Traditionally, no. XV is the Devil card, in the formal Tarot. It addresses obsessions and often uses the imagery of the goat to represent the more animalistic side of human nature.
In the Chinese Zodiac, the goat (sheep/deer/herd animals) actually refers to socialization, connectivity, and positive relationships, including of course, with our environment and the animal kingdom. Chinese culture always seeks the middle ground and balance in relationships. For the Inner Light Moon Oracle, this card uses the goat theme and turns it towards the light.
