The name of Pictrus has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. In your personal relationships, self-consciousness and a fear of your deeper thoughts and feelings being misunderstood or belittled inhibit spontaneous verbal expression. When the mood suits you, you can be engaging and entertaining in a social situation, but you can swing unpredictably at the slightest offence, real or imagined, into a chilling silence that rebuffs others. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. Family, friends, and business associates often find you to be uncommunicative and secretive. An element of variety and spontaneity is essential to maintain your interest and enthusiasm. Otherwise, the humdrum tedium of a daily work routine and competitive pressures would result in frustration and inner turmoil. There would be a risk that uncontrolled, morbid thoughts could undermine your mental stability, causing extreme worry and irrational behaviour. Depletion of your energy through emotional excess would create a craving for rich, quick-energy foods that can affect the skin through rashes or eczema, and aggravate any liver problems. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire.
