Entangled or Empathetic?

From the Alchemical Tarot Renewed, the Lady of Vessels (Page of Cups); from the Oracle of the Radiant Sun, Convention:

          The Lady/Page of Vessels frames her world through her feelings, as seen by the vessel she balances on her head. She is sensitive, intuitive and empathetic, but like trying to walk on water, she almost always gets soaked. Without a way to ground herself, her empathy can easily slide into codependency and her intuition into neurosis. A woman in a meeting I attended a few weeks ago said, "My higher power was whatever the expression was on your face." Her words perfectly express the emotional submersion in which this Page/Lady can find herself if she's not alert. The Convention card represents Venus in Capricorn, a person who often needs a relationship to feel successful and secure. But what happens if that relationship changes, or if that person develops in a different direction from our own? If we base our worth, stability and purpose solely on another, we demand they keep us from drowning. Yet no one should ever feel like they have to be our foot bridge.
