Your first name of Aretta has made you a sociable person who appreciates the beauties of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts. You can so thoroughly be absorbed in a novel that you do not hear what is going on around you. You may appear reserved and aloof, but you seek love and tenderness. You value the beauty and peace experienced while outdoors away from crowds or the pressures of life. You always wonder if you are doing the right thing, desiring to express yourself but afraid to. Many times, you feel misunderstood because not even your closest friends really know you. You have great imagination and it is not difficult for you to be a part of the story. Lacking confidence, you tend to depreciate your own value and ability, yet you could excel in creative writing or design as an outlet for your imaginative, poetic qualities. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do. Under stressful conditions, you may experience tension in the solar plexus area.
