Review and Preview :

Have you had enough of this eclipse energy from September 1 through September 16 ? .
Or how about this Mercury retrograde cycle, from August 30 through September 22 ?.
Or maybe this Venus translation in a T-square to Pluto and Uranus, September 11-18 .?

I will tell you who I think has had enough these "deplorable" geocosmic signatures the past two weeks, and that is Hillary Clinton. From a lead of over 7 points just a month ago, Mrs. Clinton now finds herself trailing Donald Trump in many of the latest polls. Overall, she is still ahead by 1.1% in the Real Clear Politics (RCP) Average. But, how things have changed - which is not so surprising given the nature of these cosmic arrangements.

First, Mercury went retrograde on August 30. That often seems to be a time when approval ratings for political candidates reverse. It corresponded with John McCain's reversal in September 2008. It also corresponded to Herman Cain's fall from the top of the Republican ticket during primaries in 2012.

Right after Mercury began its retrograde motion on August 30, the solar eclipse occurred on September 1. This eclipse was extremely powerful, for it was in opposition to Neptune and square to Saturn. The Saturn/Neptune square finally ended on September 10, but the eclipse cycle remained in force until the full moon, lunar eclipse, of Friday, September 16.

The lunar eclipse - full moon in Pisces - is always considered a "crazy time" by astrologers. This was no exception, and it was exaggerated by the presence of Venus in opposition to Pluto and square to Uranus, September 11-18. Nothing is quite "normal" when Uranus is in the mix. Add a lunar eclipse in Pisces, and Mercury retrograde, and presto! - you get a presidential-looking, on-message, Donald Trump, and a pneumonia-ridden Hillary Clinton who lambasts half of Donald Trump supporters as "The Deplorables" - and the Trump supporters embraced the insult! The Adorable Deplorables! Everything backfires with Mercury retrograde and Uranus highlighted as part of T-square. Nothing is as it seemed.

Hillary was not the only one who was hazed and dazed by this cosmic trickster. Financial markets were skittish too. Take the Dow Jones Industrial Average, for example. After being down 394 points the previous Friday, September 9, it was up 239 points on Monday, September 12. But then on Tuesday, it was down 258 points. But wait minute. on Thursday it was up 177 points before falling back 88 points on Friday. Mercury the Trickster is like the road runner. First he goes right, then left. One day he is sharply up, the next day sharply down. Which way did he go? Which way is he going to go? No one seems to know. And this is just the way it goes with Mercury retrograde, a lunar eclipse in Pisces, and Venus in a T-square with Pluto and Uranus. It was a good week to be a chiropractor.

It wasn't any better in crude oil or precious metals markets, which also fell to multi-week lows.

Short-Term Geocosmics & longer-term THOUGHTS :

The good news is that these zany cosmic dynamics are passing out of orb. Saturn has completed its third and final waning square to Neptune as of September 10. The two-week eclipse cycle ended Friday, September 16. The Venus translation to Uranus/Pluto ends September 18. Mercury ends its retrograde motion September 22.

On top of that, many planets are entering new signs. Jupiter has begun a new 13-month trek through Libra as of September 9. The Sun will join Jupiter in Libra for one month, starting on September 22, the same day Mercury turns direct. Venus leaves Libra, its ruling sign, and begins a 25-day jaunt through Scorpio on September 23. Mars leaves Sagittarius on September 27, to begin a 6-week journey through Capricorn, where it is in its exaltation, ending the day after the USA election. Everything is changing, and so are people's attitudes.

The Fed will make an important announcement at their meeting this week, scheduled for Wednesday, September 21. That is the last day of Mercury retrograde, the last day of the Sun in Virgo, and a day that highlights the moon in Gemini, a volatile placement for financial markets, especially interest-rate related markets. Jupiter, in early Libra, makes a T-square to the FRB Sun/Pluto opposition in Capricorn-Cancer. Usually, under such Jupiter transits, the Fed's position is more accommodative. If so, stocks and precious metals markets will love it.

Also keep in mind that Venus in Libra often corresponds to a major low in Silver, as discussed in our Forecast 2016 Book . Mars in Capricorn is often more bullish for Gold than it was in Sagittarius. Everyone is down on metals, based on the idea that the Fed will announce a hike in its short-term rates. But in the cosmos, the story is a little different. Everything is in flux, and when in flux, investor sentiment changes. Things don't go the way everyone thinks they should go. There is a new narrative about to be rendered. This is a week to be very alert and adaptable. It will not behoove one to be stuck in a viewpoint based on the past two weeks.

The bottom line for Financial Astrologers is that this is the beginning of many new cosmic cycles. Don't be surprised if it is also the beginning of a new direction in financial, economic, and banking policies. Don't be surprised if it starts a major pendulum shift in politics too. It is like the fog will begins to lift, and the surreal world around us will start to become real again. Financial markets will likely begin to move back in tandem with buy and sell technical signals.

You will be hearing more about this spectacular retreat soon, but save the dates now. One of our guest speakers will be Ted Lee Fisher, money manager, retired member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and a legend in Commodity Futures for his pioneering work on creating Treasury futures. He is one of the most profound thinkers I have met on the current situation in world financial markets - a brilliant man and savvy trader. Egon von Greyerz of Matterhorn Asset Management in Zurich, Switzerland, an asset management company based on wealth preservation principles, will also be a guest speaker. Matterhorn has clients in over 40 countries and Gold vaults in Zurich, the Swiss Alps, Singapore and Hong Kong. Egon was one of the individuals behind the "Save Our Swiss Gold" referendum in Switzerland in 2015. Also present will be some of the brightest minds from the MMTA (Merriman Market Timing Academy) who will present their latest research on the best investment ideas of 2017-2018.

             The MMA Catalogue of products and services for 2015 is now out!!! You can download it in PDF. The ordering page is the last page of the catalogue. This is especially useful for those outside of the USA, since we do not mail these out by mail unless requested.

             I am oftentimes asked for recommendations of a money manager who uses my methods, since I won't manage other people's money. The thing is, almost all money managers I know use their own systems. But many subscribe to my services and share my thoughts about the future of the economy, various financial markets, and how to position one's portfolio along these lines. One money manager who subscribes to our services that I would suggest for those looking to structure a longer-term portfolio, such as a retirement account, is Duke O'Neill of Boulder, Colorado. He can be reached at dukeoneil1@gmail.com, or 1-(303) 545-5837. For those looking for a professional trader of commodity and futures contract might consider Ted Lee Fisher at ted.fisher@comcast.net. Ted is a legend in financial futures and has a seat on the CME. Both are very knowledgeable of the tools I use, of the way I am looking at markets, and yet each makes their own decisions as to exactly when to enter and exit any market. They will be more than happy to assist you.

             To the above list, I would also like to recommend long-term MMA subscriber Erwin Brunner of Zurich, Switzerland. Mr. Brunner is the founder of BrunnerInvest AG. One of his five funds was awarded theBest in-house fund of funds in the world recently. Mr. Brunner is a former director of the Swiss Banking Corporation (today it is known as UBS), and a general director of Rothschild Bank in Zurich. As an independent wealth manager for high net worth individuals and institutional clients only, he places his clients into the funds of the best performing fund managers in the world, via his own research and experience. For high net worth readers interested in Mr. Brunner's funds, please contact him through www.brunnerinvest.ch.

             It is with great pleasure that I announce the addition of Egon von Greyerz to MMA Investment Retreat faculty of presenters. I met Egon last week in Girona, Spain, at a special gathering attended by MMTA Graduates Nitin Bhandari (India), Philipp Beyer (Germany), Henry Canciglia (USA) and myself. Egon is an expert on Gold. He owns Matterhorn Asset Management, a Swiss Asset Management company specializing in wealth preservation, located in Zurich ( www.goldswitzerland.com). He was also the person who initiated the "Save Our Swiss Gold" Act in Switzerland late last year, which would have required the Swiss National Bank to back up their assets with 20% Gold holdings. The initiative failed, but his reasons for initiating this effort are still valid. Egon is very interested in MMA cycles' work, and will share his outlook on Gold and the world debt. This is a real treat!

             The newly revised The Sun, The Moon, and Silver Book :Secrets of a Silver Trader, is now out. This is a book that you will use as a reference guide for...many, many years.

Disclaimer and statement of purpose : The purpose of this column is not to predict the future movement of various financial markets. However, that is the purpose of the MMA (Merriman Market Analyst) subscription services. This column is not a subscription service. It is a free service, except in those cases where a fee may be assessed to cover the cost of translating this column from English into a non-English language. This weekly report is written with the intent to educate the reader on the relationship between astrological factors and collective human activities as they are happening. In this regard, this report will oftentimes report what happened in various stock and financial markets throughout the world in the past week, and discuss that movement in light of the geocosmic signatures that were in effect. It will then identify the geocosmic factors that will be in effect in the next week, or even month, or even years, and the author’s understanding of how these signatures will likely affect human activity in the times to come. The author (Merriman) will do this from a perspective of a cycle’s analyst looking at the military, political, economic, and even financial markets of the world. It is possible that some forecasts will be made based on these factors. However, the primary goal is to both educate and alert the reader as to the psychological climate we are in, from an astrological perspective. The hope is that it will help the reader understand these psychological dynamics that underlie (or coincide with) the news events and hence financial markets of the day.

No guarantee as to the accuracy of this report is being made here. Any decisions in financial markets are solely the responsibility of the reader, and neither the author nor the publishers assume any responsibility at all for those individual decisions. Reader should understand that futures and options trading are considered high risk.
