"You're not stuck. You just think the chains are locked."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
The devil card represents our inner demons; he's often in a fiery pit with a kind of subversion of the garden of eden where adam and eve are chained to him. The devil reminds us of our potential salvation, while trying to shackle us to our fears that we will never be worthy of it
You are in a hell, and it's partly of your own making. The situation might be dire, but you deserve better and part of you knows it. Perhaps you are ruminating, calling an ex, or doing some other unhealthy coping mechanism to help the pain you feel inside. Focus on healing your inner child and wounds instead and your problems should become more manageable.
You've done the hard work to face the parts of yourself that you might not like. You dodged a bullet and made the healthy choice even though you were tempted to fall back into old patterns

The Devil for Taurus in Money and Wealth
The Builder
Saturn against Venus-ruled Taurus is the harder planet arriving in the softer register. It will feel like being asked to do without something Taurus normally uses to smooth things over. Upright, this is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
When reading about money through a Taurus lens, the Devil card says that you feel like money is proof you will not be abandoned, a problem you solve by having more than you need, and something you do not talk about. This has either meant accumulating without ever feeling safe, or knowing your number and defending it fiercely so you can actually rest. You have not looked at your full financial picture all at once, and the not-looking costs more than the looking would. The Taurus blind spot in it is the feeling that the ground is shifting under something they thought was permanent.
In practice that can look like a change in circumstance rather than an amount, or what money is for shifting. Whatever form it takes, it is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
