who is like God, like God (Heb.).

This name was borne by one of the archangels. Archangels, the fourth of which was Michael, according to the classification of angels set out in the work of Dionysius the Areopagite "On the Heavenly Hierarchy", were called carriers of the second rank in the third, lowest face of the angelic hierarchy (1st rank - angels, 2nd - archangels, 3- i - start). The book of Enoch indicates that the archangel Michael was the head of the Israeli people, their patron.

name energy

In terms of sound energy, this name is quite light and quiet, although it ends on a rather low note, giving the word some solidity and even rigor. It is not for nothing that in Russia it became the nickname of a bear - Mikhailo Potapych. On the other hand, behind his silence, one can discern a clearly expressed mobility, and even impetuosity. Of course, the impact of a name on a person in this case noticeably smoothed, and this is due to the fact that today this name is very common; nevertheless, it still largely determines the nature of its carrier.

Most often, from childhood, Misha manifests such traits as mobility, curiosity, gambling in children's games. It is unlikely that his interest will focus on any one subject, rather, he will be attracted to a wide variety of activities: from all kinds of hobbies and hobbies to interest in school subjects. Much here will be determined by the influence of parents and the environment where Misha grows up. At the same time, his mobility is usually balanced, which makes him a rather obedient child, whose whims rarely bother parents too much. In general, the name inclines him to good nature, but it often endows its owner with a fair amount of touchiness. Sometimes resentment reaches such strength that Misha can dissolve his hands, which he soon begins to regret and feel guilty about.

In adulthood, Mikhail's mobility is replaced by calm poise, in the family he is usually a good owner, at work he is a neat and diligent hard worker, but resentment can remain inherent in him throughout his life. This is an essential point. First, it testifies to Michael's considerable pride. Secondly, resentment can seriously complicate his life and prevent the fulfillment of many life plans.

It is very important to remember that often resentment is not compatible with ambitious aspirations, if a person has set high goals for himself, he must be ready for the resistance of others and even their opposition. This is an objective law of psychology, and it is not so smart to be offended by it. It is interesting that many Mikhails overcome this resistance with the help of a sense of humor, often bordering on caustic irony. Most people are defenseless against such weapons, and therefore it is useful that these qualities are sufficiently developed in Misha, it is not for nothing that today there are so many satirists and humorists among the Mikhails. However, even here you need to know the measure, otherwise you can make yourself a great many secret enemies, which are much more dangerous than open ones. The most optimal thing for Mikhail is to rid his self-esteem of morbidity, which can be done with the help of simple faith in yourself and the ability to see behind the shortcomings of people not malicious intent, but misunderstandings, and not only strangers, but also your own.

The trace of a name in history

About the French soothsayer Michel Nostradamus(1503-1566) tell many different stories and legends, some of which look like anecdotes. So, they say that one day, when Nostradamus was sitting at his house, the pretty daughter of his neighbor passed by, heading into the forest for brushwood.

“Good afternoon, monsieur,” she said.

“Good afternoon, girl,” Nostradamus answered her.

An hour later she returned home with a bundle of brush on her shoulder.

“Good afternoon, monsieur,” she greeted again.

“Good afternoon… little woman,” came the reply.

It is difficult to argue with the statement that it was Michael (Michel) Nostradamus (1503–1566) who was not only the most mysterious, but also the most famous figure among the many predictors of the whole world, whose personality was so overgrown with legends, conjectures, and somewhere pure water fantasies that after five centuries it is no longer so easy to separate fact from fiction. Nevertheless, much about Nostradamus can be said for sure. So, there is no doubt that he was one of the most educated people of his time, perfectly familiar with medicine, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy and knowing several languages.

A passionate, witty man who loved to eat well (a cookbook is also included in the number of Nostradamus's works), he very little resembled that image of a gloomy hermit, which today is often associated with his name. Having barely graduated from university and received a doctor's license, Nostradamus threw himself into the thick of things, directing all his energy to fight the plague - the real curse of France. And it was he, with his knowledge and extraordinary intuition, who managed to do the impossible: he managed to stop the plague epidemics in several large cities.

Later in his life it was all over the edge - and love (in total, in two marriages, Nostradamus became the father of nine children), and death, and fame, and wanderings. Nostradamus' first wife and two of his children died of the plague; then the Inquisition showed keen interest in him, forcing him to flee his native country, then he returned to France and at the age of 45 - a new marriage ... It is difficult to say at what exact moment the laconic inscription "Prophet" appeared on the pages of Michel de Notre Dame's Book of Fate . It is only known that until the end of his life, Nostradamus considered himself a conductor of some divine Force, who wished to inform people about the events of the future through him.

One way or another, but with the death of the soothsayer, his real life has just begun. Even now, five centuries later, ten verse "Centuries" ("Centuries"), written by him in encrypted form, excite and capture, as if promising to open an invisible curtain that separates us from tomorrow. And where the Mystery lives, there is no place for oblivion and indifference, and therefore who knows how many more centuries or millennia people will remember the name of Michel Nostradamus?

Already in childhood, one should prevent the development of despotic traits in the character of the growing Misha and cultivate tolerance for others in him, which in the future will save him from tough clashes with people who have an equally uncompromising disposition. It is very important to relieve the young man's self-esteem from pain, teach him to believe in himself and look at life with a little irony.

Health

If Mikhail does not destroy his health with alcohol and smoking, then he will have it truly heroic. He is strong and hardy, can engage in heavy physical labor. With age, problems with the cardiovascular system and blood circulation can occur.

Sexuality

Mikhail learns the intimate side of life rather late, much later than his peers. It often happens that his first sexual partner is his wife, and it is with her that he learns to learn all the secrets of intimate life.

Michael tends to idealize a woman, especially in his younger years. However, in love games, he is rather cold and reserved, he is not characterized by violent sexuality. His sexual needs are quite moderate. A man's caresses are always a bit rough, sometimes painful. However, he himself does not accept rudeness and vulgarity in a woman, he likes gentle and compliant partners. In addition, Mikhail is squeamish and jealous, therefore he does not approve of casual relationships.

The features of female psychology are of little concern to a man, so it is difficult to call him a romantic person who knows how to beautifully look after his chosen one. Michael considers his coldness and restraint to be normal.

Marriage and family, compatibility

By nature, Mikhail is monogamous, therefore he enters into marriage once - remarriage is rare for him. He gives preference to feminine and non-conflict girls, rudeness and flashy sexuality repels him. He considers treason to be a low and unworthy act.

Mikhail will spare no time or effort for his family. The family for him is a real fortress, an outlet and a guarantee of spiritual well-being. Quarrels and conflicts in his house will be rare, as he easily compromises, shows patience and correctness. But his wife should know that Mikhail is very jealous, he will not tolerate any competition.

Mikhail is a homely, caring and loves his children very much, and therefore he will be a wonderful family man. Divorce will be a real collapse for a man, and he will try his best to avoid it.

The most successful marriage is possible with women named Alexandra, Anna, Alina, Vera, Elena, Elizabeth, Lydia, Marina and Christina. Relationships with Oksana, Olga, Yana, Antonina, Maria and Anastasia should be avoided.

Business and profession

In the professional field, Mikhail is best suited for work related to organization and analysis. He will make an excellent engineer, programmer, architect, builder or lawyer. There are a lot of creatively gifted personalities among Mikhailov, so here he can achieve great success.

The employer will appreciate Mikhail for accuracy, diligence and responsibility. He will approach any business with his characteristic scrupulousness and self-discipline, but for a leadership position he will lack diplomacy and exactingness.

A man quickly navigates in an unfamiliar environment, easily finds mutual language with colleagues. He perceives criticism painfully, as well as defeats.

Own business will bring Mikhail not only material, but also moral satisfaction. He has every chance to become a successful businessman. He perceives his business not as a job, but as his brainchild, to which he is ready to devote himself without a trace. He knows how to get out of difficult situations with dignity, without letting other people down and not taking advantage of someone else's weakness. Michael can even relate to successes, but failures hurt him painfully.

Little Mishutka is good-natured and gentle, so it is very easy to offend him, and in a fit of anger he ceases to control himself, so his offender can be great to hit. When Misha "cools down", he will regret his act.

Even as a child, Mikhail is responsible and diligent, he tries to do everything perfectly, while he does not expect the praise of his parents and recognition of his authority among his peers. Such perfectionism is an inner need of the boy.

Often, Michael's vulnerability and good nature are mistaken for weakness of character, but this is not at all the case. If his interests are affected, he will show perseverance, inflexibility and rigidity.

In general, little Misha is a kind, calm, sociable, intelligent, but at the same time somewhat reserved child, requiring increased attention from his parents.

For teenager

On the contrary, he is quick-witted, good-natured and sympathetic, so Mikhail's friends and acquaintances can always count on his help. But you should not wake up the "beast" in the owner of this name, otherwise you will have to keep the defense, defending yourself from the raging Misha.

Young Mikhail is the soul of the company (he generally does not tolerate loneliness). However, he often allows himself to interfere in the affairs of others without demand and need, while he does not accept criticism.

At school and university, Mikhail shows extraordinary abilities, and all thanks to his logical mindset and excellent memory. He tries hard to study, which he does very well.

The thoroughness, poise, independence, seriousness and practicality of Mikhail attract smart, well-mannered and intelligent friends to him, whom he eventually tries to subordinate to his will.

Mikhail is extremely sensitive to any injustice, therefore he always takes the side of the weak and offended, although he makes friendship only with strong and authoritative peers.

For a man

With age, Mikhail's activity is replaced by poise and measuredness, although he still cannot get rid of touchiness. As a result, wounded pride, backed up by resentment, can cause many troubles in Misha's life.

Despite his strong-willed and strong character, Mikhail is sentimental and sensitive, therefore he is characterized by a concentration of attention on his experiences, which can interfere with the implementation of life plans.

It is always easy and pleasant to communicate with Mikhail, generous and attentive to the problems of those around him, so he has many friends.

However, one should not expect beautiful courtship and romantic deeds from this man, since Mikhail considers such behavior childish (and he will not waste his time on a candy-bouquet period). The maximum that his chosen one can count on is a bouquet of flowers (and, as they say, "on holidays"). And in general - Mikhail is courting rather clumsily, but always sincerely.

Marriage

For Mikhail, marriage is a very serious decision, which he takes seriously, weighing everything possible advantages and cons of such a step. And this is not surprising, because he is monogamous, so marriage most often happens once.

He gives preference to kind, soft, easy-going and non-conflict women, while rudeness only repels him. Important to Michael is sexual compatibility with his wife, since he considers betrayal a low and unworthy act of a real man.

But! Michael makes rather high demands on his wife. So, his chosen one should be an excellent hostess, a kind mother, an attentive wife and an interesting companion.

It is common for Mikhail to idealize women, whom he considers defenseless and weak creatures in need of his support.

Family relationships

The only thing that can break this idyll is the jealousy inherent in Mikhail, so his soulmate must do everything so that this feeling does not settle in the soul of the vulnerable Misha.

Sexuality

Sensual Mikhail, despite his temperament, selectively approaches the choice of a sexual partner, since high moral principles do not allow him to start light and non-committal novels.

Often, the straightforwardness and assertiveness of Misha, who can hardly be called a skilled seducer, frighten and repel women, which hurts him painfully. The features of female psychology are of little interest to him, therefore he considers his coldness and restraint in an intimate sense to be normal.

To reveal his sexual potential, Mikhail needs an affectionate, gentle, but at the same time active and strong-willed partner, with whom he can forget that he is a protector and earner.

In general, from intimate relationships Michael does not make a cult, on the contrary, for him spiritual unity is more important than physical one.

Mind (intelligence)

Mikhail can hardly be called an emotional and impulsive person, because when making any decisions, he uses his analytical mind and iron logic. He never makes rash decisions and tries to avoid risky ventures.

Profession

Mikhail is an enviable worker in all respects, because he is assertive, responsible, scrupulous, hardworking, disciplined and tactful. He is always attentive and fair to his colleagues and subordinates, although he often lacks diplomacy to resolve certain issues.

Mikhail enjoys well-deserved respect from colleagues and superiors, his opinion is always authoritative and independent.

Mikhail will fully prove himself in a profession related to organizational work or analysis. Judgment, poise and a sharp mind will help him achieve great success as an engineer, programmer, mathematician, researcher, business manager, architect, lawyer, bank employee or physician.

Michael works to achieve a specific goal, he will not waste his strength on illusory discoveries and perspectives.

Business

Mikhail's business is always clearly organized and planned, since the owner of this name does not like surprises and surprises, especially if they are related to work. He prefers to independently build his personal business, which brings him not only material well-being, but also moral satisfaction.

Mikhail lives in his business, in which he puts his soul, so it is quite natural that his business is growing and prospering from year to year.

Hobbies

I must say that Mikhail's hobbies are simple and unassuming. Moreover, they are not peculiar to men (especially with such a strong-willed and strong character, like Mikhail). So, he gets real pleasure from arranging his own garden and personal plot, from communicating with animals, of which Misha can have several.

Originally masculine types of recreation are not alien to him, for example, fishing or relaxing in a cheerful and friendly company.

Character type

Psyche

Men named Mikhail are overly subjective and straightforward, therefore they do not know how and do not want to take the point of view of another person, which can interfere with building a career in particular and communicating with people in general.

Such qualities of Misha's character as pride and pride can also repel others. Of course, these characteristics help him achieve a lot in life, but the open manifestation of his superiority over others is fraught with loneliness, which Mikhail, who is naturally closed, tries to avoid in every possible way.

But still, one should not make Michael an anti-hero, because he is kind, sympathetic, attentive and fair to people. His sparkling sense of humor energizes those around him, while Misha himself struggles with stress and depression in a similar way. In addition, he can “put his offenders and ill-wishers in their place” with a word, thereby avoiding violent showdowns.

In general, behind external confidence lies a sensitive and vulnerable soul, which Mikhail does not reveal to anyone, considering such behavior a manifestation of weakness.

Intuition

Mikhail has a well-developed intuition, but he does not always listen to it, preferring to act according to logical laws.

Michaels are great fellows in terms of work. Often, only on them the whole project rests. They approach the work very responsibly, but in other things - they approach everything so well. In personal relationships, it can be difficult with Mikhails, all because of jealousy, sometimes unreasonable.

Yaroslav 15.04.2016

Oh, you won't expect an impulsive decision from Mikhail. First, he will think everything over, up and down, and then already ... But, if he nevertheless decided, that's the point. You can't knock him out of the way! This applies to everything, both work and personal relationships. It is almost impossible to return him if he himself broke off the relationship.
