Your first name of Erdie has given you a quick, analytical mind. Also, you must guard against using indulgence as an escape. This name creates a desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative endeavours that provide an outlet for your versatility and imagination. Competitive sports or challenging outdoor activities could bring you pleasure and relief from pent-up frustrations. 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. Your self-sufficient and self-reliant nature gave you the urge to leave home early in life to be free from parental restraint, and to establish your independence and freedom from tradition. 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. Although you are not demonstrative of your feelings in family relationships, you maintain a strong sense of loyalty. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering. 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.
