The name of Philip gives you a very idealistic nature. Success could come more easily when you can work independently in the fields of science or writing or in dealing with products of the earth. Because of your lack of self-assertion, it is not easy for you to carve a niche in the business world. Should your finer thoughts be ridiculed, you become hurt and withdrawn. It is only in the quiet of the out-of-doors that you find happiness and contentment. You lack the necessary aggressiveness for business success. Your need for peace and harmony causes you to withdraw from any form of friction or confrontation. Your sense that there is a deeper meaning to life gives you an interest in philosophy or religion. Health weaknesses could affect your heart or respiratory system causing lung problems such as pneumonia, asthma, or shortness of breath. While you lack verbal expression and spontaneity under this name, you have a natural literary ability and writing comes easily to you.
