Your name of Pvetlana makes you independent, self-reliant, and determined. You crave affection and understanding, but rarely find it as others do not understand you and accuse you of being cool and aloof. The crashing of waves against the shore, mountain peaks silhouetted against a dusky sky, are surroundings that help you to experience peace and contentment. All the finer things of life and beauties of nature are an inspiration to you and you are attracted to the mysteries of nature. You desire affection and understanding but often leave the impression that you want to be left alone. You could excel in scientific research because of your ability to concentrate and remember details, or you could be inventive along practical, mechanical lines. However, if provoked, you retaliate candidly because of your difficulty in finding the right diplomatic words to create understanding. You are quiet and gentle mannered as a rule, preferring silence to argument and turmoil. A very individual, independent person, you live within your own thoughts. The insecurity you experience from limited verbal expression and social ease results in a jealous possessiveness and suffering through frustration, repressed emotion, and self-consciousness.
