The name of Batume has given you a strong desire for success and all the amenities of affluence. You pursue your undertakings on a grand scale, based on your business acumen and ability to visualize an overall plan. There are times when you would be advised to start in a smaller way, and gradually reach your desired level of success through perseverance, patience, and attention to details. Because of the materialistic world in which we live, however, your urge to be competitive could be a strong distraction from your higher humanitarian ideals. Much of your success is due to enthusiasm, optimism, and salesmanship but, if the foundation is not strong, your big ideas might not materialize and would cause you to become bitter. You tend to specialize, are creative and clever, and take pride in your work. If you have over estimated your resources and find you cannot fulfil your promises, you may resort to imaginative schemes rather than to admit failure. As long as everything is going your way, you are spontaneous, good natured, and generous, although success could also tend to make you arrogant and boastful. You are inclined to demonstrate your love for those in your care by striving to provide financial security, but fall short in expressing appreciation through the little thoughtful gestures that mean so much in building relationships, especially with those who are more inspirational. Should you become too inwardly focussed on your own world of personal relationships or material possessions, you could suffer disappointments with those close to you, unfulfilled ideals, or material losses.
