Vikas is a strong man who is quite unfathomable due to two opposing components in his first name. The first, masculine and irascible, excitable and passionate; comes from the association of the karmic 1 and 8, and will be accentuated if the day or the month of birth is a 1st, 8th, 10th, 17th, 19th, 26th, 28th, January or August, or if his Life Path Number is 1 or 8. The other tendency makes him nervous, private, internalized, shy or even inhibited; coming from the association of the 7 and 9, especially if his day or month of birth falls on a 7th, 16th or 25th of the month; in July, or if he has a Life Path Number of 7. Individualistic and personal, he is a man of duty - perhaps more so in his intentions than in real life, however. He has difficulty making himself understood, his reactions are often unpredictable and he could just as easily react in an untimely or drastic manner as become withdrawn in a more or less painful sensitivity. Dialogue, tact and diplomacy are not his strong points even though his intuition is very well developed... He is generally an active person but his tendency to go to extremes can mean that his lifestyle is subject to change. Either he puts all his heart and soul into the task at hand, working relentlessly until he has finished - or he takes refuge in total inactivity. As a child, Vikas tries to impose himself and will spend a lot of time and energy to earn the respect of those around him. Parents, avoid rubbing him up the wrong way and encourage him to communicate. A star pupil, Vikas's education could be a roaring success (predominance of the 7), unless his need for independence, versatility and impatience lead him to become a self-taught genius (predominance of the 1 or 8).
