crimsoncurrentCAPRICORN 2
A wisdom tooth that has been removed from someone's mouth. It is plated with gold.
It is useless to know certain things out of context. If you have always known something crucially important, that kind of knowing does not serve you any longer. So you must place yourself in the antithesis of what you have always known, and then when all seems lost, chaotic and super-strange, you must find deep inside you that spark of what you have always known, which holds true under impossible conditions. It always turns out that the massive superstructure, the beliefs and the concepts, fall away, crumble to dust.But what was deeply and truly learned and made your own emerges far stronger than ever and provides a basis for the future. Meanwhile, in the thick of the action, it can look pretty desperate until the need is so acute that you reawaken that special place and make it work for you, when truth is a matter of life or death.

Capricorn 2 – Additional Interpretation
This degree speaks to knowledge gained through pain, loss, or extraction, not comfort. What once grew naturally now must be removed, refined, and preserved. The gold plating shows that value remains—but only after something living has been taken out of circulation.
Capricorn 2 often marks a moment where authority based on habit or inheritance no longer works. The individual realizes that repeating what has always been known brings no power in the present situation. Survival now depends on inner mastery rather than external structure.
There is a stark choice here:
cling to systems, rules, or beliefs that once worked but are now dead, or
strip everything back until only what cannot be taken away remains.
This degree frequently manifests during crises where:
tradition collapses,
status offers no protection,
and credentials mean nothing unless they can be re-embodied under pressure.
What emerges is a hard, distilled wisdom—not comforting, not sentimental, but unbreakable. Capricorn 2 is about learning which truths survive when everything else fails and then rebuilding authority from that core alone.
If you want, I can:
integrate this directly with your 7-year event point / Meghan context, or
contrast Capricorn 2 with Capricorn 1 and 3 to show how this degree functions as a threshold.
