The name of Branthocke has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You could find a niche in the business world in strategic planning. In your personal relationships, self-consciousness and a fear of your deeper thoughts and feelings being misunderstood or belittled inhibit spontaneous verbal expression. Also, you could develop an extraordinary ability to concentrate on complex theoretical subject matter such as mathematics, although your success in such endeavours would be limited by a lack of patience and perseverance, and by difficulty in sustaining systematic effort over the long term. This name gives you a strong appreciation of nature and sensitivity to the deeper questions of life. An element of variety and spontaneity is essential to maintain your interest and enthusiasm. Psychic sensitivity to the thoughts and intentions of others could develop, along with premonitions about future events in your life. When the mood suits you, you can be engaging and entertaining in a social situation, but you can swing unpredictably at the slightest offence, real or imagined, into a chilling silence that rebuffs others. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.
