Capricorn in every year from 1930 to 2029 — no ambiguity, no dependence on the hour. Here is what else this specific date produces.
Where in Capricorn this falls
Jupiter-ruled decan of Capricorn
Jupiter widens the sign — more appetite, more optimism, and less patience with detail. Sitting in the first ten degrees, the sign shows in its rawest form — least mixed with the sign before it, and least worn down.

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.
A century of 26 December
Every figure here is specific to 26 December: the Moon returns to a given phase on the same calendar date only every 19 years or so, so the counts differ from one date to the next. Mercury’s retrograde periods drift by about 30° of the zodiac each year, which is why the share is near 20% but never identical. How that 20% is computed →
Year by year
The sign column never changes; only the number does.
Life path numbers this date produces
The most frequent is 7 with 11 years; the scarcest is 22 with just 3. And this date can carry a master number: 22 in 3 of those years, 33 in 7 of those years. Master numbers are never reduced further, which is exactly why they are scarcer than single digits on any fixed day and month. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer holds
26 December sits 4 days past the start of Capricorn and reached 4.72° this year — far enough from either boundary that no birth year or hour changes it. The question worth asking on this date is where in the sign, not which sign.
