The name of Yaakshikka has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. You wonder about their origin. Sometimes it is difficult for you to face life’s realities with their hardships, stress, and turmoil and you often find yourself combating fears of the future and the aspects of life that appear mysterious. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. You have many wonderful ideas and plans but fail to initiate action because of lack of confidence. You can be acutely hurt by unkind comments and it is at such times that you withdraw into your own world of thought. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You are fond of sugars, starches, and sours and, depending on how often you eat these foods, you could be subject to such conditions as eczema or arthritis.
