The Devil Tarot Year Card (15): Meaning and Birthdays

A year of The Devil

The Devil holds a year where attachments come into view: habits, appetites, debts, relationships or ambitions that have more hold on you than you would like. The figures on the card could slip their chains. The year often shows you exactly where you have that choice.

What the year asks

It asks you to look at what holds you without shame and to decide what you want to keep. Desire is not the problem; denial is. The shadow is blaming the chain instead of noticing your hand on it.

Sitting with it

List what you reach for when you are tired, bored or afraid. Choose one bond to loosen this year and watch what happens when you do.

Questions for the year

What holds me that I keep calling a choice?
Which desire have I been ashamed of, and why?
What would I do if this chain were looser than I think?
