Combination of card Four of Cups and card The Devil
The combination of the direct Devil and direct Four of Cups paints a picture of chains that a person has placed on themselves, turning away from chances of liberation.

Fear of change proves stronger than rational arguments.

The first step to freedom is recognizing one's own shackles.

Reversed Devil with upright Four of Cups – a paradoxical combination. Chains are off, but the person seems frozen in a prisoner's pose.
