Your name of Rafael has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. Because of the sensitivity of your nature, you are easily hurt and offended. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. You are interested in the deeper aspects of life and invariably are attracted to mystery, the occult, and religious concepts. You do not find it easy to articulate your deeper thoughts and feelings; it is much easier for you to pen your thoughts. You could be very creative in composition or poetry. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. You seldom allow others to get too close until you are sure you will receive understanding. 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. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
