The name of Machiko gives you a responsible, reserved, and dignified nature, able to find a certain amount of success in anything you undertake. Your reserved nature makes it difficult for you to feel as free and natural as you would like. A sense of independence and freedom is important to you, as well as times alone to enjoy quietly the unfolding beauties experienced in a natural environment. You rarely argue, but treat an injustice with cool indifference that can sometimes wound others worse than words. In your own quiet, independent, and responsible way, you often sacrifice your own opportunities to help others, especially within the family. It is the little things you do for others that declare your devotion, such as sending flowers, making a telephone call, or writing a note. At times, your sensitivity and lack of spontaneous expression causes feelings of repression and loneliness. They may consider you to be aloof and unemotional since you are not demonstrative, but composed and dignified. You require time alone, especially in the outdoors, to cope with the pressures of life. Health problems relative to the heart and respiratory organs could arise.
