Pile 4

If you’ve picked this pile, The Devil encourages you to evaluate and focus on identifying the emotional issues and underlying causes of (behavioral) addictions, so we can begin to work through these unhealthy and negative behavior patterns. This could be anything from sex to social media, food to drinking, smoking to drugs. The Devil may be suggesting that you confront your demons. What are you addicted to or obsessed with? By facing and naming the issue, you can begin the process of untangling yourself. The Devil may also be pointing out that you’re in a toxic situation and perhaps need to begin looking at how you got there and how you can get out. You could be feeling indecisive, choosing between the “devil you know versus the one you don’t”. There is also an element of “being stuck”, which may indicate that you’re in a bind for the time being and may need to “give the devil his due.” Explore your shadow side. Don’t be afraid to go there, it just may be your source of healing. Remember, the chains are loose on The Devil, a sign that no matter how deep you’re in, there is a way out. Lastly, this may be a call to to learn to detach ourselves from people and circumstances which do not bring us the most growth and true happiness. The Devil advises that you show some spunk. There may be nothing to be gained by trying to be subtle or strategic in this situation. Assert your intentions, express yourself honestly, and let the chips fall where they may. Your best option could be to expressing your true emotions, even anger. Acknowledge that you have whatever feelings you have. While it may not be necessary to act out what you feel in every situation, accepting the power and depth of your inner experience enables you to remain true to yourself.
