Star83 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 So the point of this thread is I want to hear people's actual experiences with this cards in relation to readings they have regarding attraction. I've done so many readings for ppl where the devil came up in the position of the person's attraction. I see many threads about it on the net but lots of ppl are talking based on assumption of the card. So basically, if a person asks if someone is attracted to them, and they get this card, have you found it does mean that person is sexually obsessed with the querent? Or do you see more anger and jealousy and hatefulness instead. Thank you.
DanielJUK Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 I've seen it come up in readings people posted online of marriage because you are chained to each other and it's like a contract. They want to get married, so it's not always negative. But a 'Devil' marriage has a huge risk of one side feeling trapped later on or codependency. However with positive cards around (say the Lovers) it could be a very close bond! In my experiences so far, it's always a lustful attraction which is from the shadow side of ourselves. Our fantasies (bondage, domination, dependencies), no strings attached fun. It nearly always represents the negative of our shadow side, fears of relationships or committing, addiction and materialism. Like wanting to be with someone because you are attracted to them or because you are scared of being alone and need a dependent. There is an obsession and drive with this card, someone could be sexually obsessed, even to stalkerish levels but it depends on the reading and what else came up. But this would be the feelings of lust rather than a love connection probably, it probably comes from an unhealthy or codependent place. Like wanting someone because they feel lonely or wanting sex because there is no commitment and they would feel better about themselves. I don't really see it as anger or hatefulness really. So yes they are attracted to them but depending on the other cards, it's probably not a good type of attraction or anything more than that. However with a positive love card around, it could show a very special connection.
Star83 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Posted May 13, 2018 Thank you. I'd have to agree with your opinion cos I have the same views, but I just wanted it confirmed with other people's experience with this card. I do remember for myself I once drew this card to represent what my relationship was like with my first bf. The devil was most definitely it. It started off highly passionate and lustful. Naughty. He brought out the naughty side in me. He was addicted to drugs though, which I didn't like. And he was obsessed with sex. After a year I got sick of him and found him clingy and he acted like my father. Telling me how I should do this and what I should wear etc. I felt chained to him for sure. When I broke up with me he couldn't handle it and even today, 17 years later he is still revengeful.
Star83 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Posted May 13, 2018 Oh and as for love - I remember with one reading I did for someone the empress came up in the how he feels about her position. So I take it there was love and combined with the devil, definite sexual attraction.

Its interesting you say that because my devil card is a barron tree in a mirror, and its desolate and lonely, which kinda mirrors what you have said above :D
tarotsquared Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I am in agreement. I see the Devil card in relationships as having an addictive or obsessive nature to it. Sometimes relationships that start out with a strong sexual attraction and " sudden love" are because you are falling in love with yourself. During the start of a relationship where there is chemistry, the other person is mirroring back to you the positive qualities that you see in yourself, not necessarily who they are or the tone of the relationship. I would caution to the querent to slow things down and watch for indication that there is solid footing here. like honesty, respect and integrity.

This is very good advice if you want that in a relationship. But sometimes, I think that addictive obsessive lust is something we al need to experience :).

Would you say then that somewhat a person can become self engrossed and self sabotage the relationship should the devil card arise?
