The name of Kolam gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. In your quest for answers you may become drawn into religions or the occult. Whatever you choose, you invariably prefer to work on your own. Because you tend to place great importance on little gestures and nuances, both in your own expression and in others' communication with you, it is easy for you to misconstrue another's intent and take too personally what is not meant to hurt. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Your feelings run deep and you crave love and affection but, because you seldom share your thoughts, others find it difficult to understand your needs, even if they wish to make you happy. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent.
