拠る implies a foundational or sometimes causal relationship. If X is based on Y, you could also say X is due to Y, or X depends on Y, right? That's why this can also mean to be due to or to depend on.
It's worth noting that this word is usually written in kana.
From now on, everything is going to be based on your yo-yo (よ) skills. You want a raise at work? It's going to depend on your yo-yo performance. Your partner left you? Has to be due to your yo-yoing failures. Better get used to this new yo-yo meritocracy we're living in!
