The name of Shanks creates an intense personal nature. These characteristics spoil stability, progress, and accumulation, even though you may put forth intense effort. Because of your definite ideas and opinions, you work best on your own, free from the advice or interference of others. You try to add something new and different to whatever you undertake, and would eagerly set off into new fields. In your effort to do your very best, you tend to focus all your energy and attention on your immediate short-term goal to the exclusion of other responsibilities and activities. You are inclined to resist being influenced to change your mind once you have reached your decision, and you object to being told what to do. You could develop creative expression in art, music, or drama, doing to an extreme whatever arouses your interest. A lack of attention to detail, and an aversion to routine and monotony could disrupt your work habits and thwart the orderly completion of your undertakings, even though you put forth great effort. Temper and indulgence could become serious problems in your life. Your health could suffer through disorders affecting the nervous system such as fits, strokes, palsy, or epilepsy, or through weakness in the senses of the head that result in headaches, sinus conditions, or defective hearing or eye-sight.
