Your first name of Puriri makes you spontaneous and versatile, enjoying congenial association, appreciating the finer things of life, and loving to talk and debate. Your desire for independence and freedom means that you seldom tolerate limitations. 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. You like to act spontaneously, but impulsive decisions and poor judgment can occasionally lead you into unsettling situations that spoil the success of your undertakings. Because you like to get your own way, and have difficulty in seeing alternative points of view, others accuse you of obstinacy or self-centredness. You thrive on interacting with people, particularly when there is the opportunity to implement your original, creative ideas. 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. In an argument, you usually emerge the victor, but at a cost. Although you are naturally happy and generous, you fail to hold friendships because you are inclined to be too dogmatic, argumentative, or sarcastic.
