The name of Boliva 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. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. 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. You desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. In your quest for answers you may become drawn into religions or the occult. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. Because you tend to place great importance on little gestures and nuances, both in your own expression and in others' communication with you, it is easy for you to misconstrue another's intent and take too personally what is not meant to hurt. You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension.
