Your name of Rivka gives you independence and determination. 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. 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. You find your own solutions and innovations to get a job completed. 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 have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. Unfortunately, it is a challenge for you to express tenderness to others. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or work for someone who realizes your strengths. 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.
