The Major Arcana Tarot card associated with Capricorn is XV Devil.
By Michelle Crandell
THE DEVIL: Tarot’s Major Arcana card corresponding to the zodiac sign, Capricorn. The natural gifts available to Capricorns are reflected by this card. Mirth combined with stability; facing bedevilments with tenacity; sure-footedness and doing life step by step are personal qualities Capricorns can utilize to actualize their potential. They are vital, joyful, and grounded. A healthy Devil enjoys their sensuality without becoming addicted. They are productive and skilled at knowing how to bring their creative energies into the material world. They are willing to work and rework a solution slowly over time.
Challenges: Professional and personal relationships. People like to be around The Devil. Earthiness, sensual appeal, productivity, and a sense of humor make a magnetic personality. Likewise, Capricorns see others as creative resources and invaluable teachers. However, The Devil’s tendency to take things too seriously and to be hard on others can limit relationship possibilities. Laughing at humanness brings The Devil back to balance; laughing at other people harms relationships. Becoming suspicious when things are going well makes The Devil unsafe.
The Devil card teaches that spirituality can prevail over base human nature. Avoid indulgence in the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, wrath, sloth, envy, gluttony, and lust. They are choices. So are the Seven Heavenly Virtues: love, justice, prudence, temperance, courage, faith, and hope.
Archetypes: The Devil, Pan, goats, Bacchus, Dionysus, Westen dragons, Ra, Tantra.
