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.
When the Moon and lord of the ascendant shall be impedited by the lord of the 8th, the sick person hath cause to fear. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
