About PatrickA Kabbalistic SynopsisYou won't find Patrick being enticed by the bright lights of the big city. No way--Patrick is a country boy through and through. The compression of his name produces the letters Shin and Kaph, which between them indicate a man with a real drive and lust for life and a good deal of practical ability. In fact, Patrick is most suited to a career as a craftsman; he would be excellent at making and restoring fine furniture or renovating old cars. The important element to any job Patrick chooses is that it not be situated in an office, and that it allow him to use his manual skills to their best effect. Money isn't particularly important to Patrick but tradition usually is, and he may well spend all his life in his hometown. This wouldn't suit many people, but Patrick finds all the variety he wants in his familiar environment and doesn't much feel the need to seek out new sights and sounds elsewhere. If all this seems a little dull, you should attend one of Patrick's holiday parties sometime!
A Runic InterpretationFirmly closing the door on the past makes the window of new opportunities pop right open. The Perth rune of initiation causes a radical severance of some kind with the past. Ansuz, the rune of intuition, helps Patrick keep his balance during this transformation. Isa, the rune of standstill, cautions him not to fight the changes he is enduring. The Teiwaz energy of the warrior gives Patrick the stamina and the vision he needs to set new goals and forge ahead. Once Patrick has charted a new path for himself, the world will warmly support this change in him. Kano, the rune of opening, offers Patrick clarity and focus. The Raido rune helps Patrick explore new lifestyles and discuss his adventures in a persuasive and informative manner that helps others on their own journeys.
A Numerological InterpretationThe numerlogical significance of this name indicates qualities of leadership and drive. At times Patrick can be too stubborn for his own good, but he is determined and will not compromise himself. He is a proud man who does not easily accept help from others. Intensely sensuous, Patrick has no trouble attracting partners into his life. He is challenged, however, by commitments that require him to be deeply emotional and responsive. Thus Patrick may eventually alienate the person whom he wishes to be the closest. Once he learns to trust the open heart, this problem will fade away.
