The Devil card is one of the most feared and misunderstood cards in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. It is represented by a horned figure with wings, often portrayed as a demon or devil. The card is often associated with the zodiac sign Capricorn and the element of earth. At its core, the Devil card represents the idea of bondage, addiction, and materialism. The horned figure on the card represents the shadow self, the part of us that is driven by our baser instincts and desires. The chains around the figures' necks and wrists suggest the idea of bondage and being trapped in our own desires and fears.
