Your first name of Maria gives you the desire to understand and to help others but, at the same time you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. Because your mind is quick and intelligent and because you are very considerate, you are able to put others at ease by turning aside contentious issues. You could be successful in public office where you are diligently looking after the rights of others. You love children and would not hesitate to care for any children who might need you. However, you have a good business head, practical and capable of handling responsibility for others. There is a serious side to your nature in that you care about people and have a sense of responsibility to help them. You have a love of home and family and could be a good mother because of your gentle, loving ways. When you are needed and appreciated by others, you sense a security which builds your confidence. If given the opportunity, you could develop musical and artistic abilities. Though you recognize your responsibilities, you are inclined to put things off until you are forced to take action.
