Your first name of Bateson has given you a desire for self-expression and for positions that allow contact with people, free from the restrictions and monotony into which you are often drawn. You are friendly by nature, but you cannot enjoy complete ease in association because of a difficulty in expressing yourself. You desire to be spontaneous and artistic but there are qualities in this name that restrict your imaginative, creative talents and make you deliberate and careful. You are easily reached through sympathy to help someone in need, and always rise to the occasion in an emergency. Family and home life are important as long as a routine does not become monotonous. However, despite the hurt, you do not tend to brood for long, as you want to be happy and optimistic. On occasion, you can be very fussy and particular over incidentals and, at other times, too scattering and inconsistent. In your personal relationships you thrive on encouragement and appreciation from others, and kindness goes a long way in bringing out your naturally cheerful disposition. This lack of fulfilment of your deeper qualities tends to create repression and frustration. An overheated bloodstream that throws off poisons through skin conditions such as boils, acne, or eczema could result.
