Your name of Agate has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You find companionship in novels and can become so absorbed in your reading that you are unaware of what is going on around you. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. Because of the sensitivity of your nature, you are easily hurt and offended. You love books, especially mysteries and romance. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. 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.
