Being falsely accused of touching coworkers before promotion, will this blow over?

I'm getting promoted at work now two guys said I touched them when I did not. One is a minor told one of the managers that I touched him and then I went and talked to him on camera. My hands were on my purse book bag and I asked him, I was like, did I bump into you or anything? I said, this is a workplace that there's no personal space. I said, but I do try to put my hand out too. That way I don't touch anybody inappropriate, and he's like, no, you grab my vest on my shoulder. And I'm like, yeah, no. And then he was like, you can ask carmen, and I told him, I was like, I don't believe what carmen says, I was like, I don't deal with the drama and then he's like, yeah, she is drama and I was like, you can walk away from it.Anytime without getting in trouble. Then, carmen told me yesterday I know we bump heads but I appreciate everything you do. So my g m pulls me out today.Before my shift ends and says, another person said, I poked them and I would remember if I poked anybody. The good thing ISIS my G. M doesn't believe it, which honestly to God. I did not do it either one. My g m thinks it's just carmen, getting them to say stuff because we are up for the same opening position. Cause the 1RJ. We were talking today and he said that Carmen makes his life a living hell when I'm not there. Because r j listens to me. I was trying to train RJ before my promotion. I was a crew trainer at first, and she literally told him not to listen to me to stay in his own position. Just wondering, is this gonna blow over or is this going to be something that I have to keep my hands in my pockets at all times because I've been told Carmen is afraid I'm gonna take her job. And I told them, I can't take her job. She's the only one that can take her job.

What I’m picking up around this is very Mars-in-the-workplace energy — competitive, territorial, sharp. Promotions tend to activate people’s insecurities, and this has that feeling of someone thinking, “If she rises, where does that leave me?” The sense I’m getting is that this isn’t really about physical contact at all. It feels more like power shifting. There’s this anxious, defensive current around the other side — almost a scrambling energy. When someone feels threatened, sometimes they grasp for control in indirect ways. Your GM not buying into it matters. That’s a stabilizing Saturn presence — authority seeing through noise. That helps anchor the situation. What the stars suggest is that this likely settles once the position is finalized and the “competition” tension dissolves. Right now it’s heightened because the outcome isn’t sealed yet. After that, the emotional charge may lose fuel. What feels important for you is composure. Calm, consistent behavior. Not defensive — just steady. That kind of grounded energy tends to expose instability around it without you having to do much at all. You’re right about one thing, by the way — no one can “take” her job but her. That mindset? That’s strength.

Honey, I pulled some cards on this, and let me tell you what I see. **Seven of Cups reversed** — right smack in the present position. This is the "smoke and mirrors" card. You are being fed illusions. Someone is spinning a false narrative, and the reversed energy here says *you already see through it*. You know exactly whose hand is pulling the strings, and that clarity is your power. **The Emperor** in your past says your GM has authority on his side, and he's backing you. That's not nothing. An authority figure who doesn't buy the drama? That's a solid foundation. But here's the real tea — **The Lovers reversed** at the root. This isn't about touching or poking. This is about a *corrupted relationship dynamic*. Carmen chose sabotage over healthy competition. And **Seven of Coins reversed** in the future? Things won't play out the way she expects. The harvest she's planting? Not gonna be what she reaps. The **Two of Wands** as your best outcome says *you've got a choice*. Keep your hands visible, sure — but more importantly, don't let her make you small. You didn't do a thing wrong. You stand your ground, you document everything, and you walk into that promotion knowing the truth. Carmen's treating you like a commercial break, honey. You're the main feature. Don't let her steal your airtime.

I've seen workplace politics like this before, and here's the honest truth: even though your GM doesn't believe the accusations right now, those allegations are now on record. That changes things. You need to protect yourself, not just hope it blows over. Keep your hands visible and to yourself at all times. Avoid being alone with the accusers. Document everything—dates, times, who said what. If your workplace has HR, get ahead of this and voluntarily share your side while it's fresh. Carmen is absolutely playing a game, and the minor being involved makes this more serious than typical drama. The good news? Your GM sees through it and RJ confirmed the pattern. That's your anchor. But these accusations don't just disappear because they're false—they linger. So yes, keep your hands in your pockets if that's what it takes. Don't give them any opening. Focus on your promotion, stay professional, and let your work speak. If Carmen is afraid of losing her job, that's her problem to manage—not yours to tiptoe around.

Job or business better for me and chances of getting second partner?

Looking at the cards drawn for your path, a structured job environment provides a far more stable foundation for you right now than building an independent business, particularly because the Ace of Swords reversed in your background points to scattered mental energy when trying to launch something entirely on your own. A steady job with clear boundaries allows your focus to sharpen. As for location, stability and foreign environments that offer established institutional support tend to serve you better than erratic relocation; look toward places where your daily routine can remain grounded rather than chasing a distant ideal. Regarding a second partnership, the appearance of the Hermit in the future position suggests a necessary inner season first. Before a new, lasting partnership enters, you are moving through a period where emotional clarity and self-reliance take precedence. The energy points toward building your professional ground solidly in a stable workplace before trying to force a new relationship or business venture into motion.

Does he love someone else and regret our marriage?
Vera

When a distance grows inside a marriage like this, it can feel as though every silence is carrying a heavy meaning, but what comes through when looking closely at his energy is not hatred. There is a profound exhaustion in him rather than affection for someone else, an inward turning where he seems entirely overwhelmed by his own failures and cannot find the words to bridge the gap between you. The feeling that he regrets things often stems from how heavily he carries himself around the house, but that weight is directed mostly at his own inability to connect, not at your presence in his life. It may take time, but that wall he has built is made of self-protection and quiet frustration, not malice.

Will I succeed in my online Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and should I change jobs?

Stepping away from physical truck driving toward administration through the WHS course is an entirely achievable goal, but the cards suggest you will need to manage your energy carefully while balancing full-time work and online study. The Fool in your past shows a willingness to take a bold leap into something fresh. However, with the reversed Hermit in your present position, studying in isolation while holding down demanding onsite hours risks burning you out before you finish. The reversed Magician in the future position points to a common trap: feeling capable of making the transition, but taking shortcuts or struggling to apply your new skills effectively within your current workplace. Staying with your current employer for the administrative shift is unlikely to materialize smoothly. Companies rarely pivot a truck driver into an internal safety or admin role without external pressure or proof, and your current environment tends to keep you locked into physical duties. Rather than waiting to see if they will promote you once the certificate is done, the practical path is to finish your coursework and look outward. Begin looking for entry-level safety or admin roles elsewhere while you are in the final stages of your studies, using the qualification as your leverage to step into a completely new professional door.
