The name of Raphael 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. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. 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 sensitive about your idealistic thoughts, and an unappreciative person can hurt you and cause you to become secretive about that which you value deeply. 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. 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. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. You crave peace and tranquillity, but seldom attain it, although you may find a degree of mental freedom when you go out into nature. 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.
