This time I have used the Rider Waite deck, since no other sports such neat coincidences. I wonder if this is what he intended in the first place...

I know nobody would think of the Devil as an angel, but he is, specially according to the Scriptures: the fallen angel, once the favorite and the most beautiful and talented. Observe the amazing similitudes between the Lovers and the Devil: it could be the same couple. Love can both free us or chain us, depending on how we chose to live through it (correction: we hardly chose in love matters).

So, let me tell you a possible story with these 6 cards...

We meet the love of our lives and suddenly feel incomplete without the other (no longer the happy-go-lucky Fool on his own). If we cannot overcome this initial feeling (you know, the initial passion, desperate waits by the phone, laughing and crying for no reason...), the relationship can become addictive for one, stifling for the other and twisted in other ways.

We usually overcome this stage by applying a more temperate approach, once the first madness is over. If we cannot do this by ourselves, life will find a way to call us back to line, even calls us "out" of a relationship that can be harmful.

If we still cannot take the step, then reinforcements will be called in: not one, but four archangels will come to our rescue and change a situation that we are unable to change for ourselves. The final result, whether we are still in a couple or alone once again, is a feeling of completeness, of being one, no longer separated or lacking anything within ourselves: we have risen above the separate stage to become one with the whole world. But, just in case, the 4 archangels are still on the lookout  

Believe it or not, The Devil is actually an angel, well an archangel actually. There 4 archangel, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. The devil represent Uriel, the archangel of light and darkness.
