Your name of Sylvia gives you independence and determination. Investigating and studying aspects of the universe or nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your pioneering qualities and your desire to seek your own answers to life. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and therefore can be depended upon for assistance. You have known misunderstandings and a tendency to jealousy and moods of depression. You experience peace in nature and, through observing nature, can acknowledge the harmony and the harshness of life that applies to nature’s laws of instinct and survival. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. You have a respect for all living things and could have a keen interest in biology or working with animals. Unfortunately, it is a challenge for you to express tenderness to others. You work best where you can combine physical labour with mental activity. The restrictions of this name cause you to suffer with either headaches, weak eyes, sinus problems, asthma, or heart conditions.
