The name of Rud 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 have a clever imagination and an ability to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through composition and poetry. You are sympathetic to the needs of others and generous in your aspirations to help people. You desire happiness, love, and understanding. At times, you are very inspired, desiring to be with people and to entertain others as the "life of the party," while at other times you are aloof and choose to remove yourself entirely from association. You wonder about their origin. You must fight against self-consciousness and insecurity. When life becomes too routine and monotonous, you look for ways to create variety. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.
