Amber

Although the name Amber creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it frustrates you through a scattered and emotional nature.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and through worry and mental tension.

As Amber, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way.

You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times.

Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you.

In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents.

You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems.

Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem.
