Your first name of Valentin creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. A quick learner, you may be resented by those whose mental processes are slower, and be misjudged as a "know it all. This characteristic could make you rather unpopular with your associates. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. Although you are knowledgeable and intelligent, your sensitivity and restriction in expression often causes frustration and could limit the satisfaction and success that would otherwise be gained from your responsible and capable nature. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. For your interest to be retained you need to be mentally challenged; this was most evident when young and in school. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love.
