The Devil

General:

You may be feeling like people around you are trying to manipulate your opinions to serve themselves. If you’re not willing to let go of those who no longer resonate with your journey, your path will continue to be blocked. Taking action is critical to you staying on the path to your destiny. Action can be taken in big or small steps. Take whatever steps you can to give yourself the feeling, however slight, of being in control. Even if that is merely making a choice on what you are going to have for dinner. Small steps are important, too.

Work: 

You may very well feel trapped in a job that you detest but can’t see your way clear to leave because of the security. Consider whether the trade-offs are worth it as the truth of the matter is that in this day and age, very few jobs, pensions, etc. are truly secure. If you choose to stay where you are, be aware that this is a choice that you are making, nothing has been forced upon you. If you don’t feel the trade-off is worth your unhappiness, start putting out feelers and giving thought to what you can do to change the situation. You are not trapped unless you allow yourself to be trapped.

Love:

If you’re in a long-term romantic relationship, one or both parties may have gotten to the point where they feel as though they are trapped in the situation. If you’re getting signals that this is the case, try to talk about it if you want to save the relationship. This card also sometimes appears when there is really nothing to be done but to end an unhappy relationship. We always have choices. Take steps to keep the magic alive. If you’re seeking love, this may be a signal that you’re acting out of lust, an attitude which definitely drives off would-be lovers. If that’s the case, consider taking a short time out from relationship-seeking and get to know yourself better.

Finances:

Things may be or may get very tight in the near future. Try not to resent the situation, but to deal calmly and rationally with it. Otherwise, you’ll sign contracts that will be less beneficial to you in the future. Take one step at a time. If you need financial help, don’t be afraid or too proud to ask for it. Help is always available.

Health:

This is a time that you need to watch out for being overworked, overtired, and over-stressed. Exercise will help as it forces you to work on yourself rather than on other people’s problems. If you are dealing with a chronic health condition, don’t let it define you. You are more than your diseases and you are better served by using health challenges as a tool for growth instead of feeling sorry for yourself.

Spirituality:

Keeping a positive mindset is importance right now. Positive affirmations will benefit you. Take a look at who you surround yourself with. Are they upbeat, positive people in your life, or are you surrounded by overly critical, fault-finding people who nit-pick you to the point where you’re depressed? Take stock, then take action. Life is short, and attitudes are contagious.
