Your first name of Shantia gives you a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature. Under stressful and intense situations, it is a challenge to maintain an even temperament as you are extreme in your feelings: optimistic and happy one moment, despondent and self-pitying the next. Because you are intuitive and impressionable, at times even psychic, you are influenced by your surroundings and the thoughts and feelings of others, including their suffering. You do not like to stand alone. If you drive yourself, you will experience nervous problems and challenges in maintaining your equilibrium. You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand, and you can be deeply influenced through the thoughts of others without realizing just how you are being affected. If given the training, you could excel in creative self-expression, particularly in playing an instrument, in speech arts, or in dancing. Plenty of rest and relaxation is needed in order to handle responsibilities. 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. 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.
