Your name of Rikard gives you a strong urge for independence. As a result, others withdraw from you as they find you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. Once you get an idea, you forge ahead, despite obstacles, until you reach the end of your project. You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. You stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise. Under circumstances when others are expressive, you feel inferior because of your inability to communicate your deeper thoughts and feelings. The health weaknesses due to the influence of this name could cause you to suffer either with headaches, weak eyes, sinus problems, lung and bronchial disorders such as asthma or emphysema, or a heart condition. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors.
