Your first name of Andries creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others. Craving understanding, love, and affection but disinclined to verbalize your emotions, you may appear cold and aloof to those who would offer kindness. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. Associating with your own age group often does not hold your interest and you tend to seek the stimulation of minds more mature than yourself. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Health problems revolve primarily around worry and a weakness in the respiratory area that could lead to problems with the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.
