Your first name of Ludger has made you practical, systematic, and thorough. Being self-sufficient, you must remember that thoughtful expressions of affection toward those close to you are important. Because of its matter-of-fact influence, this name limits, to some degree, your ability to be flexible and spontaneous. You work hard to provide a good standard of living for those in your care. You see the practical side of situations and tend to deal with problems in an objective, sensible, and systematic way. An inclination to be overly cautious and serious could make you pessimistic and lacking in humour. Being undemonstrative or unaware of the more subtle needs of others can be a source of friction with those close to you, especially if they are more sensitive or crave thoughtful expressions of affection. Particular about your material possessions, you budget frugally, buy quality, and value and look after what you own. You express your appreciation for others by what you do for them rather than by what you say. Your interests and hobbies are generally along practical, technical, or scientific lines.
