Your first name of Arika gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. Even with lesser ones, you prefer to talk them over with a respected friend or associate first. You need to see a concept presented completely in detail before you can understand it, and if you cannot understand it, you come to your own conclusion and often fail to listen to and reason out another's point of view. This uncertainty and indecision undermines your initiative, positivity, and vitality. You have a strong emotional nature that, if not kept under control, could be detrimental to your health or result in problems in close personal relationships. At times you exhibit an uncompromising attitude and indifference toward others through failing to listen to and reason out another person’s point of view. The lack of vitality in the circulation of your bloodstream will limit your energy, and could cause swelling of the legs and feet, and even result in varicose veins. Although you may dream of better things, you find it hard to maintain the drive to go after them. While you do have many fine qualities, the tensions created by this name do not allow you to enjoy a full and complete life. You resist being forced into change and could become almost impervious to new ideas.
