Your name of Vladimir gives you independence and determination. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. You recognize your difficulty in expressing emotional sentiments and compliments that mean so much to sensitive people. You work best alone making your own decisions as it is not always easy for you to respond to the advice and direction of others as you feel the need to be in control. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. 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. 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. 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. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy.
