MARKETPLACE

Keywords: Community Pulse, Gossip Cycle, Energy Exchange, Addictive Attention, Social Transparency. Figures gather in joy and hunger alike, trading stories, selfies, opinions, and outrage. 

Marketplace is like Social Media. People gather to talk and gossip. Cheap behavior rises like cheap broccoli in a wooden box on a stand, in which we bury our fellowmen and give them good riddance! Since we do not meet the people physically but online, we blacken them with our dark breaths, using the keyboard as a weapon. I call this: the One Night Stand. Afterwards no care.  When behind a PC we have this stand in that lashes out because of anger of not being seen or seen in the wrong way by others. So we repeat this through the grapevine, now connecting with the marketplace stand, that 'sells' the sour grapes. But you know how hard it is to get stuff removed from the internet right?

Upright: The Marketplace  is where human energy meets visibility. It can be a beautiful space of exchange, laughter, connection, ideas—a field of mirrors where the self is reflected and refracted. Drawn upright, it invites healthy connection and awareness of where your voice joins the greater hum. Are you sharing truth or just echo?

Reversed: Reversed, this card points to overexposure, burnout, or entanglement in the gossip web. You may be absorbing projections, scrolling for meaning, or leaking energy trying to belong in public view. There could be toxicity in your social circle—or within your own inner commentary. This is a call to step out of the square, to find silence, and remember the self outside the algorithms of approval. This card urges discernment—What are you trading? What are you taking home that isn't yours?
