A shapeshifter has no destiny of their own as they take on the shapes of others for moments they live that life with the burden and freedom of being alone and in that is no death. Knowing the constellations is another form, not shapeshifter, of teaching to remember ones own body able to go to the next life experience with your body and then bring it back around at will. The reason is then so you can choose your own death.
I recall the moving of the stars so that no one knows not even the ‘archons’, in old world telling star knowledge after he is risen.
