MillyX, here is a Two Paths reading for you:The top left card represents the first possible outcome. The Hermit, when reversed: Detachment based on fear, irresponsibility or naiveté. Self-imposed isolation from friends and loved ones. Listening to the wrong advice or ignoring good counsel. Concealment, disguise, and unreasoned caution.
So this is if you were to live on your own...you'd feel cut off from your mom
The top right card represents the second possible outcome. Two of Wands (Dominion), when reversed: The erosion of power and influence. Failing to articulate goals or establish a vision for the future. Being caught off guard, due to an inability to come to grips with the impact of past decisions. Obstinate and irresponsible leadership. Loss of interest, clarity, or faith in a venture.
This is if you choose to live with your mom and aunt the way things are now...not so great either.
The middle left card represents the force drawing you towards the first possible outcome. Four of Pentacles (Power): Cleaving to earthly power in the desperate fear that it will be lost. Making yourself an obstacle to progress due to lack of originality and a desperate fear of change. Believing that security and identity are based primarily on the possession of material things. Coveting things and people. Living in a cloud of suspicion and prejudice.
So you'd leave to regain the power you feel like you're losing by staying home
The middle right card represents the force drawing you towards the second possible outcome. Nine of Swords (Cruelty), when reversed: Mental anguish or ill health endured and overcome. Refusal to be dragged down by the dishonor of others. Attempting to avert a shameful or regrettable act. Faithfulness, patience and unselfishness. May indicate the narrow avoidance of a death or other catastrophic loss.
If you are able to work on your patience and tolerance, and reverse your negative feelings towards your aunt, you can avert a blow-up and things could get better
The bottom card represents the critical factor that decides what will come to pass. Eight of Wands (Swiftness): A sudden release of raw power, cutting through confusion and indecision, and setting things in motion. Rapid progress towards a desired goal, brought about by immediate and decisive action. Boldness and daring in love, business, travel, or spiritual growth.
Hmm, perhaps by releasing the negativity inside you by figuring out where it is coming from, you will be able to make the best decision for you.
Surely people with different values and lifestyles can cohabitate, as long as they are respectful of one another. What you need to do is ask yourself if you are being unfairly judgmental, or if your aunt is acting in a way that really does make you feel belittled or imposed upon (it could be a combination of both). Try to be as rational and concrete as possible. Keep a journal of her actions and your reactions so you can analyze later when you are more removed from the situation. A discussion about boundaries and expectations with your mom or even (eventually) your mom and aunt together can help diffuse your frustrations and set everything towards a better course, just be sure not to let your feelings get out of hand.
