The name of Hephastion 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. Otherwise, the humdrum tedium of a daily work routine and competitive pressures would result in frustration and inner turmoil. Emotional urges could disrupt your personal relationships. While you prefer to avoid crowds and interaction with the public, you could be drawn to sales and promotion where you handle an exclusive product line or where you deal with the products of the earth as in forestry, mining, or real estate. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. 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. 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. An element of variety and spontaneity is essential to maintain your interest and enthusiasm. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
