Meaning of Despotism in the Oracle
de Belline in Love

Single: You draw Despotism in Love

Beware of smooth talkers…

You just can’t seem to find the right match. Time after time, you fall for the same type of people. You attract individuals who enjoy bending you to their demands.

At first, they are smooth talkers who charm you with their sweet words and tender gestures. But their true nature soon takes over. They end up dictating their wishes to you.

You go out where they want, you speak only when they tell you to open your mouth, and they forbid you to see your friends or take part in certain activities.

Beware of these kinds of characters; don’t fall into their traps—you deserve better.

Couple: You draw Despotism in Love

You deserve better…

You feel a constant anxiety when you are with your partner. It is hard for you to make your own choices; whatever your wishes, you never get the final say.

Your partner takes advantage of you, decides everything, and you can’t say a word without drawing their wrath. Do you really want to live in fear day after day and have no control over your own life?

Love means knowing how to listen to the other and living out your own desires while respecting theirs. It means walking two different paths while staying side by side. It certainly does not mean having your actions and words dictated to you by your loved one!

Set things straight, say what you have to say, and walk away!

Hell at work

It is time to change jobs! Make a quick getaway! You don’t feel like you belong where you are. Your superiors pile work onto you and have ways of speaking to you that border on psychological harassment.

You are not in a good atmosphere. You work endless hours, you are told what to do all the time. You are worn out, and your exhaustion is both physical and mental.

It might be better to start looking for a new job where you feel heard, understood and fulfilled.

Beware of cults !

You are not in a good position to tell the difference between a well-meaning person and a guru. Be wary of the people you meet who will use your naivety to enlist you into sectarian movements.

Don’t believe everything you are told; learn to weigh things up and don’t accept everything. Instead, surround yourself with those close to you if you are going through a difficult time.
