About Samantha

A Kabbalistic Synopsis

From looking at the Hebrew presentation of this name, the letter Aleph abviously dominates Samantha's entire personality. The letter Aleph relates to thoughts and ideas, and suggests that Samantha is forever coming up with new concepts in the workplace. She will be best suited to a role in a creative enviroment where Samantha can really let her mind wander freely. Samantha has an infectious enthusiasm that often persuades other people to give her ideas more serious consideration. Emotionally, Samantha is less confident; there is a strong influence of Scorpio in her name, which can make her somewhat melancholic as well as quite secretive about her real feelings. This need not be a problem, as anyone who is interested in her and willing to listen to her properly will soon win her trust. Once in a relationship, Samantha is a very affectionate and loving partner, which is suggested in part by the letter Th, or Tau, in her name.

The Runic Interpretation

While other girls are thinking about what to buy at the mall, Samantha is likely to be fretting about global warming and concerns related to humanity's survival. The triple Ansuz configuration of signals means Samantha has invisible antennae that sense trends for the future; however, the Nauthiz rune of constraint keeps her from expressing some of her best insights. Once Mannaz, the rune of self, teaches Samantha to surrender her prideful nature, she is more willing to take risks and share her intuition for the benefit of humanity. Opportunities occur that increase her realm of influence, as indicated by the Thurisaz rune in her name. As more people listen to her, Samantha feels deeply validated. The Sowelu rune promises that Samantha will feel productive, generous, and whole.

The Numerological Interpretation

Samantha is naturally geared to connecting with others as well as forging new relationships between people. Therefore, she is gifted in social situations and quite receptive to other people's needs. She has an instinct for being able to see the relationship between cause and effect. This helps her understand how to resolve conflicts. Samantha does well in life in a position that requires her to be a mediator, agent, or go-between.
