Line 13.5 “The Saviour”

The fifth line of the Gate of the Listener has a knack for finding a role for everyone. Having listened to people, it sees what each is capable of and can bring them together for a common goal, so others often expect solutions from it that will help everyone.

People project onto this person the image of someone who knows how to set things right. Their experience of listening gives them a broad picture: they remember others' stories and understand people's strengths. At its best this is charisma that inspires and overcomes obstacles for the common good. In a more everyday form it is an organiser's talent for assigning responsibilities clearly and holding a structure. Both are valuable.

A charismatic gift for finding a place for everyone and overcoming any obstacle for people's sake. They see the potential in others and help it unfold.

The able administrator: the same gift narrowed to practical role assignment. That isn't bad in itself, but the risk is reducing people to mere functions.
