The name of Atraba has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. When you feel understood, you tend to show your affection for others through acts of consideration. You have many wonderful ideas and plans but fail to initiate action because of lack of confidence. You dream of romance, but you have experienced heartache because of your idealistic qualities. Sometimes it is difficult for you to face life’s realities with their hardships, stress, and turmoil and you often find yourself combating fears of the future and the aspects of life that appear mysterious. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. When life becomes too routine and monotonous, you look for ways to create variety. You wonder about their origin. You are fond of sugars, starches, and sours and, depending on how often you eat these foods, you could be subject to such conditions as eczema or arthritis. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
