The Capricorn quarter for 2026, which started at the end of 2025, began literally with a bang, leading with the crash of a private jet flight in Turkiye two days after the ingress. This is expected to be a restive quarter, full of surprises and setbacks for some, with profound insights into the world’s inner workings on the other hand, for those fellow travellers who are more sensitive.

Libra is the sign most associated with choice. Choices made on the bases of emotions and weighing options can be slow and maddening to onlookers. But choices made according to consciousness – of the soul – can happen in an instant. In the Libra quarter for this year choices made over the course of this quarter will reach far into the coming year. We have, in ways, reached some points of no return… Continue reading “The Libra solar ingress 2025”
The Sun entered the sign Cancer early in the morning of June 21st UTC. We were in what was to be the last days of a brief war between Israel and Iran, which will be covered in a separate post. On the day after the ingress Trump launched an attack on the Iranian uranium enrichment facilities, which at the time seemed as though the act might provoke a regional war with devastating consequences. But only a couple of days after that, a tentative cessation of hostilities is in effect. No analyst worth their salt expects it to last, at which point the war would flare up again, entering its next phase. That conflict has set the tone for this quarter, as we will see. This quarter, like the Aries quarter, looks to be a restive, even violent one. For more about what this quarter should bring, read on… Continue reading “The Cancer solar ingress 2025”
We are all familiar with the saying, “It is always darkest before the dawn.” Our world seems to be rather in chaos at the moment, especially since the start of December this year. We see increasing military actions across Eastern Europe and West Asia, increasing terrorist attacks in Europe – Russia being the largest country in Europe – elections being overturned because certain nations do not like the results, increasing levels of threat, people and nations waiting in bated breath for the next US administration, and so on. Do we have need to be concerned, or is all this shown ‘in the stars’? To find out, read on…It is going to be a wild one. Continue reading “The Capricorn solar ingress 2024”
On the 22nd of September this year we have the Libra equinox. This particular equinox is always about the balancing of forces and the choices we make regarding our lives going forward. As always the events of the preceding quarter set the tone for events to take place in the quarter before us. On the surface the astrology for this Libra quarter appear to be easier and indicative of greater grace in world matter. But looks can be deceiving, as we know. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Libra solar ingress 2024”
The Sun enters Cancer on 20 June this year, marking the Cancerian solstice. Following on from the events from the previous quarter, this one appears as though it will be much the same as the last one, with a few differences. Starting from April of last year a consistent theme in most of the ingress figures at the equinoxes and solstices has been the presence of the Sun in a hard aspect to Neptune, either by conjunction, square or opposition. This ingress figure features a partile square between the two, which will produce significant evenets.

The Aries equinox takes place on the 20th of March with the ingress of the Sun into Aries, marking the beginning of the astrological calendar. Always with Aries there is the note of leaving something behind in bringing in a fresh impulse. With its mythology and lore more associated with the northern hemisphere, Aries marks the start of spring and new growth. The theme of leaving old situations behind and seeking a fresh outlook is particularly pronounced over the next three months. For more, read on… Continue reading “The Aries solar ingress of 2024”
The Sun enters Capricorn on the 22nd, marking the Capricorn solstice. Given what has happened in the last quarter in Israel we hope for a ceasefire and an end to the carnage in Gaza. That conflict will dominate in this post on the ingress. Does the ingress figure hold the signs for such hopes? For more, read on… Continue reading “The Capricorn solar ingress 2023”
The Sun enters Libra on the 23rd of September this year, marking the equinox, autumn in the north and spring in the south. What follows is a brief forecast for the Libra quarter through to Christmas, plus a review of the one just passed. Continue reading “The Libra solar ingress 2023”
The Cancer solstice for 2023 takes place on the 21st of June this year at 14:58 universal time. We’ll have a look at the chart for the ingress figure in a moment. This quarter follows upon what has been a rather restive Aries quarter, which will be described shortly. But for the northern hemisphere vacation days are upon us. The kids are out of school and the parents here in Italy are looking forward to the month of August, which is when the bulk of vacations take place here. And by that time, the parents will be ready to send the children back to school. At least this summer in Europe we are looking at a cooler season with some much-needed rain. For those readers in the southern hemisphere the 21st marks the shortest daylight hours of the year, with lower than average rainfall and higher than average temperatures for the quarter. Ski season in the Blue Mountains is not looking particularly spectacular this year. For more of what this quarter it portends, read on… Continue reading “The Cancer solstice 2023”
