The name of Assante gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. You crave peace and tranquillity, but seldom attain it, although you may find a degree of mental freedom when you go out into nature. Whatever you choose, you invariably prefer to work on your own. Your feelings run deep and you crave love and affection but, because you seldom share your thoughts, others find it difficult to understand your needs, even if they wish to make you happy. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You could excel in mathematics or science or other fields that require extreme focus and concentration, or you could be drawn to working with the products of the earth. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature.
