The
Devil
Astrological
association:
Capricorn
Represented in this case by a Gorgon, who has control over two other figures, the Devil is shown as an ancient Wise One who's ultimate power can dominate or damn.
The Devil reveals old wisdoms and as such the rediscovering of inner passions and deep emotions....often those that come from the deepest hidden depths within the soul. There is strong sexual energy here and to some extent, spiritual renewal is also present. Domination and controlling forces are also at play here. Though the symbolism of this card is dark, it is not necessarily for that reason, evil.
reversed
Obsessive and compulsive behaviour; misdirected passion and the darker consequences of these. The inability to think clearly, and being held back.
