Your name of Mariss gives you a strong urge for independence. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. Neither sentimental nor idealistic, you take life as it comes and learn as you go. Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner. You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship. Investigating and studying various aspects of nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your desire to seek an understanding of life. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and can be depended upon for assistance. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. You work best where you can combine physical labour and prefer to work where you can spend time outdoors.
