The Meaning of the Devil Tarot Card
The meanings of tarots are used in everyday life by some people to make important decisions concerning various issues in their lives. It is therefore important to understand the meanings of the cards that are involved in the reading. Though the meaning of these cards can be interpreted for an individual by the professionals who perform these tarot readings, learning these meanings may prove to be an advantage in some situations where one is not able to contact a tarot reader as one can discern the meanings on their own.

Devil Tarot Card
There are about 22 major tarot cards that are used to perform readings and among these is the tarot the devil. The devil tarot card has been misunderstood by some and this has led to confusion during amateur tarot reading sessions that are held by practicing individuals.
The tarot the devil sits at number 15 among the major tarot cards and is located in the second cycle of tarot readings.
Appearance
The devil tarot card has the image of a creature that represents the devil standing on a pillar. Chained to this pillar are the figures of a man and a woman. This picture does not change with different cards as all images relating to tarot cards are similar world wide.
Meaning
The image of the devil standing on the pillar is meant to represent the physical existence that binds all human beings to earth. The devil tarot card represents the evil that is present in society and the pillars are meant to represent the world itself. The figures of the male and females bound to the pillar are meant to symbolize the duality that holds us captive to life until the point that we are able to achieve self realization. The chain represents the fact that we have been bound to this duality involving life and rebirth while the two figures represent both sexes (male and female) in an attempt to reflect the fact that no one is exempt from this fact of life.
Application
The tarot the devil serves to represent the way the devil seeks to bind us to the lower levels of existence through the temptations that are directed towards us during our life time. Succumbing to these temptations can result in one not being able to reach a point of self realization that allows one access to higher levels of existence at the end of one’s life. These temptations can also be represented by the chains that bind the two figures to the pillar.
We experience this situation practically in the form of bad habits that have become difficult to abandon and have left us dependent on them and feelings of guilt that result from your involvement in these bad habits. These bad habits can include things such as smoking, drinking or over eating. A person who is trying to quit these habits might have the tendency to fall back to them during hard emotional times that they may experience. As a result of this, feelings of guilt creep up on our conscience making us feel even worse than we felt before. This can lead to an unhealthy cycle whereby the more the guilt we feel the more we turn to these bad habits for comfort.
