Anthony - Detailed Meaning

The name of Anthony makes you a deep thinker, idealistic, and studious. 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. In your quest for answers you may become drawn into religions or the occult. 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.
 
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 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. Whatever you choose, you invariably prefer to work on your own.
 

 
Drama, music, and art appeal to your inspirational nature and may provide a creative outlet. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. 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 desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. Your feelings run deep and you crave love and affection but, because you seldom share your thoughts, others find it difficult to understand your needs, even if they wish to make you happy.
 

 
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. Feeling inadequate in creating closeness and harmony in close relationships, you could become insecure, jealous, withdrawn, and repressed, and could suffer loneliness...even in a crowd.
 

 
Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension. This conflict will have a toll on your health and could show in weaknesses in your heart, lungs, and bronchial organs.
