Existential thinkers:
Like to spend time thinking about philosophical issues such as "What is the meaning of life?"
Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings
consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions

I feel like I'm changing though. Do you ever look at your answers and think "Am I just repeating myself, or is this me?" But then, asking this question makes me even more an existential thinker, so I give up! I am what I am.

(very fitting for a Saggie rising, with Jupiter in the 9th house, actually a loaded 9th house)

You are an Existential Thinker

Existential thinkers:
Like to spend time thinking about philosophical issues such as "What is the meaning of life?"

Try to see beyond the 'here and now', and understand deeper meanings

Consider moral and ethical implications of problems as well as practical solutions
