Whenever four or more planets bunch up in Capricorn, there is a heavy depressive feeling in the air. Capricorn is the sign of reality and hardship and that is what we are all facing now in early 2026 with Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Capricorn. All of the other planets in negative signs (except Pluto) don't help much either.

Ruler Saturn in Pisces with Neptune goes deeper and more emotional adding a sense of helplessness and isolation. We just want to withdraw from the world and sleep and fantasize. Capricorn-Pisces produces very quiet, introverted, and mystical individuals and situations. Jupiter in Cancer increases sensitivity and domesticity and Uranus in Taurus destabilizes the material and financial.

It's a time of deep thought and reflection, organizing, and planning ahead. Time to tighten our belts with all of the high costs of living and a time to prepare for what appears to be a dark, chaotic, and unpredictable 2026. The weather doesn't make sense anymore, the politics is disruptive and unpredictable, and almost everyone has some money or health issue.

Yes, our world is falling apart, with only our memories to hang onto. It's the calm before the storm, the dark before the light, and most of us aren't sure what to do anymore, especially as more and more banks and financial institutions are failing, and the digital world is replacing the real one.

Seeing as we can't rely on the past or exterior world anymore, it's time to go within and summon whatever power we can find to navigate the rough seas ahead. Fortunately the depressing Capricorn stellium of early 2026 will change into the Aquarian stellium of hope and new beginnings and things will look and feel much more positive then.

Yes everything is cycles and highs and lows and positivity and negativity and we have no choice but to experience all of it, and it's always been that way and it always will be. Happy New Year everyone!
