The name of Japheth creates a quick, analytical, and clever mind; you are creative, versatile, original, and independent. Disappointments create an intensity in your thinking that can make you feel moody and depressed, or cause you to be caustic in your expression towards those you love the most. Change, travel, and opportunities for new experiences are of vital importance to you. You are ambitious and aggressive by nature. Patience is not your forte. You do, however, have leadership ability and would never be happy in a subservient position. There could be issues in close relationships because of your need for freedom: you seek stability, yet rebel against what you see as restrictions; and you recognize your responsibilities, yet rail against the sense of being trapped or tied down by others. You are strong in your opinions and slow to listen to what others have to offer. Unless you have an outlet for your pent-up energy, your tendency to worry because of misunderstandings or pressures of responsibilities could cause you to lose sleep and disturb your peace of mind. This name also creates caustic expression and moods which prevent harmony and happiness in close association.
