The name of Shankara has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. As your independence and freedom are very important, you will seldom tolerate limitations. You like to act spontaneously, but impulsive decisions and poor judgment can occasionally lead you into unsettling circumstances which spoil the success of your undertakings. With increased familiarity you are inclined to speak your mind in a forthright, sometimes argumentative manner which creates annoyance and often hard feelings. You tend to scatter your efforts and to avoid those activities that require concentration, system and order, and attention to detail. However, once you make up your mind that something is going to work, you persevere until it is accomplished. You could be inventive and ingenious along practical lines. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. At times when your expressive urges seem to be bottled up, you experience stress and react to others critically instead of handling situations in a relaxed, cheerful manner. In an argument, you usually emerge victor, but at a cost.
