They are keen on letting their creative juices flow and let the little elves in their head take the wheel sometimes.

You might hear them using words like- vibes, aura, and karma. They are inclined towards always doing the right thing.

3. Moderate lifestyle

They are very sensitive to their environment and therefore are adamant on making sure they feel at home. You might find their home aesthetic to be quite austere and earthy. The choice of decor is a careful balance of hues found in nature and utility. It's common to spot crafts like Ikat, Kalamkari, Ajrakh, Applique Patchwork and traditional mandalas in their living spaces.

4. Close to nature

They keep finding excuses to stay close to nature, be it spending time in the wild or substituting natural products for chemical based. They are known to have house plants and their way of life is close to our ancestors.

5. Creative career path

They are not settlers but nomads to the last cell of their body. You will see them easily uprooting their lives and moving to unfamiliar lands in a jiffy. They might have stable jobs but would still take frequent trips, solo if they don't find any travel buddy. Their Instagram is always flooded with wandering across tows and cities, meeting regional people and kids, savoring some street food in the hills to name a few, spending an evening by the beach or just with a cup of coffee in a book store or cafe.  

7. Distinct style
