The Devil as feelings
Intense attraction with a pull that is hard to resist is the Devil's mood. This person may feel strongly drawn to you, perhaps physically, perhaps obsessively, sometimes against their better judgement.
As feelings, upright
Intense attraction with a pull that is hard to resist is the Devil's mood. This person may feel strongly drawn to you, perhaps physically, perhaps obsessively, sometimes against their better judgement. The connection can be compelling and also bound up with fear, jealousy or need.
As feelings, reversed
Awareness is breaking through these feelings. Someone may be recognising an unhealthy pattern with you and trying to step out of it, or loosening their grip on a fixation. This can feel like cooling, though it often means a healthier footing is possible.
What it says about love
Attraction with a hook in it: desire, jealousy, habit, a bond you keep returning to even when it costs you. Not all of it is bad; passion lives here too. The card asks whether you are choosing this or chained to it.
The person behind the feelings
Magnetic and intense, the Devil as a person tends to draw others in. They may be charismatic and fun, while also prone to control, indulgence or keeping people hooked. Their influence can be strong enough that others lose sight of their own choices.
Feelings it can stir in you
Upright, The Devil is about bondage, attachment and shadow; reversed, about release, awareness and breaking a habit. If the question is how you feel, read it as a mirror rather than a verdict.
