Your first name of Philani creates a serious, thoughtful nature, shrewd, efficient, and business-minded. Your standards of quality and efficiency are high. Situations requiring sympathy and understanding, or where compliments are expected, may make you feel awkward and embarrassed. You take your responsibilities seriously and have a deep appreciation for family, the home environment, and the community. Being self-assured and self-reliant, you are naturally inclined toward operating your own business or pursuing opportunities where your sense of freedom would not be curtailed. By nature you are serious, thoughtful, and studious. It is sometimes challenging for you to listen to and understand the viewpoints of others because your opinions are strong, carefully thought out, and sensible. As you are staunch in friendship, you can be depended upon for guidance and assistance. A tendency to worry far too much over obligations and responsibilities could lead to a disturbed mental state. In your personal relations with others, you are inclined to be rather serious, and not to see the humour others see, or to respond spontaneously.
