The name of Nicandros 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. 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 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. Although self-conscious in front of people, when you put on a costume you could excel at performing arts, even to the point where you lose a sense of reality. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. Personal experiences of an intuitive nature have given you an awareness of the invisible forces of nature causing you to theorize about life and its mysteries. Because you tend to place great importance on little gestures and nuances, both in your own expression and in others' communication with you, it is easy for you to misconstrue another's intent and take too personally what is not meant to hurt. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension.
