Traits of the Winnell family

The Winnell family have been linked to the planet Saturn causing them to be knowledgable, imaginative and elusive. They take up new activities reguarly but lack focus, constantly needing new interests. Moving from one interest to another as apparently purposelessly as a bumble bee buzzing around. Switching horses in the middle of the race is another small quirk in the Winnell personality which makes decision making, and carrying through a decision difficult. They refract changes in their own surroundings and can often become over optimistic and materialistically self-centered. It is often seen for members of this family to turndown a a possible romantic situation, quite often over looking the potential. 100
