Your first name of Istiqomah has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. When you are with acquaintances and strangers, you tend to be reserved and reticent, shy and secretive but, on the other hand, with close friends you can sometimes be the life of the party, expressive, humorous, dramatic, and fun-loving. You appreciate music, art, and drama and if given training, could excel in those fields. You long for love and affection and for your sensitive feelings to be understood. A very individual, independent person, you live within your own thoughts. The mysteries of life, the phenomena of nature, and religious and occult concepts appeal to your desire to understand the deeper aspects of life. Others impose upon your generosity at times, and you do not always reap the rewards for all that you do. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
