Depending on Others Context
In short, today, I needed to depend on others to do something for me. My notes don’t say what the dependency entails. However, my priorities aren’t those of others, and I get that – but it can be oh so stressful! So, here is what I have written in my ‘diary’: I hate depending on other people, but I’m aware of my limitations and understand I need help.
In taking a philosophical and karmic perspective, when I need to depend on others and get frustrated. This frustration might be karmic repayment for when I’m late to events where others depend upon me to attend. Let’s face it, I’m not usually the life of the party, so I don’t feel I’m a necessary part of any particular event.
That’s all I had in my notes, and maybe that’s all I needed for the analysis. Let’s see!
Today's Cards
The Cards - Depending on Others Analysis
Carryover Cards
No cards carried over from yesterday.
Cross
Firstly, Morality in the Distant Past suggests that I haven’t always followed expectations or rules. And I’m Now becoming aware (Awareness) of my tardiness’ impact on others. Luckily, it’s an innocent situation that is bringing about my Awareness. Alas, no dire consequences but a gentle hint to cause the awakening.
My Goal of Laziness caused the whole situation. By avoiding some activities that I wanted to get done, I forced myself into the “last minute”, which takes longer than a minute! This “last minute” then impacts how others depend upon me because it causes me to be late.
Secondly, in the Recent Past is Participation. Since it’s Sunday, and I’m expecting Audrey’s visit. My guess is my frustration in depending upon others involves the scurryfunge before she arrives. Participation is possible because I’ve had my husband running in all sorts of directions or didn’t request assistance early enough.
The last card of the first six, or the cross-component, is The Dream, suggesting although I’m developing an Awareness and my desire to rectify it. I am going to continue to be frustrated in depending upon others. 😟
Base
In contrast, my Feelings reflect The Lovers, which is about harmony, unity and teamwork.
On the other hand, Others’ Views of me is that I need to exercise more Patience. Really? 🥱
In the Hopes & Fears position is me hoping that the Awareness will lead to a Breakthrough but fearing that the Awareness is simply a passing phase due to my current discontent.
Finally, Receptivity in the Outcome position implies I’m at least open to the idea of altering some bad habits and maybe removing the frustration of depending on others.
