Message of The Devil:
The Devil represents whatever is keeping you back from being your whole authentic self. The Devil represents the closet you hide in, the path you fear to take, or the freedom you are not ready to reach out for. Sometimes it's good to lay low for a while. And some crutches are useful while you regroup. However, you are on YOUR personal journey. Don't give up your power, your agency forever. Don't stay too long in a place that doesn't feed you, nourish you, heal you. Loose the chains. Don't you want to see what's ahead?
What have you been procrastinating on?
In what ways are you handing your power over to others?
The Devil as an Action:
Stop procrastinating. Let go of bad habits.
The Devil as a Person:
As a person, The Devil represents anyone who tempts or coerces you to go against your greater good. Also, anyone who drains you of energy, finances, or resources because of their own "dance with the Devil"--addictions, jealousy, spitefulness.
The Devil as Timing:
Capricorn season (December 22 - January 19)
The Devil as Yes/No:
No
