Well, the 9-day intensive program of my MFA program is done and now I'm freeeeee! 
But I'm not, really, because now the really hard work begins and I have a bunch of projects to turn in this summer, no set schedule to do them except one I have to make myself, and no one to keep me on task. 
So while the freedom is a very reversed Devil place to be, so is the ability to slag off. I'd better make sure I get it right.
​Read on to learn more about the Devil reversed!

1. Breaking free of restraint or addiction
2. Reclaiming personal power
3. Detachment or avoidance
4. Finding balance between light and dark

Devil is attachment, self-victimization, and addiction. The pictured baby is trapped, surrounded by material desires, and unsure of what to do. While this card is indicative of addictions, greed, and learned helplessness, it is a hopeful message that you can break free of your limitations. 
For example, this baby could start screaming, and I'm sure its parents would pull it out of the metal cage pretty quickly.
​What's your metal cage? Start screaming.
