⭐ Characteristics
You are a natural listener and learner. Knowledge comes to you through hearing — lectures, conversations, music, and the subtle sounds of the universe. You preserve and transmit knowledge with remarkable fidelity. Your organizational ability is strong (Capricorn), and you use it to structure and share what you learn. Network-building and connecting people through shared knowledge is your gift. Gossiping, manipulative listening, and information hoarding are your shadows.
