Your first name of Shanta gives you a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature. This sensitivity contributes to your variable nature, and can lead to uncontrolled, disturbing thoughts. Plenty of rest and relaxation is needed in order to handle responsibilities. As a result, your efforts tend to be scattered and unsuccessful. Since your life is people-oriented, you must hold confidences shared with you and guard your tongue against a tendency to gossip. There are times in your life when others are apt to take advantage because you find it difficult to say "no" especially if your sympathies are appealed to. Fashionable clothes and refined surroundings would add to your poise and self-assurance. There may be a tendency to make impractical promises that satisfy the situation for the moment. Moods are a problem as you can be highly inspired one minute, and the next become quite irritated and annoyed over some ill-timed remark or lack of consideration on the part of someone close to you. Others are inclined to take advantage of your generosity and friendliness and then, when there is a lack of reciprocation, you can feel despondent and disillusioned.
