Your name of Francesca has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. 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 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 have a clever, quick, and analytical mind and you could enjoy and excel in music and drama, or along scientific and mathematical lines. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. If you feel that anyone is prying into your life, you try to steer conversations away from yourself. Your vivid imagination places you right in the story and even if someone calls you, you may not hear. You are not the argumentative type, but you can admonish a person by saying nothing, your silent disapproval being felt by others. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. 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.
