I awoke recently in very early morn hours to the question arising within me of, “How do you want to be Known?”. I noted it within my bedside notebook and fell back to sleep.
Upon returning to sleep I was met by a lone, large Bee that was of a size similar to my hand. It’s body was vibrant in color and it radiated wellness. As I observed the Bee it settled upon a pristine white wooden planked floor.
I leaned over the Bee for a better look and noted a missing plank that allowed my view of a lone crab resting upon a dirt subfloor. The crab was alive and well but unmoving, as if unsure as to where to scuttle or awaiting direction possibly from the Bee.
I was calm and attentive to the Bee yet felt a need to contain it in some manner. I thought I might carry it outdoors to it’s natural habitat, for it’s own sake, as a measure to prevent it coming to harm by others whom might fear it.
I found myself to be holding a large glass jar and I attempted to “scoop” it around the Bee but try as I might the Bee repeatedly proved to be too large for the jar and would not be contained. I was puzzled by this as the Jar to Bee ratio made sense until I tried to actually capture it within the space.
Then I awoke, noted this message, and went about life; the question, “How do you want to be Known?” arisen previous the dream has remained prominent and echoes within me repeatedly since.
It is from this experience that I offer my thoughts upon this year’s Capricorn Solstice and the perfection of the Capricorn New Moon soon after.
***********************
We enter this space of very early Capricorn this year much changed due to our many un-doings of the recent years past.
Many of us are tired, deeply weary.
Some are still in battle with whatever they felt called to stand to.
Others are newly emergent into a calmer, though somewhat foreign, landscape.
We look about us and are unsure where to begin.
We do not yet have all-hands on deck and as we scan for resources what we once thought we needed to sustain our lives is no longer resonating and/or abundant.
Our Self Experiencing has taught us that we will bring to our experience that which we need to travel our courses yet in our Human Being-ness we are often short on patience and quick to forget the Truth of this.
Yet still we cannot deny that in our times of dying there yet has been a new prospect of life seeded within us.
We do not necessarily know, when the new life is midwifed into our World, what gender or personality this new Being-ness will demonstrate yet that is true of our human children also.
Our purpose is to be the vessel through which our children arrive and then ideally we exercise patience and await for them to announce to us How They Wish to Be Known.
As we spend these next day’s in early Capricorn darkness and stillness we have less seen Helpers holding space for us.
Hygeia, asteroid goddess of health matters, is companion to the Sun at this time and will be present also when the Moon joins @ 2 Capricorn.
The Moon is Out of Bounds as she comes into lunation perfection, as is Mercury (whom was ruler of previous Full Moon Gemini and at the 2 Cap degree during that lunation).
Venus copresent in Cap is emergent as the Evening Star and she as well as Mercury bring tidings from an end of Libra affair and early Scorpio eclipse.
Things begin to show their underpinnings.
Jupiter boldly challenges us to reignite our desires that were possibly extinguished the past weeks as he revisited Pisces for one last deep cleanse. MarsRx bids Jupiter to be mindful of the unseen, but no less real “wars” still raging in a myriad of locations and minds.
Allow your desires to be Bold of Heart yet temper any need to enforce those desires onto any other that just doesn’t feel it the same.
Solstice and New Moon looks to ruler Saturn in Aquarius for guidance and Aquarius co-ruler Uranus is still upon the same degree as the previous full moon.
The Uranus connection in the previous lunation was to ruler Mercury, whom was on the 2 Cap degree at the time, and some of us received dissonance from unexpected things or people.
Did you learn the lesson and now realize it is best not to override your intuition/body talk?
Saturn is busy synthesizing new communities and has noted the right, and not so right, fits.
A nod to Neptune and Pluto who are busy in the background and will be more prevalent in the weeks ahead.
**********************
If all of this feels complicated and if you have felt that you have no idea what intentions to make with this moon or maybe just don’t even truly care any longer aka ‘Your give a damn is busted’ then I offer the following especially for you.
We’ve reached a place that we can’t do this shit alone any longer but we also don’t have to take “unnatural” to ourselves strides to be ‘ONE’.
We already are One, but as Bono said, we are not the same. Same cloth different patterns and cuts and you get it!, it’s all cool.
Greater forces are synthesizing our individual selves into the larger fabric of the Next.
Yet maybe we are invited now to contribute just a little more so our future role(s) is just perfectly Us and by contributing this little more we will attain a certain level of peace and a certain “direction” as we await the Emergent Be-ing and Being-ness.
So I invite you to ask of yourself, “How do I want to Be Known?“.
In the stillness and the darkness of the coming fertile days can you allow the Out of Bound magic of this Moon and all of it’s out of ordinary reality experience being supported, not restrained, by Saturn to allow you to draw on your other lives within Tribe?
Can you draw upon the wisdom of those lives where there was another way of doing our Being, individually and collectively, that proved doing less can produce so much more?
We must return to a wiser economy of energy yet we needn’t sacrifice our individuality for our unique colors and flavors will be more necessary than before in times ahead.
Top down hierarchies have become a mockery to our Soulfulness and a yin Capricorn is reminding us of another way to do structure, to do society.
We are calling forward to us something we need so very much now.
Forget about careers and titles and advancement and all of the ways we have been taught these top dog ways of being.
Instead, with great compassion for yourself extending by your very nature to all others,
Ask yourself, “How Do I Want To Be Known?”
Maybe you want to be known as the ‘One who Laughs’ or the ‘One who Listens’, the ‘One who rocks the Babies’, the ‘One who designs the Starships’ or the ‘One who builds the Earth friendly Homes’.
Identify that One and feel into it and let go into the stillness of that space all that you do not know or understand;
just yet.
Happy Solstice and New Moon,
S. Brodbeck

It’s a big question and a very important one to ask. I usually catch myself in tears after asking who I want to be known as, because it is something to do with creating space.
