ishpiming (ojibwemowin): in the sky
the moment we are born, we are imprinted with a map of the sky.
the archetypal dynamics underlying that moment, represented in the positions of the sun, moon, and planets, are carried with us for the rest of our lives.
in that moment we take our first breath, the track of our life takes form, and we are set along a fated and holy path.
the birth chart represents a natal promise, a responsibility and a calling for fulfillment.
