Your name of Alcumena gives you independence and determination. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. You take life as it comes, learning as you go. You prefer the simple life and do not mind making do at times. Investigating and studying aspects of the universe or nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your pioneering qualities and your desire to seek your own answers to life. You express yourself in as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. The restrictions of this name cause you to suffer with either headaches, weak eyes, sinus problems, asthma, or heart conditions. Living much within your own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, you are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations.
