Your first name of Shontal gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. You are capable and clever and would excel in executive positions. Your reticence has caused you to suffer aloneness and misunderstandings. You listen for the sounds of the birds and animals, the wind in the trees, the rolling surf, gently falling rain. As you rarely disclose aspects of your personal life, others must persevere in getting to know you. As you live much of the time within your own thoughts, someone can be speaking to you face to face, but you will be thinking about something entirely different and have closed out the conversation. Because of your strong concentrative abilities, you can shut noises and activities out so completely that you may not even hear someone calling your name. However, you have a dignity and poise that allow you to handle responsible positions in business. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration. Impromptu expression does not come easily unless you know your subject very well.
