10 Ways To Read a Tarot Card: A Thread

(CW: NSFW Pics of Cards)
There is no one way to read a card. Its meaning will always depend on your question and the answer you seek. Here are ten different ways to read a card, because no one meaning is ever correct.
In this thread, we will use a card and read it in 10 different ways: The Devil.
πŸ™. 𝔹π•ͺ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 π”Ήπ• π• π•œ
-The classic meaning of a card is based on historical Tarot books and the Little White Book. Refer to the book as a reference point.
-The Classic Meaning of the Devil is bondage, slavery, materialism, addiction.
𝟚. 𝔸𝕀 𝕒 β„™π•–π•£π•€π• π•Ÿ
-Describe a card as a person. Turn its meanings into a person, and what would it be like?
-The Devil is a card for those who are in bondage; a tyrannical boss. An abusive father. A person trapped in addiction. A toxic partner. Or, just a Capricorn.
πŸ›. 𝔸𝕀 𝕒 π”½π•–π•–π•π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜
-Describe a card as a feeling. Turn the classic meaning into a concrete emotion that can describe the card.
-Instead of addiction, the Devil is an addictive situation. Instead of bondage, there's passion. Instead of chains, there's unwavering commitment

-Tarot Cards have an astrological significance. Use their astrological meanings to decipher a question about time.
-The Devil rules Saturn and Capricorn. Therefore, its appearance in a reading can denote January-Feb, or a Saturn-ruled transit.
𝟝. 𝔸𝕀 𝕒 ℝ𝕖𝕝𝕒π•₯π•šπ• π•Ÿπ•€π•™π•šπ•‘
-Read a card through how it presents itself as a type of relationship. The Magician can be a Magical relationship, while Strength can be a devoted one.
-The Devil is a relationship with chains. Something built to last. Or something binding.
𝟞. 𝔸𝕀 𝕒 𝕄𝕖π•₯𝕒𝕑𝕙𝕠𝕣
-Tarot is a language of metaphors. Instead of simple book meanings, interpretations can be extended with poetic and wise aphorisms.
-The Devil card can be described as "the chain that binds us", "the weakest link", "bottom of the food chain"
𝟟. 𝔸𝕀 π•’π•Ÿ π”Όπ•Ÿπ•§π•šπ•£π• π•Ÿπ•žπ•–π•Ÿπ•₯
-Tarot cards are open to interpretation. Sometimes, a card can just describe a place and its characteristics.
-The Devil can be a hot place, a place with metal. A place that is dark, desolate, filled with traps.
𝟠. 𝔸𝕀 π•Šπ• π•žπ•–π•₯π•™π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜ β„™π• π•€π•šπ•₯π•šπ•§π•–/β„•π•–π•˜π•’π•₯π•šπ•§π•–
-One of the greatest skills a reader has is to turn a negative card into its inverse. Practice this to give encouraging but honest messages.
-The Devil is something filled with passion, fueled by human desire, raw.
𝟑. 𝔸𝕀 π•’π•Ÿ 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕖π•₯π•ͺ𝕑𝕖
-Tarot cards were based on both astrology and mythological archetypes. Use your historical knowledge to divine a meaning.
-The Devil, based on God's fallen angel Lucifer. The Devil, based on Dante's inferno. All-consuming. Proud. Human. Soulful.

-Arguably the most important skill is to discern a reversed meaning in a Tarot card. Use it wisely to describe if or when a situation calls for it.
-With the chains slipping away, freedom is now at bay. Liberation is here to stay.
