Your name of Alystair has made you good-natured, friendly, and kind. Home and family are important to you, and you could be a good parent because of your gentle, attentive ways. Although not an aggressive person, you are earnest in carrying out your responsibilities. Your quickness of mind and considerate manner put others at ease as you turn aside contentious issues. You tend to avoid issues, however, and put off until tomorrow decisions that should be made today. As you appreciate the pleasures of life, discipline and self-restraint are challenges for you. Even though you have many admirable qualities, you need initiative, self-confidence, and ambition. Frequently you put off decisions and tasks until forced to take action. Others can, at times, take advantage of your gentle nature. Because of your evenness of temperament you are generally healthy, although any weakness could show in the fluid functions of your body through a tendency towards swelling of the legs and feet, varicose veins later in life, or kidney or bladder sensitivity.
