XV The Devil – The Tempter (Saturn, Capricorn)

A Journey of Bondage, Desire, and Liberation

The Devil looms with chains, binding through fear or craving. He’s the shadow, revealing traps we forge—and the power to break them.

Astrological & Archetypal Insights:

Planetary Ruler – Saturn: Rules limits, fear, and structure, tightening his grip.  

Zodiac Association – Capricorn: Drives ambition and materialism, anchoring his chains.  

Mythological Connection – Pan/Typhon: Pan tempts with wild desire; Typhon, chaos monster, binds with dread.  

Jungian Archetype & Hero’s Journey: The Shadow, he tests Temperance’s peace with bondage.  

Numerology – 15: Illusion and challenge—five intensified by three’s creation.  

Elemental Tie – Earth: Heavy and binding, earth roots his hold.
