Paraphrased from the book: People are not limited by their starting
position, direction, or clan.  They will not always have the strengths
and weaknesses of just this one position. They have to journey as far as
they can around the wheel, experiencing the lessons, challenges,
strengths and weaknesses of as many of the positions as possible.  Every
position has something to give them, some gift that will enlarge and
enrich their lives.

Recommended reading; moons, totems, clans, etc. meaning explained well.
