The name of Baraka has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. At times, you are very inspired, desiring to be with people and to entertain others as the "life of the party," while at other times you are aloof and choose to remove yourself entirely from association. You have a philosophical interest in knowing the “why’s” and “wherefore’s” of life, but you tend to drift into daydreams and to find it challenging to concentrate and apply system and order in your activities. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. When life becomes too routine and monotonous, you look for ways to create variety. You dream of romance, but you have experienced heartache because of your idealistic qualities. You are fond of sugars, starches, and sours and, depending on how often you eat these foods, you could be subject to such conditions as eczema or arthritis. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
