Your first name of Paterson has given you a generous nature. As a child you were expressive. You do not like to be unhappy, yet you do experience changing moods—optimistic one moment and in despair the next, perhaps giving way to temper and intolerance. It is bothersome for you to apply system, order, and discipline, as you prefer to act spontaneously. Your desire to help people could take you into service industries in any position where others are benefitting from your actions. You love deeply and must guard against possessiveness and jealousy, and resultant losses in the affections. You enjoy socializing and making others happy. You will do you utmost to help others in need, despite inconvenience to yourself. The name does not engender emotional stability; nor have you the system and order in your thinking always to finish what you start. Scattering of efforts interferes with success in your undertakings.
