Your first name of Annapurna gives you self-assurance, independence, and confidence. Those who know you best appreciate your loyalty and honesty. You must be independent and you do not brook interference in any way. As you are not demonstrative of your feelings, others know they can lean on you for support and protection. Because you value friendships you do not hesitate to come to the aid of someone in need; however, your assistance is usually accompanied with words of advice. You are usually either telling or showing someone how to do something properly. You work best as your own boss as you are self-motivated and decisive, and resentful of someone telling you what to do. Although you do not tolerate interference in your own affairs, this characteristic does not prevent you from interfering in the affairs of others. Although you are good-natured and never intend offence, still your blunt, direct, and candid manner of expression strains friendships; your honesty and sincerity earn respect from others. You have to be your own boss as it is most difficult for you to submit to direction from others.
