Your first name of Aphrikah has given you a friendly, likeable nature, and you could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression. Yours is a quick mind and you can usually think of something to say when there is a need to offset or deflect an unpleasant situation, sometimes finding it necessary to stretch the truth a little in the process. You have many disappointments because of extending a helping hand to others in need, and then not receiving any acknowledgement or reciprocation for your generosity. Under stressful and intense situations, it is a challenge to you to maintain an even temperament as you are extreme in your feelings, optimistic and happy one moment, despondent and self-pitying the next. You require plenty of rest and relaxation in order to handle responsibilities. Unfortunately, these are times in your life when others are apt to take advantage of you because you find it difficult to say “no” especially if people have appealed to your sympathies. If those around you are quarrelling, you would want to try to be the mediator to create understanding between them. As you often experience difficulty making decisions, you appreciate the encouragement of others to give you the support and confidence necessary to follow through on your decisions. After each experience, you have to guard against feelings of despondency and self-pity. You have high goals and ideals, but must incorporate more practicality, system, and concentration in order to materialize them.
