Your first name Alcides gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake. You understand people's strengths and where they can be best utilized for efficiency and success. You would have assumed responsibilities from a young age; as an adult you may be a pillar within your community because of your interest to be of service. Others may resent your somewhat "know it all" attitude, but will respect you for your work ethic and focus to reach your objectives. You are able to retain facts, to grasp new information to your existing store of knowledge. Good business judgment lets you see the bigger picture and the steps needed to reach projected goals. You appreciate a stable home environment and would make a good parent, although family time often takes a back seat to business commitments. Your ability to organize and direct the efforts of others enables you to excel in any managerial position because you have the ability to grasp the concept of a goal complete with an understanding of the steps to be taken. This name creates a generally healthy body, although if not combined with a balanced surname it could lead to worry and weakness in the generative organs, or a reaction to overeating of rich foods. Strict and demanding in your expectations of those close to you, you are also charitable, supportive, and protective.
