Your first name of Martel gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life. In school you needed to be challenged, otherwise you could lose interest and stop applying yourself to your studies. Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends. Although you are respected for your steadiness and analytic qualities, you are sometimes resented for what is perceived as bossiness or interference when you impose your will on others in your desire to help them resolve their problems. Being self-motivated and able to learn quickly allows you to succeed in many areas, whether inspirational or practical. You are not inclined to lose your head in a crisis and, even if you are insecure or uncertain at times, you present the image of being self-confident and unflappable. Your skills in dealing with people could readily elevate you into managerial positions. Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right. Unless you train yourself to take a relaxed, happy attitude toward life, you could suffer with mental turmoil. However, there is a tendency to be a little too independent in your thinking and it is difficult for you to accept the help of others when you should.
