Your first name of Ionia has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. You are happiest when you are expressing in some artistic way, free from monotony and detail. People tend to be guarded in handling your over-sensitive qualities. However, self-consciousness, at times, prevents you from feeling at ease in positions of impromptu self-expression. If you are not careful, people take advantage of your generous nature. The mysteries of life, the phenomena of nature, and religious and occult concepts appeal to your desire to understand the deeper aspects of life. When you are with acquaintances and strangers, you tend to be reserved and reticent, shy and secretive but, on the other hand, with close friends you can sometimes be the life of the party, expressive, humorous, dramatic, and fun-loving. You love to argue and can be strong-willed, but you are easily hurt by the comments of others. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding.
