The name of Tulips 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. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. You can be acutely hurt by unkind comments and it is at such times that you withdraw into your own world of thought. You seldom express your deeper thoughts for fear of being ridiculed or your meaning misconstrued. 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 sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at some of your thoughts and visions. There are times when you are outgoing and cosmopolitan, and other times when you become reflective and aloof, drawing away from association with others. As you are intuitive to the thoughts and feelings of others, you seldom experience the tranquility that comes with composed thinking and emotional control. 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 have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.
