Your name of Nola gives you a clever, analytical mind, and causes you to be studious and serious, drawn to the deeper secrets of life. Although you are not overly expressive verbally, you could excel at literary and artistic pursuits. You have a dignified manner and a high regard for standards of speech and conduct. You sense there is much that cannot be understood by the five senses. It takes a confident person to read from your quiet thoughtful gestures that he or she is held in high regard. Also, tensions can arise with those close to you because of your tendency to be secretive with your own thoughts and plans, yet at times interfering in the affairs of others. Others may misjudge your reserve as lack of interest or affection and, as a result, feel excluded and insecure. In the business world, your reserve and outward placidity command respect for your authority. Tensions due to responsibilities or discordant conditions in your home or business affairs may cause worry and mental turmoil. As it is not easy for you to share your deeper thoughts and ideals with others, you are inclined to choose the association of those few friends with whom you feel the most at ease and with whom you can enjoy companionship in a contemplative mood without feeling pressure for verbal communication.
