Your first name of Penelape has made you a sociable person who appreciates the beauties of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts. Many times, you feel misunderstood because not even your closest friends really know you. Under just the right circumstances, you can be very dramatic. At times, there is a decidedly independent and determined side to your nature in coping with people; however, you dislike to witness hurt feelings and will avoid issues. You can so thoroughly be absorbed in a novel that you do not hear what is going on around you. If someone misrepresents you or makes a joke out of something important to you, you withdraw and use silence as a method of making the person aware of the inappropriate comments. When you experience friendship and support from others, you feel better about yourself. You value the beauty and peace experienced while outdoors away from crowds or the pressures of life. Under stressful conditions, you may experience tension in the solar plexus area. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do.
