Your first name of Aleka has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. In a large group of comparative strangers, you are quiet and rather shy, unable to express yourself, not really wanting to become involved in conversation. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. Your friends seldom know what to expect from you because of this dual character—friendly and charming one moment or lost in introspection the next. You find it difficult to say “no” and mean it. 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 seldom like your time to be organized rigidly by others, but like to do things in your own way, at your own time. Your close friends are few. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
