Your search for meaning tends to be felt more than argued. A landscape, a book or a conversation with someone from another culture can move you more than any thesis. You approach what you believe through experience and inspiration, and you may pass through several philosophies before finding your own way of understanding the world, including that of following none. In practice, it appears in the trip that changed how you see life, or in a course begun out of curiosity that became a passion.

The light of this placement

You inspire others with a broad, compassionate view of the world, open to mystery.
