Penelope comes from Greek and is traditionally linked to weaving, drawn from a figure known for her patient loyalty while waiting years for her husband's return. The name is often read as embodying steady faithfulness and quiet resourcefulness -- patience treated as active endurance rather than passive waiting.
The lord of the second house hath the same strength in hurting, as the lord of the eighth; the lord of the sixth, the same with the lord of the twelfth. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
