The Devil
The Devil brings to light attachments, desires, power relations and what holds sway. It also shows what comes undone.

A horned figure dominates two characters bound by wide chains. A torch is held downwards near them, and the faces stay turned to the ground.
Naming what attracts and what holds gives a grip on the attachment. What is said clearly can be negotiated and limited, and a recognised desire stops being automatic.
An attachment kept alive by small concessions narrows your room to move. Immediate pleasure comes before what lasts, and what was chosen becomes a constraint.
RWS. Arcana XV. Waite takes up the medieval devil and signals, through the inverted torch, a desire that turns against itself.
Look without judgement at what holds you and what attracts you. Check whether the link still serves your interests, then decide what you keep.
