Prophecy - This arrangement cannot hold as it can too easily fall apart.

In the upcoming time, you may experience burnout symptoms because you have been in a situation in which you were trying to please everyone to maintain a delicate peace. You may have been quiet about your own needs to avoid a confrontation, and perhaps you have walked on eggshells for a while now, which is now leaving you drained and vulnerable in the end.

An agreement has either been too difficult or too unfair to be maintained long-term, such as agreeing to unrealistic expectations or an unrealistic workload. And perhaps you have been carrying all the risk or all of the burden in the agreement, with the deal starting out with rather vague promises which then became unrealistic timelines. And there may have been a pressure tactic involved at the time that this deal was initially made.

You are being advised to stop pouring more into this situation, simply because you have invested time, energy, or money into it already - and because you are emotionally invested in it. While you may see it as a loss, you really want to see it as a future gain - and start looking towards the future in other words. As in a way this is already to be considered a failed project. Similarly to spending 3000$ on a new engine when the car is only worth 1000$.

The current arrangement cannot hold. You are relying on a weak foundation that could easily fall apart due to a minor misunderstanding, a change in circumstances, one party changing their mind, or on a verbal handshake. So cut your losses, and accept that this particular deal or approach has run its course. So pull back to protect your core strength, to then try again.   Start focussing your valuable energy and resources towards something that does have a chance to succeed.

Do know that the underlying situation here is not one that is fundementally cursed. It is merely moving through a temporary stormy weather pattern. And thus the entire endeavour is not ruined forever.

   But you might want to re-evaluate your plans, strengthen any weak spots that are present, and understand that your foundation needs work. If you force your will forward now this will likely fail or cause unnecessary pain because the preparation and the alliances aren't strong enough yet..
