Your first name of Valerie gives you a highly sensitive, idealistic, and intuitive nature. You want very much for everyone to be happy and friendly. This sensitivity contributes to your variable nature, and can lead to uncontrolled, disturbing thoughts. The qualities of this name cause sensitivities in the nervous system that could affect your health. Any monotonous activities that require system, order, and concentration are delayed until you are forced to take action. You must guard against outbursts of temper. If given the training, you could excel in creative self-expression, particularly in playing an instrument, in speech arts, or in dancing. Being sensitive and idealistic, you thrive on encouragement and appreciation. Moods are a problem as you can be highly inspired one minute, and the next become quite irritated and annoyed over some ill-timed remark or lack of consideration on the part of someone close to you. Others are inclined to take advantage of your generosity and friendliness and then, when there is a lack of reciprocation, you can feel despondent and disillusioned.
