How to Break a Tyrant’s Hold

Today’s Card:

• The Emperor (IV) RX

The Message

Never back down to a tyrant (Emperor RX).  No matter how big they think they are, you’re bigger.  They may sway the opinions of others, and they may discredit you in the shadows.  But, remember this — truth prevails when you least expect it.  That which does not kill you makes you stronger. 

So, then, while they throw their tantrums, don’t engage.  When they speak, don’t answer.  Keep eye contact and show no emotion. You’re in command.  Not them.  Keep your composure at all costs.  Then once their guard’s down — strike. Not with force, but with precision.  

You hit them where it hurts, their ego.  They need a reaction, but you don’t budge. This creates confusion and drives the narcissist insane.  Why? Because they thrive on the heartache they inflict as they relish in the control they have over others.  But when you flip the script, they’re blindsided. Your inaction is your weapon. They become anxious. Nervous. Perplexed because they can’t comprehend someone didn’t fall to their whims. Their façade dissolves in the mire as their narrative crumbles. You sit back as the truth begins to shine. 

All the lies they spoke are now seen for what they were.  A bully unrestrained — fear tactics used to gain power.  But when you stood in silence, you broke their pattern. You exposed them for who they are. An oppressor without talent.  A fool without clarity.  A leader without integrity.

The role they played is over. Shattered glass falls to their feet. The mirror reflects their true nature.  A monster for all to see.

What Does This Mean

In life,  wisdom must be had for growth to occur.  And sometimes the lessons go scorched earth. Because strength comes from adversity. And from challenges arises success. So while the inferno rages, don’t add fuel.  Let the bullies incinerate. Then, when they least expect it, strike with full force. Rise from beneath the rubble and become the leader others adore. But remember, victory is not about humiliation; it’s reclaiming borders and boundaries. If you feel blood lust rising, step back. Power asserted for power’s sake becomes another tyrant at play. Never be a tyrant.  People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
