Upright Devil Meaning
Your “dark” side is taking the lead in your life. You might be interested, or even addicted, to something that is considered forbidden or bad for you, but you are enjoying it way too much to be able to quit quickly. However, you are aware of the consequences that this might have in the long run. Try to slowly take power over the desires that don’t serve you, but don’t restrict yourself too much - it can have the opposite effect.
Affirmation
I am stronger than my addictions and I can overcome them by mindfulness.
Reversed Devil Meaning
It’s time to release your limiting beliefs, unhealthy attachments or thought patterns and make a positive change. It might be difficult to detach at first, but you will realize how much better you feel when you are free from the chains of negativity. Look deep inside yourself, your desires and emotions and face them without fear. Only by knowing yourself fully will you be able to reach your highest potential.
Affirmation
I am detaching myself from everything that is keeping me away from being completely free.
