Your name of Alverna makes you independent, self-reliant, and determined. You are earnest and studious, but can be stubborn and fixed in your ideas and opinions. Laughter and light pleasantries are suppressed by this name. The crashing of waves against the shore, mountain peaks silhouetted against a dusky sky, are surroundings that help you to experience peace and contentment. You crave affection and understanding, but rarely find it as others do not understand you and accuse you of being cool and aloof. You have a deep regard for nature, its mathematical precision and magnificence. Difficulty in expression results in your being too positive, blunt, and candid in speech and although you are easily offended by others, you do not show it. You desire affection and understanding but often leave the impression that you want to be left alone. The insecurity you experience from limited verbal expression and social ease results in a jealous possessiveness and suffering through frustration, repressed emotion, and self-consciousness. There could also be a sensitivity in the heart and respiratory organs.
