Your first name of Aretha gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. Light pleasantries and sociability do not appeal to you as much as reading, study, or outdoor activities. However, you have a dignity and poise that allow you to handle responsible positions in business. You are a serious nature and could be subject to momentary moods of depression, thoughts of jealousy, and lack of confidence. Your feelings are better expressed through writing. You can be easily and deeply hurt, yet rarely do you make known your sensitive feelings. Rather than arguing, you use silence as your way of handling difficult situations. You respect nature and the grandeur of the universe. Impromptu expression does not come easily unless you know your subject very well. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration.
