Key Phrase

We can all learn important things from one another.

General Meaning

"Most people think the secret to writing a novel is creativity, but I would beg to differ. Most people are creative, yet not everyone can write a novel. So what’s the secret, then? Why, it’s discipline," the king muses. "Though if you have a different perspective, you’re more than welcome to defend it." While this card can represent an adult, it will more likely represent someone of any age who’s secure in their knowledge & expertise. They definitely give all-knowing professor vibes, but when it comes down to it, they’re actually extremely open-minded & willing to listen to others. However, if you notice something in opposition, just be ready for a friendly debate!

Reversed Meaning

This card can represent a powerful person who refuses to consider viewpoints other than their own or admit when they might have their facts wrong. If this sounds like you, then remember the value in listening more than you speak.
