Your first name of Emden has given you a quick, analytical mind. Once you have given your word and undertaken a commitment, you are completely steadfast in following through in spite of any regret or frustration you may later experience in doing so. Family and friends find it hard to understand you because of your changing moods, and because of your intolerance and indifference towards their ideas, interests, and feelings. However, independence, positivity and the urge for action and progress are such strong forces in your nature that you find it difficult to control them. Also, you must guard against using indulgence as an escape. You are happy and in good spirits as long as headway is being made, but as soon as you feel obstructed or your individuality and freedom of action are curtailed, you experience an intense nervous reaction in your solar plexus. Your nervous intensity could cause indigestion and, over time, could lead to ulcers and severe stomach problems. At the best of times, you are not naturally disposed to be companionable and sociable, as diplomacy and finding the right words for the situation do not come easily to you. In order to gain greater congeniality in your personal associations, you need to cultivate a more relaxed manner, greater generosity, understanding, and tolerance, and, above all, you need to avoid being too outspoken and self-opinionated. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering.
