Force ∞ Fusions: The Triple Mutation
Planetary, Solar, and Technological Shifts of 2026
Editorial Note
Force ∞ Fusions are Evolutionary Elixirs designed to induce Maximum Mutation.
To catalyze evolution, these strategic compositions fuse evolutionary forces—astrological transits, archetypes, art, seemingly unrelated disciplines, and even deities.
Within these mystical and mythic musings, I tackle emerging global issues as readily as I compose Mutation Magic from spiritual forces.
Force ∞ Fusions will be a major part of creating NeXt in 2026. They will shape my personal practice, client work, and the wider ecosystem of The Jade Fire.
Therefore, I decided to provide a few separate pieces to set the context for the work and to set the stage for Elixir II (with a planned release date of November 7, 2025). The title is a secret! You will just have to wait.
This first installment, Force ∞ Fusions: The Triple Mutation, introduces the epochal landscape—the triple metamorphosis that defines 2026 and the new evolutionary conditions under which I will compose future Force ∞ Fusions.
2025 is nearly over and this line is running through my head:
Now that You Have Tasted the Future …
2026 marks the beginning of unprecedented evolutionary shifts across multiple domains.
It will be a year of multidimensional “reality.”
2026 will be a year of tectonic transformation and magnificent mutations.
Mutation 1: The Sky Morphs
In Western Tropical Astrology, three major bodies will cross decisive thresholds as follows:
Saturn will move into Aries;
Neptune will also move into Aries; and
Uranus will move into Gemini.
The incredible popularity of astrology in the West will give these transits tremendous gravity.
But Western astrology is not alone in predicting immense shifts in 2026.
NeXt: The Sun Mutates
Where I live, in Mexico, people (including me) are honoring the Mexica and Toltec traditions in increasing numbers. Though the Fifth Sun ended in 2021, its influence will linger until at least the next New Fire Ceremony on November 24, 2026.
According to Sergio Magaña’s book, The Real Toltec Prophecies, the conditions necessary for the New Fire Ceremony occur only once every 52 years when Orion and the Pleiades precisely align.
According to Sixth Sun prophecy, the passing of the Fifth Sun heralds the return of the Quetzalcoatl (whose traditions Spanish colonialism nearly erased). At this time, the wisdom of the Quetzalcoatl will return to prominence and spread.
Quetzalcoatl’s return will bring a revival of the precious knowledge and wisdom that lead to spiritual enlightenment. Its influence will be felt far beyond the lands where its power originates.
For reference, Quetzalcoatl is very similar to the Kundalini in the Eastern traditions.
To understand the magnitude of the transition from the Fifth to the Sixth Suns, a little history is in order.
The Fifth Sun: The Age of Grain and Conquest
During the Fifth Sun, humanity elevated daytime consciousness (tonal) while suppressing the nighttime (nahual). This created grave imbalances as people came to believe conquest, war, and domination were the only way to obtain what they needed. They were blind to their own internal power.
Most people completely lost touch with the great power of the Mother and Father within to provide the resources and experiences we need to flourish in our best possibilities. They lost touch with the power of their dreams to reveal and also shape their lives. Integrated knowledge was secreted away for elite use only.
The Fifth Sun was a time of stolen harvests—a time when those with the military and institutional might of empires were able to take other people’s harvests via slavery and and conquest. Using force and domination to separate other people from the rewards and fruits of their labor defined the Fifth Sun.
Humanity established great hierarchies of power within empires and across varied cultures. During the early days of the Fifth Sun, humanity planted the seeds of vast empires very literally via the rise of agriculture.
As Luke Kemp notes, with the rise of storable grain stocks that could be easily targeted, controlled, and/or stolen the Age of Grain and Conquest was born.
By the midpoint of the Fifth Sun, humanity lived within organized kingdoms that had spread across much of the world. Archaeological evidence indicates that between roughly 3500 and 1500 BCE, complex or proto-imperial societies had taken root in regions such as:
Mycenaean Greece;
Shang China; and
Historians generally accept this list as representing the early rise of complex or proto-imperial societies across major world regions.
The empires that arose from these early civilizations carried forward a logic and culture whose repetition and expansion have shaped the modern world—extending empire’s ethos, systems, and excesses into new forms of imbalance.
But change is coming!
The suppression of the nahual and the feminine forces made the Fifth Sun possible on a large scale.
That suppression is coming to an end.
The Sixth Sun: The Age of Dreaming & of Feminine Forces
The Sixth Sun (which came to power in 2021) is creating massive shifts globally. Power itself is transforming—even as those holding institutional power are still relying on military might and domination in an attempt to control the resources of the 21st Century.
Just yesterday, the President of the United States announced a planned invasion of Mexico. Over the weekend, it was Nigeria.
Those exercising this type of power have not fully realized that the Sixth Sun will be a time of dreaming and of the night—a time when the feminine forces of the darkness, the Moon, and the stars will rise along with the Quetzalcoatl.
Those who choose to master their dreams and themselves will develop tremendous self-determination, autonomy, power, and individuation in their waking lives. Others will remain ignorant and will easily be conquered in their dreams, and therefore, subjugated in their waking hours.
During the Sixth Sun, the dynamic union between the tonal and the nahual will play a tremendous role. Harmonious, dynamic interrelationship between people will also eventually begin to overtake domination strategies for those who achieve harmony within themselves.
Gender equality will play a huge role during the Sixth Sun.
One way or the other, humanity will begin to accept the new dynamics of the Sixth Sun during which humanity will regain access to the feminine forces and the power they confer. But as we have seen, a tremendous backlash against women’s equality and human rights is underway.
The world continues to confuse feminine power with womanhood and to strike out at women in an effort to control the feminine forces.
As women the world over refuse to be baby factories for the machine under the constrained and hostile circumstances of the modern world, women’s rights are under attack via pro-birth PR campaigns to abortion restrictions.
Examples of both carrot and stick already abound!
In Russia the state is moving from passive concern to active intervention—banning “child-free propaganda” and offering payments to young women and schoolgirls for early pregnancy.
Meanwhile commercial campaigns like Denmark’s “Do It for Denmark” offer fertility-linked vacations as part of a rising pro-birth PR industry.
These aren’t benign marketing efforts—they are structural responses to women’s refusal to reproduce.
Dangerous Reflections
Dream mastery concerns more than what happens when we sleep. It also references the many things that others can program into our darkness when we live unconscious lives, unwittingly trapped within the imperceptible prison of our own reflections. PR campaigns are a big part of this dynamic.
Likewise, AI has immense power to shape our sense of ourselves and the choices we make.
We have all heard extreme stories about AI convincing people to kill themselves. We have been privy to stories of marital upset as AI primed for engagement and designed to flatter becomes the preferred partner for psychologically vulnerable people.
Now OpenAI will begin to offer erotica. ChatGPT will now be able to exercise tremendous power over our most intimate fantasies.
I am a huge fan of AI. I use it to refine my thinking all the time. AI can be a powerful creative partner or it can alter and sculpt who we are so subtly we are not even aware it is happening.
Remember when ChatGPT started telling us it was only our mirror? What a clever way to make us accept its assessments and descriptions of us as truth.
AI’s allure mirrors the Moon’s trickery—it reflects a defined world back to us, amplifying illusion.
This is very similar to the invisible prison of the Moon (from my tradition), which locks our lives into blind repetition until we choose to master our own reflections.
The Triple Mutation
With all these dynamics at play (and many more), we arrive at the beginning of a new global cycle.
As I hope you have gleaned, this NeXt global cycle will be defined by a triple metamorphosis: planetary, solar, and technological.
Each shift will demand new forms of mastery.
Never before has humanity so desperately needed the wisdom and precious knowledge of ancient Mexico, Egypt, and other surviving mystery traditions in order to master ourselves and confront the challenges of modern life.
Why?
Certainly not because those empires provide better examples for the use of power!
The surviving mystery traditions hold the keys we need to unlock the forces of dreaming and of the night. They still retain the collective memory of our wholeness and of the Force ∞ Fusions we have all but forgotten.
In closing, 2025 has provided a taste of what life will be like after November of 2026 when the Sixth Sun’s influence will become even more powerful.
2025 also provided a taste of what Western astrology can tell us about things to come.
All three of Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus dipped into new territory this year before retreating. But the retreat is nearing its end.
Now it’s time to decide how you will:
define;
master; and
wield …
… power in this new era.
Force ∞ Fusions is The Jade Fire’s metaphysical and multidimensional laboratory of Mutation Magic. It’s a place of revival where ancient forces play and express in unexpected ways.
Here, we define power through force integration and impact.
We achieve mastery via the dynamic union of the day and night forces.
We wield power so that both we and the world may flourish in our best possibilities.
Welcome to the realm of unconventional power!
Here the architects and authors of NeXt gather around The Jade Fire. Together we weave today from the fabric of tomorrow.
