Past - Death
This seems relevant. Purging, letting go of the past, transformation. The divorce and the death of my mother are very literal endings. Yes, this is definitely making sense to me.

Present - 10 of wands
Also makes sense to me. Hard work, extra responsibility, feeling burned out. Yeah, I’m feeling it. Also, the end of a cycle, you’re almost there.

Bonus Present - 6 of wands
There was a card stuck and I intuitively placed it as a bonus card for the present. This is a very validating card and made me tear up a little bit. Progress, recognition, succes. Reaching a milestone, you’re being cheered on. Thank you, Universe, I needed this card.

Future - The Devil
This is such a cold shower after the 6 of wands. I don’t like to swear but I couldn’t help it when I turned this card. Shadow self, addiction, restriction. Being confronted with your own darkness, toxic relationship. Nooooooo…, I don’t want it.

Can anybody help me to see the benefits of pulling the Devil card as the one describing my future?

I’ve searched a little bit more on internet and like difficult transits, challenging tarot cards also provide the opportunity to become more aware of certain behavior. I’m having a difficult time right now because I’ve kept going for so long without honoring my own needs. I’m a very practical person and tend to ignore my emotions. It has blown up in my face and now I’m experiencing burn out symptoms. The Devil card is connected to Capricorn and Saturn with lots of focus on the material world and not taking good care of yourself.

In that context, this card is asking me to take a look at the behavior that is focused on material well being but is harming me in the long run. I need to take better care of myself. The shackles or thought patterns that keep me in my position, can be taken off at any time. I need to free myself from their hold.
