Okay, so today I wanna share my experience with “the devil reversed” as feelings. I did a tarot reading and pulled out the devil card, but it was reversed.
My Tarot Reading Experience
So, I started by shuffling the deck, really trying to focus on my question. I wanted to know about my feelings towards a certain situation. After I felt like I’d shuffled enough, I cut the deck and pulled a card from the top.
And bam! It was the Devil, but upside down. My first thought was, “Oh crap, what kind of negativity is this?” But then, I remembered reversed cards can have different meanings, often the opposite of the upright ones. So, I didn’t freak out immediately.
Figuring Out the Meaning
I did a bit of digging around, trying to piece together what this reversed Devil could mean in terms of feelings. I saw some people online talking about how the upright Devil is all about being trapped or stuck in bad habits or toxic relationships. So, reversed, it made sense that it could mean the opposite – like, breaking free from that stuff.
- Breaking Free: I realized this could mean I’m starting to break free from some negative thought patterns or behaviors that have been holding me back.
- Taking Back Control: It also felt like a sign that I’m taking back control of my life and not letting external factors dictate my feelings or actions as much.
- Facing My Shadow: Some interpretations I saw mentioned facing your “shadow self,” which is basically the parts of yourself you don’t like or try to hide. This resonated because I’ve been trying to be more honest with myself about my flaws and work on them.
Putting It Into Practice
After figuring out what the reversed Devil might mean, I started to think about how I could apply this to my actual life. This involved me taking a long hard look at where I felt stuck or held back by my own fears and insecurities.
I started small, by setting boundaries with people who were draining my energy. This was super tough at first, but it really did start to make a difference in how I felt. I also started to consciously challenge my negative thoughts. Whenever I caught myself spiraling into self-doubt, I would stop and try to reframe my thinking. It became a feeling of moving from being trapped to becoming free.
Reflecting on the Outcome
Looking back, pulling the Devil reversed was a real wake-up call for me. It wasn’t about being doomed or anything like that. Instead, it was a push to start making some positive changes. I am still a work in progress, no doubt. I still have days where I feel like I’m back in old patterns. But overall, I feel a lot more in control of my feelings and my life. It’s like I’m slowly but surely breaking free from the chains that were holding me back. And that, my friends, is a pretty awesome feeling, in a real sense. And I felt a great feeling of getting released from my bonds.
So yeah, that’s my story about the Devil reversed as feelings. It’s a reminder that even seemingly negative cards can have positive messages, especially when they’re reversed. Tarot is a tool that can help you reflect on your life. It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. It’s about understanding yourself better and making choices that help you grow. Hope this helps someone else who pulls this card.
