1. self bondage and stuff like that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_(Tarot_card)
2. Death is death. Get it? You will. Now, the answer to this question provides perhaps the clearest illustration of a Tarotic rule: simple answers inevitably veil more complex indications. But, if you're counting on that to get you out of Death, or death, you're out of luck, or rather utterly into luck, which doesn't necessarily mean good luck, does it? The thing is life itself is a series of infinite deaths, infinitely discrete stops or terminations where a mood, a thought, a love or a hate, or a memory, cherished or otherwise—or a life—expires. A breath is a death. And then there is the final breath, the whispered clarion of death. So, death is the fundamental requirement for life, and the meaningful experience of it. Everything we think, do, or care anything about is framed by death, and our sentence of death. It is almost as if life is but an ornament or fruit of death, the peculiarly glittering human stars briefly budding the black tree of death. So, you see, you didn't just get the Death card.
3. self centered
4. up right it means bondage and self imposed limits. ur holding urself back and are finding it hard to let go. u are making things worse for urself by not making way for neccassary change reversed it means that you are able to break the self imposed bonds that hold you, but you are too slow. you need to have faith in yourself. hope that helpd xx
5. Overly concerned with material things, thinking that is all that there is, addiction, limitation, weakness, oppression, but also, realizing that the Cosmos is made up of the dark as well as the light, and understanding that is how it should be...accepting the horror, so to speak...
6. The devil usually represents some vice, a bad habit or something along those lines. I've seen it come up most often with people who have drug or alcohol addiction issues. Most recently I've seen it come up with a girl who was a cutter. In single card pulls it could be a sign to either watch out for one of your own bad habits to cause you troubles or that you might have some negative influence from another person coming your way. It's more or less a caution card.
7. The Devil card normally indicates a strong connection to the physical, as opposed to the "sacred." I used to do readings for a lot of college students. This card came up alot. When you're worried about your ability to pay tuition and room and board next semester, you're obviously going to be tied to the physical. There is no "demonic" aspect to any of the cards. I've seen the Devil card renamed the Puzzle Box in some decks.
