The name of Basanna has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. If you do not cultivate the positive, constructive expression of your inner feelings through creative activity, you could become lost in fantasy and idle dreaming. In your personal relationships, self-consciousness and a fear of your deeper thoughts and feelings being misunderstood or belittled inhibit spontaneous verbal expression. Given the training and opportunity, you could excel in music, art, drama, or writing. Family, friends, and business associates often find you to be uncommunicative and secretive. You could find a niche in the business world in strategic planning. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. Also, you could develop an extraordinary ability to concentrate on complex theoretical subject matter such as mathematics, although your success in such endeavours would be limited by a lack of patience and perseverance, and by difficulty in sustaining systematic effort over the long term. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.
