Amala and Amália are extremely lively and energetic women who are also warm and friendly, cheerful and very likeable. They are rather quirky and have various areas of interests, of both a creative and intellectual nature and simply for fun. Because they are extremely sensitive they could appear reserved, wary or even inhibited at first; however their true nature is authoritarian and strong-willed, despite their volatile emotions which can sometimes destabilize them. With their cyclothymic moods and exaggerated reactions, they can indeed be very changeable characters. Furthermore, they are highly-strung and irascible which hardly makes their interactions with others any easier. Introverted at times, light-hearted and talkative at others, it can be difficult to discern their "real" personality. They are quite proud and feel torn between the desire to impress others, take control of their lives and succeed, and a tendency to take the path of least resistance (especially if they were born in March, or a 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th, or if their Life Path Number is 3). Bright and quick-witted, they are critical, cynical and sensitive to humour. As children, they are adaptable, cheerful, bubbly, quick as a flash and often more interested in play than work. They cannot tolerate being relegated to the side-lines and are capable of outbursts of anger if they feel that they have been wronged. Sensitive to esthetics and art, it would be a good idea to encourage them to make the most of their creative talents, because when they are motivated, Amala and Amália are capable of great personal effort and the results could be astonishing.
