A Morning of Panic:

Facing the Dreaded Meeting with a Manager

  • Overwhelmed by Fear of Termination

    One morning, a client reached out in a state of intense panic. He was completely consumed by anxiety over an upcoming meeting with his manager, fearing the worst—that he was about to be fired. The dread was so overwhelming that he seriously considered calling in sick just to avoid walking into the office.

  • Guidance from the Oracle

    Seeking clarity, a Time-based Divination chart was cast to look into the situation. The oracle revealed a reassuring truth: the client was severely overthinking. The reading indicated no sign of termination; instead, it advised him to calm his mind, head into work, and simply listen to what his manager had to say.

    Encouraged by this guidance, he decided against taking sick leave, returned to the office, and calmly attended the meeting.

  • The Real Outcome: Feedback, Not Termination

    As the oracle predicted, the fears of being fired proved entirely unfounded. Rather than handing down a dismissal, the manager simply wanted to have a constructive conversation to encourage him to pay closer attention to his work. By stepping past his initial panic and listening objectively, the client turned what felt like a career crisis into a simple, manageable feedback session.
