Each card as a prompt

What each archetype can bring into focus

The Devil

As a reflection prompt, The Devil can point toward naming what has power over you without shame. Its possible tension is confusing a familiar pattern with an unchangeable fact.

The Lovers

As a reflection prompt, The Lovers can point toward choosing relationships and values with your whole heart. Its possible tension is avoiding a necessary choice to preserve harmony.
