Your name of Ampersand makes you independent, self-reliant, and determined. You enjoy practical creativity which calls upon your originality and ingenuity. The average person would never realize the true depth of your nature. Although you tend not to like crowds and social activities, there are occasions when you feel lonely and misunderstood. Difficulty in expression results in your being too positive, blunt, and candid in speech and although you are easily offended by others, you do not show it. You enjoy exploring and observing animals and birds in their natural surroundings. You are earnest and studious, but can be stubborn and fixed in your ideas and opinions. It is challenging for you to reveal your deeper thoughts and feelings, as you tend to be self-conscious, reserved, and secretive. There could also be a sensitivity in the heart and respiratory organs. The insecurity you experience from limited verbal expression and social ease results in a jealous possessiveness and suffering through frustration, repressed emotion, and self-consciousness.
