Your first name of Alkmaion has made you practical, systematic, and thorough. You see the practical side of situations and tend to deal with problems in an objective, sensible, and systematic way. You are mathematically adept and can have great patience with work of a detailed nature such as bookkeeping, accounting, computer technology, or manual work of a skilled nature. Being self-sufficient, you must remember that thoughtful expressions of affection toward those close to you are important. An inclination to be overly cautious and serious could make you pessimistic and lacking in humour. Friends and associates may detect a lack of feeling and sympathy in their relationship with you. You tend to treat new and unfamiliar ideas with scepticism. Because of the serious, responsible qualities of your name, you must recognize the importance of a sense of humour and optimistic perspective of life. You express your appreciation for others by what you do for them rather than by what you say. You have an appetite for rich heavy foods, and a tendency to eat more than the body can process.
