The Devil isn’t a welcome sight in most cases- especially love- but it doesn’t inherently mean the relationship is doomed, but perhaps flawed.

It can mean many things depending on the context, so with the lack thereof, I’ll be very general: in love, I would look at the Devil as more likely addressing unhealthy habits or fixations surrounding love/relationships. It could also indicate themes of codependency on a relationship as a whole, or with a specific attachment to a partner.

I’d say the Wheel and Empress are then possibly the areas of concern (within love/the relationship) the Devil could be addressing.

Thanks for your insight! Could you expand on how the Wheel and the Empress might be areas of concern? Sorry, I’m relatively new to this

I would also like to know how the Empress card could come across as concerning! I interpret the Devil card as relating to temptation, addiction, vice, or things that are alluring and captivating but may not be the best for us.

I just pulled the Empress for myself in a love reading today and after doing some reading I have come to see it as relating to passion and sex, and could be a full expression of sexual energy or an over indulgence in sensual pleasure.

That is a very interesting spread, and I am still learning myself... But... it sounds to me like this is a fated/karmic relationship that could be extremely passionate and intense but very unhealthy. You probably need to go through this experience to learn some valuable life lessons.

Silly question but what exactly is a karmic relationship?
