Connecting the dots...
Leo 7 is the 2nd symbol in the five fold pattern Leo 6-10. As a 2nd symbol, it brings an awareness of something that had not ben considered in the initial series symbol.
Leo 6 "An old-fashioned woman and a flapper" suggest a striking breach between old convention and cutting edge style and manner.
By the way, Marc Edmund Jones changed the original symbol to read "An old-fashioned woman and an up-to-date girl" We can appreciate the point... a 'flapper' is a specific cultural and historical reference, perhaps one with which not everyone is familiar. But the play on the word 'flap' are worth it and the kind of style change represented by the flapper are also worth keeping.
Once again, i suggest staying with the original wording.
Here in leo 7, we might imagine a young flapper starting to realize that she is not that different from the old-fashioned woman. Perhaps the flapper is aging and therefore coming to appreciate things more conservative. perhaps she realizes that her grand mother also defied the prevailing style codes when she was young. Perhaps she appreciates an ancient story re-enacted over and over again throughout human history... one projected, and/or gleaned from the patterns seen in the constellated stars above.
Every time you try to start a whole new philosophy of life, it turns out some recluse back in the fourth century AD writing by oil lamp in a run-down mountain shack, beat you to it.
