gee- had a little time and did a three card about your question-10 of Wands in the Past: too many irons in the fire and ouch! got burned! Need to reduce stress and enjoy freedom.
The Devil in the Present: Take a look at your darker self and if you see something you don't like break the chain and set it free before it festers hidden away.
The Emperor in the Future: Rely on your reason and logic. Exhibit responsibility, maturity and leadership skills. Make sure your personal ethics are being met.
Hope that helps-relax, don't go against your true moral and ethical code and if you find yourself doing so, break that chain..
Not sure how that fits your question about this person but seems maybe too much stress and focus and maybe even a bit of manipulating? the advice seems to be to cut any chains that are maybe over emphasizing certain aspects of the situation.
