Excellent for those who have “lost touch” with something.

strong, intellectual with a sense of reality and awareness.

a connection with the earth. Nothing delicate or ethereal here. Interested in
Green issues and the esoteric side of life, particularly voyages to uncover the
earth mysteries, journeys of Shamans. Raw elements of earth and nature.
+Ready
to laugh out loud, not easily embarrassed.
+Likely
to experiment. Sensual with possibly a
deep, mysterious side.
+Often
gentle, wise in spirit. Friends turn to
them for advice, which is blunt and straight.

the Quest for idealism. May travel with
groups, but as they get older, will search for their roots.

could settle anywhere if they ignored the call of the wild. Remote villages hold an attraction for them.

be academic and philosophical, sometimes teachers.

become overly concerned about such things as pollution or rain forest
destruction and become disillusioned with the world.
