Your first name of Altheya has given you inspirational, idealistic, and dramatic qualities. You enjoy atmosphere—candlelight, flowers, violins—all those refinements that create the right setting. You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and are at the most creative when inspired. Your expressive, affectionate nature responds quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous. At other times, you resort to silence as a method of handling a problem. You do not appreciate being taken for granted. If given the training, you could excel in literary or artistic composition. Although you appear calm outwardly, your thoughts can be turbulent. You may experience health weaknesses in the lungs, heart, or nervous system because of your high-strung nature. Unfortunately, it is difficult for you to retain emotional stability, for you can easily swing into moods of depression and self-pity.
