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\u2019s inner workings on the other hand, for those fellow travellers who are more sensitive.

The solar ingress into Capricorn took place on 21 December 2025 at 15:03 UTC. The chart for the ingress is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

At first glance, looking at the Sun positioned at the midpoint between Venus and Mars, this looks like a very creative and positive figure, which it can be. However, there is much to uncover here. The Sun is in a parttile square with Neptune, in the anaretic degree of Pisces. This alone points toward hypersensitivity, the finishing off of old business (Neptune at the anaretic degree), heightened imagination, heightened emotions, hypersensitivity \u2013 all characteristics we would expect to see with such a square.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun, Mars and the Moon are all in Capricorn, with Mars in the sign of its exaltation. Mars is also out-of-bounds. In addition we have the Sun, Venus, Mars, and Pluto all within 1\u00b0 of being parallel. On top of that, the Moon is far out-of-bounds, adding to the heightened emotional states we can expect for this quarter. Before we go into the midpoints for this chart we can also begin by parsing the squares that we see from the stellium constituted by the Sun, Venus and Mars.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already looked at the square between the Sun and Neptune. Venus is square to Saturn, which can indicate broken relationships, a more somber tone in relationships, and even betrayals. It is also an indication of financial losses and slowed economies. Mars is square to Ceres, which in a mundane chart such as this can indicate marked changes in military matters. There are several such in the world that are at crisis points at the moment \u2013 Cambodia and Thailand, the conflict in Gaza, the police action in Ukraine, the standoff in Venezuela, and now the military action taking place in Nigeria. But there is more to this Cererean connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

We note Mars is approaching its conjunction with the plutino Ixion, exact on Christmas Eve. Ixion, if we recall, is the malcontent of the irredeemable sort in its most negative expression. It is the little planet that calls for one to examine one\u2019s motives and more than anything, cries out for forgiveness of self and others. Mars with Ixion in a mundane chart, such as this one, can indicate Acts of vengeance, crossing red lines that cannot be walked back, acts of self-sabotage, simple bloody-mindedness and doubling down on bad behaviour. Added to that mix we find Ceres at the midpoint of that conjunction by square, showing such actions place one (or nations) at a real crossroads. In this case the road to perdition has been paved with ill intentions. Costs will be exacted.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can expect to see sudden turnarounds or changes in events. The Sun and Venus are both quincunx to Uranus, the latter being in its final retrograde phase before passing into Gemini in the first of the year. Mars is in a biquintile aspect with Uranus, revealing a strong urge toward creative freedom. For strategic thinkers this is an excellent chart for finding the hidden opportunities in crises. This brings us to the main midpoints, which will flesh out the remainder of the chart.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a 45\u00b0 modulus to the midpoints, the first one that appears is the Mars\/Saturn midpoint. In addition to that we have the Sun at the Uranus\/Pluto midpoint. And on top of all this, we have Neptune as those same midpoints. Starting with the Sun\/Neptune combination, on the one hand for people spiritually inclined this is a chart that can bring great intuitive insight into all matters. The creative potential is quite strong. We can expect advances in science and the arts this quarter as a result. It is a brilliant chart for all sorts of artistic endeavor. When we bring matters to the mundane level, the emphasis changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a chart where attempts to suppress public opinion or to change public opinion will be quite strong. Mercury is at the bending of the nodes, showing attempts to bury the past, while at the same time the future stands more and more revealed. The corruption within the Western halls of power has become clear to anyone who cares to look. The latest dump of the Epstein files, along with the revelation the redactions were not done properly, have revealed widespread money laundering and corruption among high level officials and criminal activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key to the entire midpoint train represented in the red box in the chart is the Sun\/Neptune square. On the positive side the Sun and Neptune in such a midpoint train represents long journeys, successes through the sympathetic understanding of other people, abundant experiences in the spiritual and psychic realms, along with mystical experiences for people who are more sensitive. On the negative side the Sun\/Neptune can represent illness, exploitation by and of people, great disappointments, chaotic conditions, entanglements and scandals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The square by Neptune to the Sun also indicates a weaker vitality. This is accentuated by the Mars\/Saturn midpoint, pointing to the inability to meet the demands of all situations along with the illness or death of members of the male population. We may also see some mysterious deaths, and overall the Sun\/Neptune with Mars\/Saturn can indicate grave losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning to Sun\/Neptune with the Uranus\/Pluto midpoint we see the urge for independence and freedom, high demands on one\u2019s physical energy along with strong emotional tensions. People should guard against over-excitement of the nerves for this quarter. The Uranus\/Pluto midpoint also is our so-called \u2018revolution midpoint\u2019. In the realm of spiritual work, one cannot ask for better combinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a chart that points toward material advancement and success. Instead this chart points toward inward and mental work. There will be much to rise above in terms of emotional situations this quarter. What we will see as the outcome of this quarter, more than likely are spiritual realities being visioned and brought to earth. Materialistically inclined people will suffer in this quarter except for the few who know how to make good use of crises. We can expect much information to come to light that has heretofore remained hidden from public view.<\/span><\/p>\n

To get an idea of what to realistically expect in terms of world affairs we need to look back at what was forecast for the Libra quarter<\/span><\/a>. We had the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
