Your first name of Akela has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. On the other hand, among friends with whom you feel at ease, you are expressive, witty, and quite charming. In a large group of comparative strangers, you are quiet and rather shy, unable to express yourself, not really wanting to become involved in conversation. Occasionally, when you are unhappy or disappointed by something, you can be moody and temperamental, and feel misunderstood and unappreciated. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You find it difficult to say “no” and mean it. When you feel misunderstood, you become very reserved and quiet, and do not want to be with people. You love to argue and can be strong-willed, but you are easily hurt by the comments of others. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding.
