As Matei, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. Your optimism can be a source of inspiration to others as well as yourself. In your work you would seek a position offering self expression through contact with people such as sales or teaching, or an outlet providing scope for your creative artistic talents. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. Although you tend to be too serious at times, your optimism helps you bounce back quickly. Because of your inclination to be impulsive, at times it is the good luck that comes with this name that gets you out of a difficult situation. Spontaneous and inquisitive, you enjoy meeting and mixing with people from many different backgrounds and you relish opportunities for debate. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Although there is a tendency to worry, on the whole this is a healthy name. Liver or skin problems or an over-heated bloodstream could result from an indulgence in quick-energy foods.
