I am having a problem at work with a fellow co-worker.
Ive worked here less than 6 months and we were pretty chummy up until a few days ago when they went on a power trip. They used a frequent customer (who had no idea) as a part of a ploy to "put me in my place" and embarrass me (almost to the point of tears) in front of coworkers and a room full of customers. It got so bad people grew uncomfortable and left the room.
After the day was over I got in my car and balled for over 10 minutes of my drive home (I dont know why I got so emotional other than the fact I was extremely exhausted)
I do not disrespect this person in any way. The only thing that comes to mind on why they would treat me like this is because I will not have any dealings with them when it comes to my personal financial standings (ie. when it comes to the wheeling and dealing part of business; I go straight to my boss instead).

Ive noticed other sly tactics they have tried to implement in the past few weeks that have failed miserably for them, but its thrown my radar up on this individual.

They are not very good in the actual industry (meaning they lack the natural knack you need to make your big money) but they do serve as an extra helping hand to the company.

Id like to know this persons end game with me (wolf in sheep's clothing or just genuinely naive), if they are going to be there much longer, what kind of path I need to take with this individual; like, do I need to go to the boss or keep my mouth shut? They seem pretty good friends but my boss has made several off comments to me about the individual...

What ever comes through to you, I just need advice on this individual/situation. I dont know my standings with company and cant get a clear reading because Im so sick over this whole thing.

Who the bully really is:
7 of Swords/Queen of Swords Rx: If you know the tarot, you know this is the literal combination of a pure and true back stabber. I assume your coworker is female or has strong feminine energy turned sour, like someone charming to your face but caddy behind your back. I got that energy right away. She's entirely aware of what she's doing is wrong, but doesn't care. She's very intelligent and yes, I got the sense that she's sly. So don't trust this person. They can use their intelligence as a weapon against you - and they're secretly cowardly and jealous, so they have to be cunning and slick (7 of Swords) to get what they want. They're underhanded.

You at this present moment:
Queen of Cups Rx/8 of Swords: I get the sense here that your emotions about this may be obscuring your perception of the situation and you feel needlessly trapped with your confidence thrown for a loop [8 of Swords]. You may be unsure of what to do. But you're not trusting in yourself enough. Give yourself some time to cool down. Meditate on everything and clear your mind. Trust your own instincts about this one. And even though it seems like a terrible situation, don't be frantic or overly emotional about it - that's what this bully wants from you. They want you to be confused and scared, it gives them the upper hand.

The energy of the situation/the truth of what's happening:
The Tower/10 of Swords Rx/5 of Wands/Ace of Wands Rx: You're doing a great job at work, but the Tower and 10 of Swords Rx shows someone became jealous and competitive and tried to sabotage that. The 5 of Wands is always a sign of competition. With the Ace of Wands Rx, someone is trying to throw you off your A-game. They're noticing how you're being noticed for standing out among all the others, and it's making them angry. Obviously, this is your bully. And believe me, your superiors and other people among the office won't forget about what this person did. They may have seemed cunning or sly, but I have the feeling that it will come out that they did what they did. The Tower in this case reminds me of someone trying to push someone off a building, with them ending up falling alongside their victim. It really hurt and you felt betrayed, according to the 10 of Swords Rx. But the worst is over, and this kind of stunt is going to be hard, if near impossible for them to pull off twice without being really noticed next time. So don't fear this person, you have no reason to. They created this plan to make you have a submissive mind set toward them, but don't play into it.

Some possible solutions:
Strength/The Moon: An interesting combo that immediately made me think of emotional resilience, bouncing back on your feet, strengthening your emotional armor, even using crystals or some other psychic method to block this person out of your energetic field - keep them from getting under your skin. This person bullying you does sound vicious, and like you could benefit from carrying a protective crystal to repel their negativity, like black obsidian. I would also envision a white light around you like a shield so their energy can't intermingle with yours and make you upset or insecure. The cards are telling you to trust yourself and throw this person for a loop with some outrageous displays of confidence. And don't, by any means, try to get back at them. It will give you bad energy, and they'll find a way to frame you as the bully.

Don't go to ur boss about...He already knows about the conflict and the style of the person on question...and he isn't bothered by it. He won't interject. So really it'll be useless if u went tohim (boss)

Sitting quietly won't save u either. You'll continue to be a target. I see it's ur way in which u do things that isn't liked. It not liked, but obviously u have to know that already, or else u wouldn't of had that done to u.

I don't think she was a sheep in sheeepered clothing....there seems to be clear info that as a person, she wasn't fond of u. But perhapsprofessionally, she acted her part....she saw something u DoD that she didn't like, and she made u aware of it....but made u see who has clout, and did it front of others.

....why was she allowed to do that??? Reevaluate how ur seen by others because I don't see any follow out for her. She's not losing friends or colleagues over this.

I can jive with both but sweet scorpions rang the bells most for me.

This person advocated for me getting this job and had been very friendly with me till they realized I could start doing the job with out their help and would be curing back their hours (i did not ask for this). Ever since that moment it was suggested they threw me under the bus stating how i could not do the job alone and criticized my performance (which, in their words had been fantastic, up until that point)
Ever since then it's been the sly under cutting.

At the end of the day this person has taught me a valuable thing about the business and i guess continuing working with them will teach me how to navigate through choppy waters.

I'm glad my words rang true for you. It was good to practice with the cards, even better to know it helped you out. You're welcome.

Keep up that confidence.... Strength appearing in a spread also reminds us to hold our tongue, be diplomatic and take the high road. It's also a signifier of Karma. She will get what's coming to her energetically. Mercury is turning Retrograde in Libra in 2 days. See what happens in that time frame through October 9. I'd bet anything some of her devious or negative behaviors are going to come back to bite her, whether it's someone overhearing her gossiping or whatever.

Jealousy should only be taken as flattery. I'm flattered if someone is jealous of me - that means that they see me as their ultimate goal, although unfortunately feel they're not good enough to achieve it. So, if they act in their insecurities, they're trying to knock me down to their level. While this revenge is super immature, you should be even more confident and realize, that you're a shining star and don't have to play into all this. I would actually advise against calling her out, since she's going to probably take any chance she can get to make you look bad or twist your words in some way...

Of course I will smile and play nice because that is what is expected of me at work, but Ive learned my lesson and will have my guard up 100% of the time with the individual.
