Your first name of Absalon gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. You could be inventive and creative along practical lines. Your thinking revolves around business and ways of making money, rather than on music, art, drama, or philosophy. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. You have leadership skills inasmuch as you see what is required to run an organization and where human resources would be best suited; however, your dogmatic approach in directing people can create resentment and antagonism, and undermine progress in getting tasks completed. Little gestures are not important to you, and you are prone to overlook acts of affection and kindnesses offered by others, and fail to show appreciation where it is warranted. You tend to feel very frustrated in being unable to realize your ambitions fully. Although you are staunch and loyal, your lack of awareness of the needs of others, combined with your blunt and candid expression, can create hurt feelings that lead to conflict and unhappiness in relationships. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection. You would be a firm parent and your children would be well-disciplined, but you would find it difficult to get close to them and to show compassion and affection.
