Nathan - Detailed Meaning

Your name of Nathan gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. It is very important to you to have peaceful, settled conditions in your life. In your employment, you would want a job that is secure and dependable, preferably in some technical capacity where you have limited decision-making responsibility. Not liking to stand alone, you seek the assurance from others to give you the confidence to do your best.
 
You are not comfortable having to make major decisions. Even with lesser ones, you prefer to talk them over with a respected friend or associate first. It is not easy for you to face issues and take a stand on them, for not only are you somewhat lacking in self-confidence, but also you prefer to avoid situations in which there could be dissension. It is hard for you to face an issue directly and say "yes" or "no" and mean it, though you have a quickness of mind that enables you to respond with artful diplomacy to evade unpleasant situations.

 
Procrastination, which arises from not being sure of yourself, is one of your major weaknesses because of your preference to avoid issues or unpleasantness in all forms. This uncertainty and indecision undermines your initiative, positivity, and vitality. Although you may dream of better things, you find it hard to maintain the drive to go after them.
 

 
Your name restricts inspirational qualities and the ability to visualize new ideas and theories. You require new ideas or concepts to be presented in complete detail before you can understand them properly and accept them. A positive outcome of these mental qualities is that you could develop the capability for very thorough and logical analysis enabling you to excel in technical or scientific fields. On the other hand, friction in association could result because your penchant for exactness and detail can cause others to find you to be too fussy over what they consider to be inconsequential matters in the home or at work.

 
You have a strong emotional nature that, if not kept under control, could be detrimental to your health or result in problems in close personal relationships. Others do not always realize how sensitive and aware you are of their thoughts and feelings toward you. This name brings the tendency to magnify small issues out of proportion or to become too involved in personality conflicts. At times you exhibit an uncompromising attitude and indifference toward others through failing to listen to and reason out another person's point of view.
 

 
Weaknesses in your physical body show in either the fluid functions or the digestive and eliminative tract. Sluggish circulation of your bloodstream through lack of physical activity could limit your energy, and could cause swelling of the legs and feet, and even result in varicose veins. Growths could also be a possibility in the digestive tract or prostate gland.
 

Health Analysis

• This name is not conducive to good health, and tends to engender the desire for heavy foods, for example, excessive protein and carbohydrates. You could suffer with problems relative to the fluid functions or intestinal tract, swelling of the legs and ankles, or over-stoutness.
