Your first name of Alkides creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Your feelings are easily hurt and so, to protect yourself, you withdraw within the realm of your private thoughts. Although you are knowledgeable and intelligent, your sensitivity and restriction in expression often causes frustration and could limit the satisfaction and success that would otherwise be gained from your responsible and capable nature. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. Associating with your own age group often does not hold your interest and you tend to seek the stimulation of minds more mature than yourself. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. You can give expression to your personal thoughts and feelings most fluently through the written word. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Health problems revolve primarily around worry and a weakness in the respiratory area that could lead to problems with the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
