Your first name of Philasande has created a deep, sensitive, refined nature with an intelligent mind and a keen appreciation of material values. Your sensitivity and reserve prevent people from coming close in friendship. You are articulate in expressing your thoughts on business or impersonal matters, but, when it comes to sharing your deeper feelings, this name creates a restriction. Those close to you may feel unsettled and insecure because of mixed messages: you show an undercurrent of possessiveness yet you hesitate to express affection, appreciation, and tenderness. In school, you could have been good at mathematics, accounting, science, computer programming, or any subject that required your full interest and attention. If you work in a managerial or executive position, you would be a quiet boss, but you would expect a high standard of results. There is a tendency to be controlling both in business and in your personal life. Although you have a sensitive inner nature and a desire for affection and understanding, your dignified manner and reserve often give the impression that you are aloof and wishing to distance yourself. You live much within your own thoughts, and seek relaxation away from people, out in nature, where you can ease the tensions of your life. You find it difficult to express your true feelings, whether it be affection, appreciation, or tenderness, which play such an important part in creating a close bond within the family.
