Your name of Mariss gives you independence and determination. 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 are not sentimental nor idealistic. You find your own solutions and innovations to get a job completed. Your name often makes you feel separate and alone. You have a respect for all living things and could have a keen interest in biology or working with animals. Investigating and studying aspects of the universe or nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your pioneering qualities and your desire to seek your own answers to life. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. You work best where you can combine physical labour with mental activity.
