Tarot for Self-Care: The Devil

        

     

Summoning fire

Twisted, wicked fantasy

Dreaming in shadows

The Devil reminds us that everybody has a shadow side that needs to be acknowledged, embraced, and loved.  But when you learn to rise above it, you can make your dreams come true.  Recognize and rise above ego-based thoughts and behaviors , for humility and authenticity are the keys to your success.  Swallow your pride to improve your current situation and your quality of life.  By admitting when you’re wrong and choosing to see another’s point of view you raise your vibrations.  Let go of your need to be right or in control.  To overpower, belittle, or punish another goes against the nature of your soul.  When you have the courage to own up to your own mistakes you build character, inner strength, and self-esteem.  It opens the door for resolution and creates better relationships with others.
