Your name of Analley has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. You seldom allow others to get too close until you are sure you will receive understanding. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom.
