Your first name of Basten creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. You are sensitive to harmony or discord in the home and workplace, and intuitive to how you are regarded by others. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. You work best on your own in fields such as with the products of the earth, real estate, or computer sciences, as long as you have the freedom to make your own decisions. You have a sensitive nature--sensitive to your environment and particularly sensitive to how your deeper and more serious interests are regarded by others. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature. Moods, which are your worst enemy, result.
