Your name of Portia has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You do not find it easy to articulate your deeper thoughts and feelings; it is much easier for you to pen your thoughts. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. Because of the sensitivity of your nature, you are easily hurt and offended. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. If you feel that anyone is prying into your life, you try to steer conversations away from yourself. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. 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.
