The name of Avena gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. Although self-conscious in front of people, when you put on a costume you could excel at performing arts, even to the point where you lose a sense of reality. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. In your quest for answers you may become drawn into religions or the occult. Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals or your true appreciation for those you love. You are sensitive about your idealistic thoughts, and an unappreciative person can hurt you and cause you to become secretive about that which you value deeply. This conflict will have a toll on your health and could show in weaknesses in your heart, lungs, and bronchial organs. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent.
