Note : The purpose of this column is to provide educational insights into the tenets of geocosmic studies as they correspond to economic, political, and socio-psychological matters, as one of several tools that in turn may assist in the practice of financial market timing. This column is not intended, nor should it be used, as an advisory service for trading financial markets, without use of other financial market analysis tools. MMA subscription reports provide that type of advisory service, with specific recommendations for trading.

Review and Preview :

Despite the uncertainty around the presidential vote, Wall Street notched its best weekly performance since April. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumped 7.3% and 9%, respectively, for the week. The Dow rose 6.9% this week. The S&P 500 also posted its biggest election week gain since 1932... Victories by Republicans in several key Senate races, thus lowering the odds of a "blue wave" and the potential for higher taxes and stronger regulations, have been cited by Wall Street strategists as a reason for the rally in stocks. - Fred Imbert and Jesse Pound, "S&P Posts Best Week Since April Even With Election Undecided", www.cnbc.com November 6, 2020.

The Labor Department said in its Friday report that employers added 638,000 jobs last month, sending the unemployment rate down for the sixth straight month to 6.9%, topping Wall Street's expectations. - Megan Henney, "Where Are All the Jobs ?" www.foxbusiness.com November 6, 2020.

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung up about

Strawberry fields forever

- John Lennon, Paul McCartney, the Beatles, EMI, London, 1967

It was the week after the Halloween Full Moon conjunct Uranus on October 31. And as one might expect with both a Full Moon and Uranus highlighted, everything suddenly and unexpectedly reversed. The sudden changes in investor psychology were also indicated by Mercury changing directions on Tuesday, November 3, when the Moon advanced to Gemini, Mercury's ruling sign, in time for the U.S. presidential election. Once again, pollsters were off (but geocosmic studies were right on) as there was no "Blue Wave", and Democratic candidate Joe Biden did not win by double digits. In fact, as of this writing, no one has officially been confirmed the victor, right in line with our Forecast that the winner would not be known prior to November 6, and maybe not even before Mars turns direct on November14. With Saturn square Uranus approaching on February 17, doubts about the integrity or accuracy of the election results may remain until then. Stability and a sense of security and national pride in the republic, its leadership, and its fellow citizens may still be elusive for a few more weeks. There may be more surprises yet to come in the next 1-2 weeks.

World stock indices soared last week, following the multi-week selloff that ended the prior Friday, October 30. Especially noteworthy were the rallies in Japan, India, and the U.S. The Japanese Nikkei index made a new two-year high and is now testing its highest levels since 1991. India's Nifty soared to 12,280 on Friday, within striking distance of its all-time record of 12,430 made on January 20, 2020. And in the U.S., the NASDAQ Composite rallied to 11,974, only 100 points off its all-time high of 12,074 that took place on September 2.

Bitcoin also had a remarkable week, testing $16,000 on Friday, a level not seen since its all-time highs of December 2017-January 2018. Gold and Silver also posted strong rallies. On Friday, Gold surpassed 1960 intraday, up over $100 from its low of October 29. Silver tested $26 on Friday, its highest price since September 21.

In retrospect, it was a week that reflected the symbolism of the Full Moon conjunct Uranus and Mercury turning direct. However, the planetary arrangements for next week are potentially just as significant. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is not over. Surrealism continues to have its dominance over the realism we once knew. One can only imagine the level of surrealism that must be going through President's Trump's mind right now with transiting Neptune (sense of reality being challenged) in a T-square with his Sun/Moon opposition (core belief in oneself, one's self-identity). This could be a time of transcendence, or a full-blown disconnect between what he believes and what is real. Hence, it may be a surreal time for many people, but an extraordinarily surreal time for the President and his most ardent supporters if the voting trend continues in Biden's favor. It is probably quite surreal for Joe Biden too, for other reasons. We will discuss that in future columns if he is indeed declared the winner of the 2020 election.

Short-Term Geocosmics and longer term thoughts :

Here (in Arizona), morality matters, and so does loyalty. President Trump's attacks on the late Sen. John McCain infuriated many Republicans. McCain's widow, Cindy, endorsed Joe Biden, as did more than 100 former staffers of the senator in an open letter. in a state that Mr. Trump carried by 3.5% in 2016 and that last went Democratic in 1996. - Masada Siegel, "Has Trump Turned Arizona Blue ? " Wall Street Journal, November 6, 2020.

Democrats gained some ground in the suburbs and heartland in 2018, but they lost in many of these areas this year. One suggestion : Maybe try a more moderate message than defund the police. "A Democratic Flop in the States", Wall Street Opinion page, November 6, 2020.

The astrological studies reported in last week's column appear to have trumped the cycle studies. The astrological correlations presented pointed to a Biden victory. These included the Jupiter/Saturn synodic cycle of December 21, 2020 and the Saturn/Uranus square of February-December 2021. Each had a distinct correlation to the defeat of the incumbent party in the White House. The cycle studies that I cited pointed to a Trump victory. The final vote count is not complete as of this writing, but Biden is closer to the finish line than the president.

So, if the 20-year Jupiter/Saturn cycle, which is also known as the "Great Mutation" cycle this time because it makes a 200-year change from the earth to the air element, represents a "New Aira", what can we expect over the next 200 years, and in particular the next 20 years ? Will the beginning of the new air element series be more unifying for the U.S., for the world, than that of the earth element series ? That's the idea or at least part of the possibilities indicated by this huge cosmic shift. But the shift is not always obvious in the very beginning. It may take 5-10 years before the shift is apparent. This is a subject we will cover in greater detail in the Forecast 2021 Book, which will be out in a little over one month.

In the meantime, we have another cosmic gathering brewing over the next few days. Between November 9 and 19, Venus will be in opposition to Mars, and both will form a cardinal T-square to the Capricorn stellium of Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn. In the midst of this cardinal T-square, Jupiter will also make its third and final conjunction to Pluto on November 12, while Mars ends its two-month retrograde cycle on November 13-14. These latter two signatures are extremely powerful. The Jupiter/Pluto conjunction of November 12 has an 88% historical correlation to primary cycles within 11 trading days. Mars direct on November 13-14 has a 75% correlation to the same within 11 trading days. Both are thus powerful Level 1 geocosmic reversal signatures. The lows in world stock indices on October 29-30 were within these 11 trading days orb of time and may have coincided with the primary cycle trough. But since the middle part of this heavily-laden geocosmic time band occurs this week and stock indices (and Bitcoin, currencies, and metals) are rising sharply into it, we cannot rule out the possibility of yet another sharp reversal.

How this all might play out in November and December will be the subject of this month's MMA Cycles Report, to be released Monday evening in the U.S. For now, our collective attention is on the final days of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and what it means for the cosmic rendition of a "New Aira". Thanks to MMA market analyst Kat Powell for coining that phrase.

~~Longer-Term geocosmics and thoughts :~~

To be continued (next week).

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 G"...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!

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.
