The name of Maanam 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 seldom express your deeper thoughts for fear of being ridiculed or your meaning misconstrued. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. If given the training, you could excel in music, art, or drama as you are refined and sensitive, emotional and temperamental, and can be easily and deeply moved by music, drama, and affection. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. You have many wonderful ideas and plans but fail to initiate action because of lack of confidence. You wonder about their origin. There are times when you are outgoing and cosmopolitan, and other times when you become reflective and aloof, drawing away from association with others. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
