What they mean together
The Devil brings attachment and The Moon brings confusion. Watch out for lies, secrets, or fears that feed on obsession. Not everything is what it seems, inside you or outside.
In love
Jealousy, distrust, or a relationship with something hidden. Don't imagine the worst without proof, and don't ignore the signs either.
Career and money
Murky information, or someone who isn't playing fair. Double-check everything.
An example
Suppose you ask whether someone is being honest with you and The Devil and The Moon come out. Go carefully. Something isn't fully visible, and your own fears may be making it bigger. Before you accuse anyone or cut them off, look for concrete facts and observe. If there are repeated signs that don't add up, don't ignore them. If there's only unease with no evidence, work on that anxiety before you decide. Talking plainly about what worries you often clears up more than one ghost.
By position in the spread
In the past
A deception or an obsession left you distrustful. That old hurt may be coloring how you see things now.
In the present
There's confusion and attachment at the same time. Before any big decision, get clear on what's actually going on.
In the future
Doubts or misleading information are coming. Keep your eyes open and get everything in writing.
If they come up reversed
With The Devil reversed, you're starting to let go of the obsession and the deception loses its grip. With The Moon reversed, the truth starts to come out and your fears get clearer. If both are reversed, that's good news, because the fog lifts and you get your control back. With just one reversed, things improve, but keep being careful.
Look for facts before you feed your fears.
