Your name of Ranis gives you independence and determination. You take life as it comes, learning as you go. 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. You prefer the simple life and do not mind making do at times. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or work for someone who realizes your strengths. You work best alone making your own decisions as it is not always easy for you to respond to the advice and direction of others as you feel the need to be in control. Once you get an idea, you forge ahead, despite obstacles, until you reach the end of your project. Yet, when others get to know you, they realize you are loyal in your friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. 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 feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy.
