The name of Xuyou 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. 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 rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. As you are intuitive to the thoughts and feelings of others, you seldom experience the tranquility that comes with composed thinking and emotional control. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. When life becomes too routine and monotonous, you look for ways to create variety. You seldom express your deeper thoughts for fear of being ridiculed or your meaning misconstrued. You have a clever imagination and an ability to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through composition and poetry. 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.
