The name Udana gives you a strongly independent and highly creative nature, with drive and ambition to have experiences and accomplish things out of the ordinary. You are naturally curious about life, always seeking the reason of things. You are not inclined to appreciate a joke played on yourself. As you are ambitious and self-reliant, you can accomplish anything as long as it holds your interest. You should never be put in positions involving detailed, monotonous routine, as your intense nature requires creative outlets for accomplishment and progress; otherwise, moods and depression may result. You will not tolerate being thwarted in your undertakings. Even though you are very analytical and logical, you tend to veer from intense optimism to intense pessimism. Being charitable, you will go out of your way to help others and champion those in less fortunate circumstances. Relaxation is elusive, and depletion due to nervous tension can develop to the point where you become subject to moods of depression and morbid thoughts. Also tension could centre in the solar plexus and stomach, causing nervous indigestion, muscular cramps, ulcerated stomach, or moods of depression that may lead to morbid or destructive thoughts.
