XV · The Devil
As the birth arcanum
Born under the Devil, you are given appetite and the question of who owns it. Magnetism, humour, material talent and a frank understanding of what people actually want all come with this arcanum — so does a pull towards excess, dependency and arrangements that are comfortable rather than free. Money and sexuality are live subjects in your life, not background. Your gift is honest power: you can look at the shadow in a room without flinching, which makes you formidable in business, in therapy and in any work with people in trouble. Your task is to hold the chain rather than wear it.
As the arcanum of the year
A year when attachments show themselves: desire, money, a person or habit with a grip on you. Temptation is genuine, and so is the chance to see plainly what you have been paying for. Material gain is likely, and so is a contract with a hook in it. Read everything twice.
As the arcanum of the day
A day of strong appetite. Enjoy it deliberately, and notice the exact moment enjoyment turns into obligation. Check the small print, and sign nothing you would rather not have to explain later.
