Description

This card reflects a heavy load of responsibilities and pride from achieving a goal. It may represent a mid-level manager who prefers to do the work themselves due to distrust in the quality of their subordinates' work. Some tasks can be delegated, but whether out of pride or distrust, one person ends up doing everything.

Delegation

If the burden of responsibility becomes too much, work can be distributed. However, it should be accepted that the work may not meet extremely high standards and could reflect the personality of the person who performs it. Managers with this attitude may sometimes perform tasks outside their responsibilities to ensure things are done correctly. This attitude can negatively affect performance evaluations.

Personal Barriers

The card can also indicate a desire to complete all work to overcome personal barriers. A person derives pleasure from achieving goals on their own terms. Another aspect of the card is losing interest in activities after thoroughly exploring the process. There’s also a tendency to develop authoritarianism due to the desire for prolonged success.

Symbolism

Along the path grows dill, symbolizing stress, security, resilience, and willpower. A nearby squirrel embodies concentration, action, and knowledge.

Meaning

Bearing a burden, the need to delegate authority, determination in achieving goals, pressure at work.

Reversed Meaning

Overloaded with responsibilities, disrupted plans, the heavy burden of success.

Keywords

Heavy load, pride from achievements.
