The name of Wairaka has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. You strive to be different and have the self-confidence to implement your ideas because you have the perseverance necessary to see something through, despite obstacles. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. However, once you make up your mind that something is going to work, you persevere until it is accomplished. You like to act spontaneously, but impulsive decisions and poor judgment can occasionally lead you into unsettling circumstances which spoil the success of your undertakings. You do not depend on others for encouragement, but you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. Because you like to get your own way, and your name makes it difficult for you to see things from other points of view, others accuse you of obstinacy or self-centredness. These tendencies could spoil long-term understanding and compatibility. At times when your expressive urges seem to be bottled up, you experience stress and react to others critically instead of handling situations in a relaxed, cheerful manner. This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations.
