The name of Val creates a shrewd, aggressive, business nature, intent on personal gain. There is a need to project yourself as a person of worth and expensive tastes, and you judge others on the same basis. However, you do have an aptitude for assessing the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of others, which would enable you to build and lead a successful team. Your judgment is seldom swayed through your feelings. Your strong leadership qualities would cause you to feel dissatisfied in a subservient position where you are required to follow orders, unless it is a short-term situation leading to greater authority and independence. Appearances and status are important to you. Misunderstandings can arise. The desires for independence and financial success have been strong motivating forces from early in your life. If you sacrifice too much for material ambition, there may result a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life. More congenial business and personal relationships would result from being more tactful and more aware of the needs of others.
