Devil's in the details...

I was wondering what The Devil (upright) would mean in the position of "expected outcome" in a relationship spread. does it mean free from being clamped down or what? thanks.
It could mean a decision...
In the Tarot de Paris, it is called Energy...and of course the Devil card always reduces to the VI, The lovers card. But this does not mean its about a person or sex or evil.
It means that the relationship is going to have a lot of high energy, and if one is not careful they may make a choice or do something they may later regret. NOT always the whole relationship or a person...
It could be that they jump in too soon. It could mean that the other person has a devil on their shoulder that could need to be dealt with. It might mean there will be temptation to run away from it cause the energy is so intense. The Lovers card is not always about physical love...in fact it is often about Karmic or cosmic love. It is about testing and discovering the depth of our love or our relationships.
A lot of it depends on the cards around it. Alot of it depends on the person it is describing.
The DeVinci Enigma calls it pleasure and pain...maybe He will bring out the hidden "freak" in you...giggles..."baby get your freak on" Maybe he will show you how to keep the energy in your relationship...
Many Devil cards have the symbol of the sign it falls under...Capricorn ...it might have a goat or horns on it...it is representitive of Pan who is the God of excess...Maybe He will be a whirlwind love affair and spoil you rotten...then you will have to come back to reality...
Maybe you are being held in fear or guilt of letting go and going forward and it again will be a decision to make...
SOOOO MANY THINGS
My best suggestion...lay another card...get some clarification...sometimes the answer...the outcome is not as simple as one card...sometimes it takes a couple to really understand the full meal deal
love
