The name of Shanks creates a dual nature in that you can be very generous and understanding, but you can also be so candid in your expression that you create misunderstanding. At times, you are an extremist in whatever holds your interest, with the result that you focus all your energies, your ingenuity, and originality of thought to do your best. There are times you have regretted the rage and fury you felt, yet it is difficult for you to control your feelings. Independence and freedom of action mean a great deal to you; therefore, you enjoy positions where you are giving instructions rather than taking them. You dislike monotony. Being somewhat excitable and high-strung, you realize that if provoked, you have a strong temper. You tend to scatter your efforts by being involved in too many activities at times, thereby forfeiting success in some areas because of lack of attention to detail. Because of your definite ideas and opinions, you work best on your own, free from the advice or interference of others. If you allowed it, temper and self-pity could be problems. Stress causes health weaknesses to centre in the senses of the head, or the nervous system.
