Human birth

Manushya janma · square 43

Human birth returns to the question of beginning, now with attention to a role or responsibility you choose to take on.

Manushya janma revisits birth in the fifth row. Rather than physical birth at the beginning of the board, this reading concerns becoming more deliberate about a human role: a partner, friend, parent, colleague or member of a community.

You may inherit expectations about a role before deciding which of them you accept. Some fit the life you want; others need discussion or revision. A conscious commitment becomes clearer when it includes what you can offer and what you cannot promise.

Think about a role that matters to your question. What would taking it seriously look like in practice? There may be something to begin again with greater honesty about both responsibility and limits.
