I would say more conservative signs like Virgo and Capricorn can be good listeners because they sit back and think a lot. I also will say Aquarius can be a good listener due to the influence of Saturn. Not good listeners could be signs like Gemini and Sagittarius who endlessly go on and on, never giving you a chance to speak lol. That's my take on it at least ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj.

I have a friend with an earth stellium and she is not a great listener. She talks on and on about school, work and everything that goes on in her life, but she is after all a leo sun though, lol. IMO i find water influenced folks to be the best listeners. IP: Logged |

Ah, so that explains why my dad will never SHUT UP about how much he hates his job and the people there and all lol. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING If only he was a Virgo Sun, it would work better with his Virgo Merc and Venus imo. The point about water is good too. I think both Earth and Water can be good listeners, while Fire and Air are not lol. They are usually spending the time talking. ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj.

Haha yeah we air heads are a mouthful to deal with, haha. I got both strong air and water influence and that`s why i think i can come off a little confusing to folks sometimes bc i can go from being very talkactive to suddenly being very quiet and be the listener instead. Its a constant switch. I esp like to hear about feelings and love when people talk about how they feel. IP: Logged |

If you can hold a scorpio's interest, they can be quite good listeners. They can be prone to not caring though, esp if they think you're full of crap.IP: Logged |

Capricorn Rising/Gemini Sun. A lot of my coworkers tell me there problems and all sorts of things and I listen. But, to be an exceptional listener it depends on my mood and what I filter. When I'm in a good mood I'm a great listener. ==================================== Gemini Sun, Capricorn Rising Aries Moon Gemini Mercury Venus Taurus Mars Cancer IP: Logged |

Strange since that's how I am. Must be a result of having all this air in water houses. I am a strange combination (or should I say, "we" are strange combinations lol). ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj.

In my social circle, for me, it's Libras. They're so compassionate and sweet. But they can be tough, and use that cardinal mode to kick butt, if need be!IP: Logged |

From my experience, this is accurate when you have an argument mostly. Because they know how to listen, but they are stubborn.IP: Logged |

In my life, Capricorns are some of the best listeners, because they anticipate what I'm feeling and why, and we have similar boundaries, and we just get each other. Ditto for the other earth signs, though not as comfortable to me as Capricorn. Of the three I think Virgo is the one to be most careful with, as they are easily overburdened...my Virgo stellium husband thinks everything is a covert request for help, even when it's not, so he gets exhausted listening to people. To him it sounds like, "Fix this for me, fix that for me, do this, do that" even if that is not implied or desired at all. He just looks at life like a massive pile of problems that he has to single-handedly solve. (Virgo Mercury square Saturn.)My Pisces best friend does most of the talking, not because she is hogging the conversation, but because she knows I prefer it that way, and she's just nice. She's listening to my need to be quiet, so it's like an oasis or lullabye to me, listening to her go on and on. She's super interesting and can make the most mundane story hilarious and fascinating. I love talking to the fire and air signs, sometimes you can take the conversation much farther with them because you aren't getting bogged down in emotions and accumulating intuitive impressions. I have Aquarius Mercury and so does my brother. We absolutely fly in conversation, and even though it's all mental, it gives a nice sense of catharsis and forward momentum. My moon seems to draw out all kinds of things from people. I mean everything: random technical work details, biases, tragedies, ambitions, long-buried memories, their surgeries and pets' surgeries, etc. I don't know if that makes me a good listener or a bad one, because so often people venture out from their usual conversation habits, and then apologize for what they just said. It's gotten to the point where I can tell someone is suffering in silence, but I won't offer my shoulder to cry on as I used to, because I think they'll regret it later. That's hard for me to do, a tough choice, but it protects me from feeling like a nosey jerk later, and I just cannot stand feeling that way. Scorpio is a good listener and draws me out of myself. The nice thing about Scorpio is, they know how to stick with you after you say something revealing or controversial, guiding you gently back to normal, like landing a plane and smiling as you disembark. They also know to give you time and space. Their whole tempo is soothing and graceful to me. Please don't quote IP: Logged |

Pisces can be very reflective and thus adjust themselves according to the other party, just like it was written above. No quoting here! I agree, Capricorns tend to be really good listeners. They don't get too involved (like idk a Cancer dominant could), they observe, rather, and they are always attentive! Sometimes if a Pisces, for instance, is listening, they can be really tuned in for some time, but after a while their attention goes somewhere else (sometimes even inwards to themselves). Sometimes Capricorns do have a tendency to start solving problems, even if the talker hasn't intended that = and this equals not that good listening actually! This is common to all Earth signs more or less, I feel. A good friend of mine is a Virgo, and I feel very comfortable expressing myself to her. She's very solid. Very solid and also attentive.

Yes ~ I didn't mean to downplay Virgo, they can be some of the best listeners around, very intuitive and able to somehow bring things to the surface. I think I just feel protective of them...in particular, my Pisces moon feels the need to be less amorphous and more reined in, for their sake. A synastry matter...a tricky balance sometimes.

Hon Solo haha i totally agree with you on the pisces part. I find them to be the least good listeners out of the water signs bc their listening isn`t always "on" even if it seems like they are listening, they can easily fade into their heads, lol, don`t be fooled. I know since i am a neptunian myself and i have slipped in and out of convos/listening plenty of times. Sometimes i like when a person talks non stop so i can daydream a little. Haha I am also a cancer dominant and yes its so true we can be too involved sometimes IP: Logged |

Aquarius...tooting my own horn here but I'm really good at listening, all of my friends and family tend to come to me to vent out their problems and frustrations because I listen and don't judge and only offer advice if wanted. I've been told several times that I should have been a therapist haha------------------ Aquarius Sun ♒☀ Pisces Moon ♓🌙 Libra Rising ♎ 💫 IP: Logged |

If they've already assumed or convinced themselves they know what your going to say next... then the answer is yessss.... Gemini has a way of testing or already knowing your reaction based on observation, so they can be that way if there confident they know what your going to say next. ==================================== Gemini Sun, Capricorn Rising Aries Moon Gemini Mercury Venus Taurus Mars Cancer
