The name of Mercier creates a shrewd, aggressive, business nature, intent on personal gain. Your judgment is seldom swayed through your feelings. Misunderstandings can arise. As a result, you have been willing to work hard for long hours to attain the level of success that you are seeking. The desire for independence and financial success has been a strong motivating force from early in your life. You are not deterred by executive responsibility and the burden of decision making. Circumstances requiring the expression of sympathy, encouragement, or appreciation cause you to feel awkward and at a loss for words. Your circle of friends is drawn from those who share your straightforward, positive manner and materialistic goals, and you are loyal and steadfast once your relationships are established. If you sacrifice too much for material ambition, there may result a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life. Indulgence would aggravate any health problems.
