You always say you could have done great things in your past life. It's time to find out the truth.

Who Were You In A Past Life?

You’re a true leader and love to be in charge — and back in the day, that’s exactly how it was. You ruled over your subjects with kindness and grace, using your powers for good. At the same time, you knew how to lay down the law when needed. And you still do.

Medieval King/Queen

Ah, what a grandiose life you once had. You spent your days basking in the warm Italian sun, deftly painting frescoes and molding lovely sculptures, and then your nights conversing with the likes of Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Or maybe you \*were\* one of them. Amazing.

Renaissance Artist

You have a certain way with words, so of course it makes sense that you spent your past life writing epics alongside good pals like Shakespeare. You have a true appreciation for the beauty in the world and wrote your way into the hearts of many. Once upon a time, you were a fantastic writer, and you still have those talents to this day.

A Poet

Oh, no big deal, you just helped define literally every intellectual pursuit that has occurred in history since you last lived. Whatever, it’s just, like, you hung out with Plato and stuff. But it’s really not a big deal or anything. OH WAIT JUST KIDDING IT’S AMAZING YOU ARE SO SMART.

Ancient Greek Philosopher

You’re a natural leader and always strive to understand the complex issues facing society today. So, obviously it makes sense that you were once a grand leader of peoples, democratically elected by your admirers. You led your country with incredible strength, for which we thank you.

A Politician

Relax. Be calm. Seek peace. Those are the main tenets of your life, and you adhered to them strongly in the past. People sought you out from near and far to give them guidance, and you always brought inner clarity to everyone who saw you. Now take a deep breath and say, “Aaaahhh.” After all you’ve done, you deserve it.

Spiritual Leader

Ah, oui, life in the French aristocracy was for you. You partied with Marie Antoinette, roamed the streets of Paris in search of culture, and enjoyed a life of splendor. Now doesn’t that sound nice?

French Aristocrat

You enjoy the simple life and certainly don’t mind working with your hands. That’s why, naturally, you were a prosperous farmer in your former life. You lived in harmony with nature, something you still enjoy to this day. Although life could be tough on the farm, you have the willpower and strength of character to always persevere.

A Farmer

You have a flair for the dramatic, and the stage is where you truly belong. Well, actually, the stage is where you lived for many years during your past life. You regaled audiences with the finest dramas of the day, always filling the (amphi)theater. You’ve got a magnetic charisma about you, and it suits you quite well.

An Actor

None of that electronic stuff that you find in so much of today’s music — you were a musician in the classical sense, your instrument practically its own appendage on your body. Audiences throughout the world knew of your great talent and came from far and wide to hear the beauty you could create with a simple instrument. Mozart basically begged for you to play his pieces. That’s how good you were.

A Musician

A constant tinkerer, you love to poke, prod, and think creatively about new ways to improve everyone’s lives. Thomas Edison was inspired by \*you\* when he was working on his new lightbulb. Basically, you forever changed the way humans interact with their surroundings. BIG DEAL.

An Inventor

Marco Polo isn’t just a fun game to play in the pool for you — it’s a reminder of the exotic life you once lived as a famed world explorer. You have a taste for adventure that is insatiable and have a constant thirst for the new and unknown. Back in the day, you lived life with flair, navigating uncharted seas and lands. What a journey you’ve been on!
