Your first name of Shanteya has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. On the other hand, among friends with whom you feel at ease, you are expressive, witty, and quite charming. You enjoy reading and can become so absorbed that you are unaware of what is happening around you. By taking a walk in nature, you can often settle turmoil within yourself. You appreciate music, art, and drama and if given training, could excel in those fields. People tend to be guarded in handling your over-sensitive qualities. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring.
