The name of Amanda has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You have a philosophical interest in knowing the “why’s” and “wherefore’s” of life, but you tend to drift into daydreams and to find it challenging to concentrate and apply system and order in your activities. Sometimes it is difficult for you to face life’s realities with their hardships, stress, and turmoil and you often find yourself combating fears of the future and the aspects of life that appear mysterious. You have a clever imagination and an ability to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through composition and poetry. When you feel understood, you tend to show your affection for others through acts of consideration. You wonder about their origin. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. You dream of romance, but you have experienced heartache because of your idealistic qualities. You are fond of sugars, starches, and sours and, depending on how often you eat these foods, you could be subject to such conditions as eczema or arthritis. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.
