Your first name of Valerie has given you a friendly, likeable nature, and you could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression. Yours is a quick mind and you can usually think of something to say when there is a need to offset or deflect an unpleasant situation, sometimes finding it necessary to stretch the truth a little in the process. This sensitivity contributes to your variable nature. The qualities of your first name cause sensitivities in the nervous system which could affect your health. Any monotonous activities that require system and order, and concentration are delayed until you are forced to take action. Under stressful and intense situations, it is a challenge to you to maintain an even temperament as you are extreme in your feelings, optimistic and happy one moment, despondent and self-pitying the next. If given the training, you could excel in the self-expressive arts particularly in playing an instrument, in elocution, or in dancing. Unfortunately, these are times in your life when others are apt to take advantage of you because you find it difficult to say “no” especially if people have appealed to your sympathies. You have high goals and ideals, but must incorporate more practicality, system, and concentration in order to materialize them. After each experience, you have to guard against feelings of despondency and self-pity.
