Upright
The chains we choose. The Devil reveals where attachment, addiction, or fear binds you, often to things you could release if you looked closely.
Reversed — a chain beginning to loosen
Breaking free, confronting the shadow, and reclaiming power. You are beginning to loosen the chains and see the illusion of your captivity.
Why this card
Bondage of one's own making — attachment, appetite, and the shadow you'd rather not name.
Capricorn — climbing ambition.
