Cardinal ingress

In mundane astrology the concerns for the year are represented with the Suns ingress into Aries, [the vernal equinox] but the charts of all the cardinal signs can be treated in the same way. The Suns ingress into Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn show the general indications affecting the nation during the next period, which in turn depends on which sign is rising.

The potency of the Aries ingress depends on the sign at the Ascendant, for a fixed sign [Aries, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius] the chart is potent for a year, for a mutable sign rising [Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces] the chart is potent for six months, then for a cardinal sign rising, it is potent for just three months.
