Your name of Phoenix gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. Being obliging and helpful to others in times of need may be at the neglect of your own duties. As a result of your difficulty in coming to decisions, you often put off taking action until forced to do so. New interests and skills are developed only as the need arises in your life, and you tend not to be naturally curious and interested in scientific or philosophical studies. Although you desire to create harmony with others, you can be obstinate and self-opinionated. It is sometimes difficult for you to muster the interest, initiative, and reasoning ability to concentrate and to think through complex concepts, especially in subjects that do not hold your interest, and you learn more through practical applications. Your tendency to be candid, and at times abrupt, causes misunderstandings. It may be difficult to accept advice or be told what to do as you like to do things your own way, learning from your own experiences. You want to be more expressive, diplomatic, and easy-going, but you feel the limitation in your communication with others and it creates frustration within you. Then you can be quietly stubborn and resist taking advice.
