What is the fuss about the Devil Card?
The Devil Card is the 15th (XV) card in any Tarot deck. It is one of the most important cards in a deck, well, the most hated card as well.

It can also mean that your partner might have anger issues or might be very stubborn or have bad habits or addictions.
If you are someone who is already in a relationship and you got the devil card, it means your relationship with that person has become stagnant or you might be in an unhealthy or abusive relationship.
