Today’s Soul Card: The Devil

Reclaiming Your Power Before the New Moon

Soul Card of the Day: The Devil

Deck: Afro-Brazilian Tarot

Moon Phase: Waning Crescent transitioning into the New Moon

Moon Sign: Gemini

New Moon: Tonight at 10:54 p.m. Eastern

Today’s Soul Card is The Devil from the Afro-Brazilian Tarot — a card that invites us to look honestly at attachment, temptation, illusion, fear, control, and the places where we may be giving our power away.

Before we go deeper, it is important to say this clearly:

Exu is not the devil.

In many Afro-diasporic and Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions, Exu is often misunderstood because of colonial, Christianized, or fear-based interpretations that labeled trickster, crossroads, and messenger spirits as “evil.” But Exu is not the Christian devil. Exu is a powerful orixa connected with communication, movement, choice, crossroads, messages, and the opening of pathways.

In the Afro-Brazilian Tarot deck, Exu is associated with The Fool, not The Devil. That distinction matters.

The Devil card today is not here to demonize Exu, Candomblé, or trickster energy. Instead, this card asks us to examine the human shadow: the patterns, fears, cravings, stories, and attachments that can keep us bound when our soul is ready to be free.

The Devil asks:

What has power over me because I keep feeding it?

Where am I calling something “freedom” when it is actually keeping me stuck?

What pattern am I ready to name before this New Moon begins?

With the Moon in Gemini, today’s energy is especially connected to the mind, words, thoughts, choices, nervous system patterns, and the stories we repeat to ourselves. Gemini can bring clarity, but it can also create mental loops.

Overthinking.Text checking.

Mixed signals.

Temptation to react.

Talking yourself into what your spirit already knows is not aligned.

As the Moon moves from the Waning Crescent phase into tonight’s New Moon, this is a powerful threshold moment. The Waning Crescent is the final release before a new cycle begins. The New Moon is the dark womb of possibility — the place where new intentions are planted.

But before something new can begin, something old may need to be named.
