## Resource

This week we're covering 14 transits—highlighted by Venus entering Aquarius and the New Moon in Capricorn at 28°. I open with an extended look at how the Capricorn stellium is already speaking through the headlines: Maduro's capture, Greenland, Venezuela's oil reserves, and the pattern I traced in last week's Substack essay playing out in real time. Every 32 years, this stellium stress-tests questions of authority, territory, and sovereignty. The ceiling becomes the floor. But the heart of this episode is closer to home. With the Sun and Mars squaring Chiron in Aries, fears and insecurities around authority are surfacing—both our relationship to external authority and to ourselves as the authority. I share some personal reflections on new fatherhood, the power I now hold over my children, and the generational patterns I'm determined not to repeat. We walk through Mercury opposite Jupiter retrograde in Cancer (the origins of how we relate to authority), Venus sextile Saturn in Pisces (taking responsibility for the guilt, shame, and blame impressed upon us), and Venus trine Uranus in Taurus (revolutionizing our values so we can show up differently than we were taught). It all leads to the New Moon in Capricorn on January 18th: setting intentions for how we want to be in authority moving forward. What fears are coming up for you? Let me know in the comments.
