The name of Philoctede 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. You desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. Whatever you choose, you invariably prefer to work on your own. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. In your quest for answers you may become drawn into religions or the occult. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. 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. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. This conflict will have a toll on your health and could show in weaknesses in your heart, lungs, and bronchial organs.
