, ignoring your spiritual and emotional well-being.
It may be drugs, it may be social media, it may be working…
Only you truly know the chains that tie you down.
Regardless of the nature of your particular problem, the message of the Devil is clear: redirect your attention away from the satisfaction of desires and toward the things that really matter.
The chains are loose around your neck, and you can remove them. It is time to work on your spirituality and focus on your true path in life.
You have the power, you just need to act.
