Although her flexible psyche helps her to endure all failures.

Not naturally determined, she has to refuse to set high goals for herself. When trying to achieve what she wants, she begins to panic at the first difficulties that arise, but her character does not allow her to ask for help. Possessing indecision, she has to go with the flow and walk through life only along a well-trodden path. The absurdity of her character still allows Svetlana to devote herself to friendship with devotion and selflessness. You can always feel comfort next to her. The wisdom that will appear in her with age will increase her attractiveness to others. She will never have self-interest and impudence.

What does the name Svetlana mean for a woman? It combines such qualities as: kindness and authority, perseverance and inability to make decisions, altruism and high self-esteem. Despite her quirkiness in the girl’s character, this does not prevent her from becoming a leader and commander, although she is friendly and generous. She always tries to defend her opinion to the end.

Positive qualities of Sveta more pronounced than negative ones. It should be noted that she does not pay any attention to the opinions of others, and she is even flattered when people talk about her. Most often, it is not very easy for her to cope with her emotions, since she is a very temperamental person. Her bossiness goes well with her easygoing nature, so it’s easy to get along with her, even if she’s in a bad mood.

However, all her knowledge will be superficial and limited only to information from textbooks. It will be important for parents to instill in her a love of reading in order to so that she grows into a well-rounded personality.

As she gets older, she won't want to work or study. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to develop tactfulness and determination in her. You should not abuse strict upbringing, as in this case it may manifest itself negative side character. Parents should try to find a middle ground so that their daughter can show her best qualities at an older age.

So that the girl begins to accept arguments moms and dads, they must touch her to the core. In case of non-compliance, quite simple rules a girl, after years of holding back feelings and emotions, will want to let them out. She will begin to indulge in wild life and fun with redoubled force.

At first glance, cold and unapproachable Sveta is actually sensual and romantic. She will not see the meaning in life without a man. She undoubtedly needs someone who will love her. But despite this, intimate relationships do not play a huge role in life. Spiritual connection is much more important to her.

A man who can protect and provide for his woman in a difficult situation will be able to find favor with her. If the partner is passionate and gentle, then she will become clay in his hands. And from her you can mold a sensual and desirable woman.

Family relationships

Sveta is well aware of the importance of family for a girl, so she is more careful when choosing a life partner. Most often, early marriage is not typical for her, and she rarely makes mistakes in choosing a lover, since for a long time waiting for her prince. Home and children - that's it, in which Sveta can find herself. Family happiness will completely absorb her, and she will quit her job without regret.

She will rely on her husband for everything, this may apply to financial problems and all life tasks. With great pleasure she will hand over the palm to her husband, but despite this, she will try to keep everything under her control. If she has to deal life problems or work, she will be unhappy.

Because of her dislike of studying, she may be left without higher education. However, he may find his calling in such professions as:

• Salesman.
• Administrator.
• Cook.
• Manager.
• Copywriter.

But she will not become a businessman, since she is hampered by her inability to complete the work she has started. This means that she does not hear the voice of reason, so her actions are driven by emotions and impulses. In addition, she combines two contradictory qualities: ambition and laziness. As a rule, Sveta is not concerned about building her career or business. She can be controlled by her emotions, and a small change in mood can force her to suddenly and radically change her job.
