There is listening and then there is really listening. The listener asks - are you hearing others or just waiting for your turn to speak? Are you truly present, or filtering everything through your own inner narrative and the noise in your head? This card is about holding space for others. It is about listening with your heart and not just your ears. This card can reflect a need to tune in more deeply. It may appear when you are missing or ignoring red flags, or bypassing others voices under the louder noise of your inner narrative.

Reversed

The listener suggests you may be operating from some distorted perceptions. You may be consumed by inner chatter, assumptions, anxieties or past wounds that are making it difficult to connect authentically. It can also show up when you are being manipulated by smooth talkers, charmers or your own need for validation. Be mindful of what you want to hear vs. what is actually being said.

Stillness is not a weakness. Listening is revolutionary. When you are able to quit the noise inside your truth will find its way in.
