About
the name Valene, from www.kabalarians.com
Your
name of Valene creates an intense desire for association
with people and new experiences, many of which have been
rather bitter. This name has given you a gregarious personality
and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but
one that is unstable emotionally. You desire change and
travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to
be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform
to system and routine. However, this name does not allow
you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always
look greener. Although you may appear confident and positive,
you actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at
times. This name spoils patience and depth of thought, and
weakens your stand in matters of principle. You are too
open to suggestion, and thus you could become involved in
detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths
of thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence. Any weakness
in your health would appear in the fluid functions as kidney,
bladder, or circulatory problems. or in a sensitivity affecting
your stomach
