Here’s the spoiler-card story again, and again as the very first card. The Devil, yet. He is being a problem, a difficulty, the worst, disabilities, your dark side, a bad situation, the worst part. The Devil is being his ugly self here, doing his devil job.
The next two Rider Waite Tarot cards mean great success: Wheel of Fortune means miracle, wonderful, the best possible, to best advantage, good luck, high stakes, and it shows what looks like a roulette wheel with all kinds of occult critters and symbols. I think the wheel is karma? Anyway, the other success card is Chariot, which means to get ahead, to achieve, to arrive, to be a master or expert, to manage, and so on. It also means a vehicle of any kind (even an aircraft or boat), which turns the light the Hermit is carrying into a headlight. The charioteer in the illustration is a master of his wayward steeds who will arrive at his destination despite them rather than because of them, and he is very sure of his skill and ability to do so.
Over them all is the Hermit, the one who knows, the helpful person, looking for a way, finding or showing a way, looking for ___, the physician or healer, looking at or analyzing, the calm and patient person. The illustration shows the monk out at night with his light on the road looking to help with a traveler’s problem. So, both Hermit and Chariot have expert knowledge and skills.
So we have a disabled thing that is the problem; a miracle; the one who made this happen; and the knowledge to have done that. This is the simple story, the main story. The advice derived from the story is to pay attention to the downside, go looking for the problem and capitalize on it, base your success on the downside as well as the upside, get the two working in tandem for you (like those steeds of the Charioteer). How to do this? – Hermit is analysis, a really good look, a patient approach. So, yes, you go looking for the devil to use him to fund your success. Happy hunting!
