Your first name of Marianne has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You are deep, philosophical, and refined, but your extremely sensitive nature causes you to become depressed and self-pitying over any real or imagined slight. You appreciate music, art, and drama and if given training, could excel in those fields. You find it difficult to say “no” and mean it. Your friends seldom know what to expect from you because of this dual character—friendly and charming one moment or lost in introspection the next. On the other hand, among friends with whom you feel at ease, you are expressive, witty, and quite charming. You are loyal to your friends and go out of your way to help others. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
