The Devil: Yes or No
What answer the The Devil card gives to a yes or no question: “no”, and how to treat it.
Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of The Devil: “No”
The Devil speaks of dependence, temptation and a trap. In a yes or no question he leans to “no”: the decision may bind you more tightly than it seems.
What the answer depends on
The answer depends on whether your choice is free. If you do something out of fear or advantage, “no” protects you.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “No”. The reversed Devil softens the answer: you begin to free yourself, and “no” turns into “maybe” with honesty towards yourself.
What to do next
Ask yourself what you pay for this choice, and decide with the price in mind.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: The Devil in love is strong attraction, passion and dependence. If the question is about work: The Devil at work is dependence on status, money or a boss.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “dependence” in my situation? Is the lack of “temptation” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “attachment”?
