The name of Joan creates a very quiet, practical nature and a clever and inventive mind. You also enjoy the outdoors and activities such as gardening, hiking, and nature study. You dislike crowds and prefer to limit social activities to a few close friends. Your methodical mind requires consistency of thought for clarity of concept. Since you are not overly conversational and tend to be matter of fact and candid in your speech, you wish many times that you could be spontaneous, expressive, and happy-go-lucky. Being steadfast and trustworthy, you are recognized as a hard worker who experiences satisfaction from accomplishment. You take life seriously and can be easily and deeply hurt and go into moods which can be quite extreme at times, causing much turmoil and unhappiness. Reading and research interest you. You desire so much to be understood, but your name has limited your verbal expression to such an extent that it is very difficult for you to divulge your innermost thoughts even to those closest to you. Your desire for heavier foods, could bring weaknesses in health affecting the stomach or intestinal organs, and could cause, for example, either constipation, arthritis, rheumatism, or growths.
