The name of Abelard gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Whatever you choose, you invariably prefer to work on your own. Although self-conscious in front of people, when you put on a costume you could excel at performing arts, even to the point where you lose a sense of reality. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. You could excel in mathematics or science or other fields that require extreme focus and concentration, or you could be drawn to working with the products of the earth. You desire refinement and are easily offended by coarse humour or bad manners. Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. This conflict will have a toll on your health and could show in weaknesses in your heart, lungs, and bronchial organs. Outwardly you often appear calm and in control, while inwardly you are experiencing turmoil and tension.
