How does Capricorn connect to tarot?
Capricorn brings ambition and discipline to tarot. The Devil card embodies Capricorn's complex relationship with material success and the chains that ambition can create, while the Pentacles suit captures their dedication to building lasting wealth and achievement.
Capricorn's trump is The Devil, and the three decan cards below are the Pentacles cards assigned to this sign in Book T, printed in The Equinox (1912).
Earth signs use Pentacles because that suit is the earth suit in the Minor Arcana.
The link runs through a Hebrew letter, not the sign's ruling planet, so it will not match a chart that pairs planets with trumps. Treat it as a symbolic crosswalk for reflection.

What is Capricorn's Major Arcana card?
The Devil is the tarot card most strongly linked to Capricorn. As your Major Arcana significator, this card holds a special mirror to your core personality traits and life themes.
The Devil meaning (Major Arcana XV) is bondage, materialism, shadow self, and unhealthy attachments. It shows chains we place on ourselves through habits or limiting beliefs—chains loose enough to remove. Linked to Capricorn and Earth as encyclopedia context, it invites you to name what holds you back. PullTarot frames it as reflection, not a diagnosis.
What does The Devil mean upright?
The Devil (Major Arcana XV) is read as self-imposed limitation, attachment, and the illusion of having no choice. The figures look chained, but the chains are loose enough to lift. In a spread it asks you to name a habit, appetite, or story of powerlessness—as symbolic reflection, not a verdict that you or anyone else is evil, and not a diagnosis.
What does The Devil mean reversed?
Reversed, The Devil often shows a pattern being named: loosening a habit, questioning a deal you stayed in for comfort, or seeing that a chain was optional. That is a prompt to keep going with honest self-assessment—not a guarantee of recovery, a breakup, or a spiritual awakening. Treat it as reflection, not medical or legal advice.
