Your first name of Rica has made you a hard worker with a meticulous sense of detail. The more deeply you feel about someone, the harder it is for you to express the little attentions and compliments that mean so much to some people. You have a great deal of patience and independence, and you can be relied upon to complete your undertakings. You are rather skeptical of new ideas that are more visionary, idealistic, or philosophical. Since lavish affection embarrasses you, you do not appreciate being the target for endearing words. Once you have made a decision, you put forth great effort to accomplish your goals regardless of obstacles. Your lack of expression can lead to misunderstandings and unhappiness with those close to you who do not understand your practical, candid, somewhat self-centred approach. This name inhibits the inspirational quality of musical or artistic expression. At times you find it difficult to express the depth of your feelings for those you love. Also, your fondness for heavier foods can affect the intestinal organs causing constipation, hemorrhoids, and even in severe cases, ulcers or growths.
