Your first name of Bernadine has given you a friendly, likeable nature, and you could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression. If given the training, you could excel in the self-expressive arts particularly in playing an instrument, in elocution, or in dancing. Though you always have the best of intentions and dislike facing issues, procrastination could be your worst enemy. You have many disappointments because of extending a helping hand to others in need, and then not receiving any acknowledgement or reciprocation for your generosity. 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. You do not like to stand alone. As you often experience difficulty making decisions, you appreciate the encouragement of others to give you the support and confidence necessary to follow through on your decisions. The qualities of your first name cause sensitivities in the nervous system which could affect your health. After each experience, you have to guard against feelings of despondency and self-pity. You have high goals and ideals, but must incorporate more practicality, system, and concentration in order to materialize them.
