それに意味を持たせるかはアナタ次第ということです
I can understand "アナタ次第ということです" as "is up to you."
I'm not sure what the first half means.
nihongomaster.com/dictionary/entry/63184/motaseru
so "to hold meaning"? Is it "Whatever meaning you find"?

This is a rather simple causative form followed by か meaning "whether". (In case you need, you can check the rules of causative forms here.)
- それに意味を持たせる: "to make it have/hold a meaning"
- それに意味を持たせるか: "whether you make it have a meaning"
- それに意味を持たせるかはアナタ次第ということです: "(It is that) Whether or not you make it have a meaning is up to you."
That is, the speaker is saying "it" may or may not be a meaningful sign/message/etc.
