Your name of Silkia gives you independence and determination. You are an active person, with an appreciation for outdoor activities, either on your own or with one or two close friends who share the same affinity for nature and the challenges it provides. Under circumstances when others are expressive, you feel inferior because you recognize your inability to communicate your deeper thoughts and feelings. 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 are not sentimental nor idealistic. You experience peace in nature and, through observing nature, can acknowledge the harmony and the harshness of life that applies to nature’s laws of instinct and survival. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. You have a respect for all living things and could have a keen interest in biology or working with animals. You work best where you can combine physical labour with mental activity. 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.
