You are a special kind of vagabond, one who spreads wisdom and foreknowledge to those who seek comfort in this world. You can quickly read people and know their deepest desires and fears. Bearing omens and advice, you are born for the open road, constantly in danger of angering those to whom you’ve dispensed truth. You must always look for new horizons, bringing a little insight into the workings of the cosmos wherever you wander.

Suggested Characteristics
Fortune Tellers live lives that are intertwined with fate. You are the communicator and the bridge between humanity and the infinite. You understand that everyone has a role to play in the future, and usually come to accept you own. This acceptance leads you to a kind of serenity in the face of danger, with the ability to act quickly when your supposed destiny presents itself.
