Your first name of Ruth has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. Although you can be thorough in whatever you decide to undertake, you prefer to avoid technical, mathematical work. Love and affection are motivating qualities within you, but it is not easy for you to find the words to express your deeper feelings of affection. Occasionally, you can be argumentative, obstinate, and somewhat intolerant of the weaknesses of others, even though it is not your intention to be deliberately hurtful. If told that you must do something, you tend to resist, but when your sense of co-operation is appealed to, then your desire to please brings out your best. Although you desire to be spontaneous and natural, you are often drawn into technical and methodical lines of endeavour and the incidentals of life. Although you would like to be natural in conveying emotional sentiments, you tend to be matter-of-fact and practical in expressions of appreciation for others. On occasion, you tend to be very fussy and particular over incidentals and, at other times, too scattering and inconsistent. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities.
