Traits of the Wiley family
Perky and friendly is how previous generations of the Wiley family can be described. The Wiley family have been linked to the planet Jupiter causing them to be energetic, imaginative and elusive. For them life is a play ground which must always be full of fresh motivation and continuous enjoyment. Changing horses in the middle of the stream is another small quirk in the Wiley personality which makes decision making, and sticking to a decision particularly difficult for them. They reflect every change in their own surroundings and can often become pessimistic and egocentric. Like children, they require constant attention, encouragement, and time, throwing tantrums if they dont get what they feel they deserve. There is a side to Wileys which can become deeply caring, and another, nervous and withdrawn. It has been known for members of this family to flee from a a possible romantic situation, quite often over analysing the potential. 97
