The Devil in Finances & Money Readings
Financially, The Devil represents money obsession, debt bondage, or allowing material desires to control your life. This card can indicate being trapped in cycles of overspending and debt, gambling problems, or financial decisions driven by greed rather than wisdom. The Devil may represent feeling enslaved to financial obligations, working solely for money without regard for personal fulfillment, or allowing fear of poverty to drive poor financial choices. This card can also indicate financial deception, get-rich-quick schemes, or using money to manipulate others. The Devil reminds you that true security comes from inner wisdom, not external wealth. As an Earth card, The Devil has natural affinity with material and financial matters.
