Your first name of Ruth has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. On occasion, you can be very fussy and particular over incidentals and, at other times, too scattering and inconsistent. However, despite the hurt, you do not tend to brood for long, as you want to be happy and optimistic. Although you can be thorough in whatever you decide to undertake, you prefer to avoid technical, mathematical work. While you are usually measured and deliberate in what you say, occasionally, your strong opinions can cause you to be argumentative, obstinate, and somewhat intolerant of the weaknesses of others, even though it is not your intention to be deliberately hurtful. However, you find it difficult to reciprocate, as your expression tends to be matter-of-fact in responding to others. You desire to be spontaneous and artistic but there are qualities in this name that restrict your imaginative, creative talents and make you deliberate and careful. An appetite for rich, heavy foods can aggravate health weaknesses which centre in the intestinal tract or liver. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. There is conflict between your desires and your expression which does not allow scope for your capabilities.
