The Devil whispers in your ear: ‘If it feels good, do it.’ Thus, if there is a cherished worldly ambition you have held back from pursing, now is the time to go for it. The Devil simply cautions you to maintain a spiritual perspective so that you can avoid becoming ensnared by your material ambitions and adopt a twisted view of the world.

Complete Book of Tarot: The Zodiac Spread is laid out in the same way as the Houses of the Horoscope spread. The difference is that instead of interpreting the cards in the context of the individual houses, which represent distinct fields of life experience, the reader interprets the cards with reference to the archetypal meanings of the signs of the zodiac, which represent modes of being or ways of behaving in the world. An additional feature of this spread is that each zodiac sign is associated with a major arcana card that should enter into the interpretation.
