The name of Oates creates a happy, versatile, and expressive nature, with good business judgment and a fine sense of responsibility, which should enable you to establish congenial relationships in positions of trust where you are dealing with the public. With discipline you could be systematic and orderly; but you tend to be scattering in your thinking and habits, starting many activities that you do not finish, and putting off those jobs that require attention to detail, like budgeting. A zest for living and a buoyant, outgoing perspective keep you young in mind and body. You are not technically or mathematically inclined, unless other influences indicate interest along these lines. Your versatility, quickness of mind, and self-expression, however, carry you through many troublesome situations. You make others happy through acts of generosity, a sense of humour, and your natural affectionate, occasionally flirtatious nature. Those responsibilities are often handled in a rush at the last moment. There are times when you are too easily influenced through the emotions which overwhelm your reasoning powers. You have a healthy appetite, and are fond of sweets and starchy foods. Although this name is well balanced, if it is combined with a surname that is not harmonious, you would tend to worry and find it difficult to organize your efforts.
