Your name of Peridot has made you good-natured, friendly, and kind. You are good natured and affectionate and enjoy home and family life. However, you may worry over decisions concerning both yourself and others. When you are needed and appreciated, you sense a security that builds your confidence. You could be successful in public office diligently looking after the rights of others. As diplomacy is one of your strong points, people like you at first meeting and you make friends easily. Your quickness of mind and considerate manner put others at ease as you turn aside contentious issues. Even though you have many admirable qualities, you need initiative, self-confidence, and ambition. Your inclination is to pursue a line of work where you carry some level of responsibility and diplomacy is required in contact with people. 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.
