LEO

Some people just like to keep things interesting – like this person. They’ve got a certain swagger in their step, and they’re the kind of person even other adults find themselves walking about with, nodding their heads with.

They’ve got natural leadership tendencies, can seem way older than they are, and can very much influence the group – and they like it that way. I wouldn’t say they’re a control freak, but they are deeply mistrustful of things that they are unfamiliar with (even though they are kind of  - KIND OF - open to experiences.). So they’ll be super-conservative, even old-world, old-school about some things that will be quite absurd, but completely okay about really crazy other things, just because they seem normal to them. (And they’re just as freakish as the things they flat-out reject.)

They’ve just not really thought about why they think the way they do – that’s the thing. And until they really encounter some people who can hold up a kind of reflection to their beliefs and ideas and show them how they look from the outside, they just won’t have to change. So if they do stay in the House for a while, they will have the unique experience of seeing their “normal beliefs from another perspective” – and they will begin to question their own conditioning.

That can be, and will be, profoundly confusing for them. So I expect to see moments of insight and expansion, followed by an immediate and very stubborn clinging to their world view. They have just never really had to deal with certain kinds of humans… many humans at all who are unlike themself.

They don’t think things outside their own experience are all that important – if they don’t help them, or affect them, why should they care? But in the House, they start to realise that they are responsible for and connected to a whole lot more than they ever thought – and that as they grow up, literally before our eyes, they sees that unless they start to make informed choices, having an influence on the world, they can’t just cruise along pretending their choices don’t matter. There is a good-hearted soul here, awaiting a kind of wake up call in the House – and when that call rings out loud, we’ll see a child transform into an adult, and then, over time, they’ll become, I hope, the truly fine being they have the potential to be.

Why they’re in the House: To grow into adulthood!
Why they’ll stay: Because watching a person realise things is fascinating.
Why they’ll go: They may hit a wall and not cope.
