Maria: the meaning of the name, character and fate

In this name, strictness and cordiality, a certain asceticism and violent passion are very intricately intertwined. Occasionally, as a result, a very bizarre, contradictory character is born. However, in most cases, one of the traits becomes dominant and has a decisive influence on the formation of character and destiny. As a child, she will be mobile, and have a good sense of humor. And in the depths of the soul, passion, well hidden from others, will ripen. At the same time, the deeper Mary tries to hide her passion, the brighter they will sprout. So being a very strict and serious woman, in the family circle she will be transformed and become very sensual. At the same time, her feelings can develop into passion, and then she ceases to give slightest significance the interests of others over the interests of her child.

Such Maria will choose professions related to influencing people. It will be either medicine or pedagogy. However, none of the works will not be able to draw Mary away from her family. Being a wonderful hostess, she is ready to devote her whole life to children.
