Your first name of Joa gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. You prefer positions where your independence and love of freedom are not curtailed, where there is not the constant demands of people. You are intellectual and not easily swayed through the emotions. You seem calm and placid, even when you feel turbulent and unhappy. Harmony and relaxation for you could be a quiet walk along the seashore, or in the woods or anywhere that you can observe the beauties of the outdoors. You appear aloof and, as a result, others do not realize how important affection and understanding are to you. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. As you are a private person, it is a challenge for others to get to know and understand you. Impromptu expression does not come easily unless you know your subject very well. The mysteries of life appeal to you in your search for an understanding of the greater picture of life.
