Lovely first horoscopes!! I love the obvious intense symbolism and ideology behind this, and the numerous lens of analysis that can be applied to it!! I noticed lots of Penny’s music has some connection to mathematics, and I wanted to note some of the interesting math perspectives you could have on the NPZ as a math major :)
I think the decision to represent NPZ with a circle remind me of sinusoidal curves - if you choose to see you primary as the maxima of a sinusoidal curves, then your complement would be the same over an inverse, or reflected similar to the NPZ, and your mirrors sit on the horizon between positive and negative, and perhaps help you transition between the two states, while your neighbors exist in the same sign as you.
From a number theory perspective too, I find the choice of 8 interesting - the concept of perfect numbers is, in my opinion, a system of conception made by humans ( a perfect numbers is one in which the sum of its proper factors is equal to that number). 8 is not a perfect numbers, but rather deficient by 1, (8 has proper factors 1,2, and 4 and 1+2+4=7 , one off of 8). I see this as signifying how as useful as structures are, they will always fail at capturing the world.
As someone with a love of spiritual categorizations this is exactly my jam!!!! Please tell me you are going to do more horoscopes I loved listening to this while cleaning!
Hey Penelope! I don’t expect you to read this but if you do that would be great. I just want you to know that you’re amazing and I adore your work! I know this comment isn’t very relevant to the podcast, but thank you for existing and being awesome and everything. Your music has helped me through so much difficult stuff, and although I’m a bit of a new fan, I have already fallen in love with your work! Sorry that this is off topic to the podcast but yeah! Thank you and keep being you :3 your awesome!! You’re a massive, massive, MASSIVEEEE inspo to me and I’m currently saving up to buy one of your album vinyls :3. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AMAZINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
I found the Water Dogs Philosophy Journal announcement on the honeymorello website, and I'm so very worried about my submission. I've done excess amount of research on what I want to talk about, made multiple bullet points and outlines, but I can't bring myself to actually start writing it. I'm a very perfectionist writer(OCD, ugh) and have never really written about philosophy before. Any advice on how to write about something that's so based on one's own perspective and beliefs while still relating to others? (Not-seal btw if that helps somehow)
The WDPJ project is so new and undefined at this point, nobody knows what they're doing yet! You certainly shouldn't feel pressured to write a certain thing in a certain way. WDPJ has received various submissions already with various tones and styles, some very playful and others very precise. It sounds like you have something serious to say, and I hope that WDPJ will get a submission from you :)
I really enjoy the symbolic and thematic ideas being conveyed in the NPZ, but I unfortunately didn’t have the opportunity to send in a question. Will you be doing more of these NPZ horoscope QNA sessions in the future? (no worries if not ofc, just wanna make sure it’s still okay to send in a question)
I do plan to do more! I might do the next one towards the end of Spirit season (early April - mid May). I’ll adjust depending on how many people write in, but this time I was able to answer every question I got.
“Are you really a scientist or atheist or white or a man?” Really clever reference to your song rat❣️ I love how you focus on every single detail in everything you create. Keep creating, I luv u
unrelated, but i want to send something to the wdpj, is there still time? I meant to send in a submission a month or 2 ago but the friend im doing the project with only has so much free time out of school (non at all lol) so its taking lotttts longer than i want to and im getting a bit stressed out with it. I know i probably still have plenty of time, but if you responded/nf, it probably would help ease my anxiety.
I have a question about the NPZ dates for assigned base zodiacs. Since the zodiacs begin on midnight of the first of January, is there a specific date cutoff for the different zodiacs? Or is it a more arbitrary and continuous gradient? My curiosity and interest in this subject has peaked as of recently. For example, one of your responses was to someone born in late January and they are a seal; They are the 4th sign yet are within the late of the 6th month. This makes me believe the dates are conformed from 1 month per sign to 1.5 months per sign, but then how would this be conformed to the different number of days per month and so on? Is there any solid rigidity to this assignment? (I do understand that it is just the base assignment though) Thank you so much for this all Penny, if you respond it would be a very happy moment as you are one of if not my favorite artist, again thank you and have a lovely day/night! :-)
I don't know which one i am unfortunately. But i was wondering if you could tell me A what my sign is (march 31) and B how do i know weather i should let someone go, keep them, resolve the conflict or try to forget it all together??
i just think building a concept album around a constructed esoteric framework is super cool! i have further thoughts about the new pinniped zodiac but i will spare you, for now.
