Your name of Cilia gives you independence and determination. Under circumstances when others are expressive, you feel inferior because you recognize your inability to communicate your deeper thoughts and feelings. You have known misunderstandings and a tendency to jealousy and moods of depression. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. You enjoy the simple pleasures of life especially activities that take you outdoors. Once you get an idea, you forge ahead, despite obstacles, until you reach the end of your project. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy.
