Note 1 : 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.

Note 2 : Writer for this week is :Gianni Di Poce.

Review :

WASHINGTON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - US consumer prices accelerated in September as the cost of gasoline surged, dealing another blow to President Donald Trump and his Republican Party ahead of the November 3 midterm elections and putting an interest rate increase later this month back on the radar.

-Lucia Mutikani, "US inflation heats up in September; Fed rate hike this month back on table", Reuters, October 14, 2026.

It was a bit of a tech wreck last week in the U.S. Pluto changed directions and went direct in Aquarius (tech), and the NASDAQ led the declines. It tumbled the hardest of the week (its worst stretch in months) as AI-related names faced renewed scrutiny over valuations and higher borrowing costs.

The S&P 500 dropped as well, but the Dow squeezed out a gain. Overall, inflation data and questions around the sustainability of the AI investment boom remain key drivers, with markets weighing the Fed's data-dependent path against seemingly resilient growth and energy-related stress. By the end of the week, the market didn't seem as convinced about a Fed rate hike on October 28.

European markets finished the week higher and near their best levels, with the FTSE leading the most. The DAX and the AEX were also higher. The Asia-Pacific region ended more mixed: the Nikkei and Kospi rebounded Friday after sharp prior declines, and the Shanghai Composite fell for the week. The Australian All Ordinaries market posted solid gains.

Precious metals were quiet overall, with gold finishing the week modestly lower. Cryptocurrencies were largely flat, although the new low in Ethereum, but not in Bitcoin, is rather notable. Oil prices continued to rally as geopolitical tensions remain elevated, while bond prices managed a short-covering rally (rates dropped). We usually don't see T-Notes and oil move in the same direction for long.

Short-Term Geocosmics :

Are we going two steps forward and one step back, or two steps back and one step forward ? That's the best way I can describe the current planetary climate, especially regarding directional changes.

Last week, Pluto went stationary direct. Two weeks ago, Venus went retrograde. Later next week, Mercury goes retrogradeon October 24. In November, Venus and Mercury go direct on the same day (November 13). Then, in December, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all change direction within three days.

If you consider these movements, it's no surprise the NASDAQ is basically back where it was in mid-May, while the Dow is back where it was in late June. But in between, we've seen new all-time highs, drawn-out corrections, and even sharp, short pullbacks. When it's all said and done, we're pretty much right back where we started.

Nevertheless, the geocosmic parallels between now and the March-April 2025 period, specifically with respect to Mercury and Venus retrograde, cannot be ignored.

Back then, the retrograde motions were mainly in Pisces, a water sign. This time around, they're in Scorpio, a water sign. In 2025, Venus was in Aries for a bit before retrograding back into Pisces, whereas this time, it's in Scorpio before retrograding back into Libra.

The 2025 retrograde motions corresponded with Liberation Day volatility and significant market downside. Now that these planets are almost on the opposite side of the zodiac, could it correspond to a crest this time ?.

The headline risks in the coming weeks are huge. Whether it's earnings, inflation, a Fed meeting, or the U.S. midterm elections, the market is walking a delicate tightrope. It could easily turn into a "Buy the rumor, sell the news" event.

Lastly, how remarkable was Venus retrograde corresponding with a growing expectation of a pause in Fed rate hikes ? History shows the slower the Fed raises rates, the more bullish it tends to be for stocks-until it's not.

Longer-Term Thoughts and opinion :

"Since Wednesday, chances of a merger happening before March jumped on Friday to 56% from 29% on Kalshi. Odds for an integration before April and May rose to similar levels".

- Ananya Chetia, "Prediction Market Odds on Tesla-SpaceX Merger Are Above 50% for Early 2027", CNBC, October 16, 2026.

Contrary to popular belief, market tops take time to occur. They seldom occur as singular events like market bottoms often do. Nevertheless, there seems to be an endless fascination within the financial community to "Call the crash". I mainly blame Hollywood for this, which is why I like to call it "Big Short Syndrome".

The bull market in stocks just hit its 4th anniversary since the October 2022 lows. The S&P is up roughly 118% from that low, and has satisfied various cyclical criteria for a high. But as Oppenheimer's Ari Wald, CMT, recently noted, "This is the 6th longest of the 24 bull markets since 1932. Looking at the 5 prior bull markets that reached the 4-year mark, the median time remaining before the cycle peaked was 13 months.... The median 5th year return was 21%".

Obviously, this doesn't mean a sustained bull run into November 2027 is a given. Still, the astrological elephants in the room through Uranus trine Pluto and Jupiter trine Saturn cannot be ignored either. In fact, both Ray and Pouyan have demonstrated how Jupiter trine Saturn can correspond to important market highs.

Even so, the macroeconomic groundwork is being laid for such a high, and it started about a month ago when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Since then, the U.S. Dollar has been strengthening notably. At the same time, U.S. equities have been outperforming their international counterparts by a notable margin for the first time since early 2025.

Understand that this migration of capital from around the world into U.S. markets is a pattern often observed in the lead-up to important market highs. Basically, the Fed's last rate hike kicked off this massive capital migration, and regardless of any pauses in rate hikes (thank you, Venus retrograde), the trend is now underway.

This happens because the United States, despite all its problems, is still home to the world's largest and most liquid market. There comes a time in the market cycle where losing the least is an important objective in the fund manager class, and the U.S. market has a perception of offering that opportunity.

There's also a lot of talk about the U.S. market's concentration risk. In other words, there are about 10 stocks that make up over 40% of the S&P 500. We've seen similar stories before-whether it was Japanese stocks in the late 1980s or dot-com stocks in the late 1990s. Both of these manias peaked with the market leaders making up over 40% of the index.

But that wasn't the biggest market concentration of all-it actually came from way back in the 1840s during a railroad boom, which saw rail stocks amount to roughly 63% of the equity indices.

This begs the trillion-dollar question : do we go on to test the previous record from the 1840s ? AI technology, at the very least, is as revolutionary as, if not more so than, railroads in the 19 th century.

From a geocosmic standpoint, it's interesting to point out how a pair of outer planets were in similar signs during the 1840s as they are now, except it's flipped. In the 1840s, Neptune was in Aquarius, and Pluto was in Aries. This time around, Pluto is in Aquarius while Neptune is in Aries.

Obviously, both railroads and AI are linked to frontier development. For railroads, it was across the North American continent. Will it be outer space for AI ? I think that would be preferable to a technocratic, neo-feudal surveillance state. At the end of the day, the market and the cosmos will decide.

To be continued (next week).

This year's book will have special importance because Ray will outline his view of the long-term stock market investment cycle and how to prepare for it. Do you want to be in cash and have liquidity, or lock your funds up in assets such as real estate that might not be liquid enough to take advantage of this cycle, which has an 80%+ historical record of presenting a generational wealth-building opportunity in stocks? The temptation to buy stocks and real estate at record highs will be strong, but doing so could end up being a timing mistake or result in a missed opportunity when the best "deals" arrive. But how will you know when the time is right ? This will be the subject addressed at the beginning of this year's book from the viewpoint of markets and geocosmic cycles.

During this pre-order period, the Forecast 2027 print edition by authors and analysts Ray Merriman and Pouyan Zolfagharnia, with additional market analysis by Gianni Di Poce, Wyatt Fellows, and Ulric Aspegrén, will be available at the discounted price of $55, and the eBook version will be available at $45.

MMA will also offer a special bundle discount for those who wish to order both the eBook and print editions of Forecast 2027 for $75. The eBook typically becomes available one to two weeks before the print edition and avoids delays caused by the postal system - especially for those living overseas. However, many readers prefer the print edition, so ordering both through the Forecast 2027 Bundle makes sense. You will receive the Forecast 2027 eBook on December 15, and your print copy will be mailed in mid-December.

MMA's annual Forecast book is an astrology-themed almanac that has served students of cycles and markets since 1976. It provides a cyclical outlook on the collective world psychology, the national economy, geopolitical developments, sociocultural trends, and potential weather and natural disasters - as well as financial market projections for the U.S. stock market, U.S. Treasury market, interest rates, Gold and Silver, currencies (the Euro, British Pound, Swiss Franc, and Japanese Yen), Bitcoin, Crude Oil, and Grain markets.

Its extraordinary market timing forecasts are based on the historical correlation between market cycles and geocosmic planetary cycles. Additionally, the book includes three-star critical reversal dates for each market throughout the year - dates that have demonstrated over 80% accuracy in identifying trading cycle highs and lows within an orb of three trading days. The book is approximately 200 pages, 8.5" x 11", and has set the standard for all astrological almanacs written today.

Therefore, we make those stock market outlooks available in English as a separate service for $35 each or $95 for all three reports. The overseas market reports for 2027 that are available separately in English include Japan's Nikkei , China's Shanghai Composite, and the German DAX and Zurich SMI indices .

Note 2 : SPECIAL ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE ON THE JUPITER REPORT - YOUR MOMENTS OF OPPORTUNITY ! The Jupiter Report was first introduced one year ago, in late September 2024. If you were one of the first to order then, it's now time to update your outlook for the year ahead. The cost of your 14-month Jupiter Report is $69. However, starting this week, we're launching a special one-year anniversary sale at $55 (a 21.5% discount) for those who order their next 14-month Jupiter Report.

The Jupiter Report is written by Raymond Merriman. It is a 30- to 40-page report that all traders (and even non-traders) will find highly valuable. It identifies the times during the year when Jupiter transits are highlighted in your natal chart and explains the meaning of Jupiter's transits to your natal planets and angles over a 14-month period (including one month before your order date and one month after the year ends). As an added bonus, each transit is ranked on a scale from -3 to +3 in terms of favorability for trading. Traders may find this especially valuable! Would you like to know when you are under a +3 transit and therefore most likely to experience trading success ? Or a -3 transit, with a stronger-than-usual potential for misjudgments and losses ?.

The Jupiter Report also makes an excellent holiday or birthday gift.

Here is a recent letter from our options expert, Derek Panaia, to the Options+ group, which closed out exceptional gains on five option trades presented in the July 13 webinar :

On a side note, I started using MMA's Jupiter Report this year, so I only have a few months of history with it. But my first positive Jupiter aspects came in March/April this year. I was trading copper and had made a nice long trade, and started buying puts for a dip. The puts did nothing for a week or so, then copper prices collapsed, and my puts went up sharply in one week. This started exactly on the same day my Jupiter Report showed a positive aspect. Well, fast forward a few months, and I have copper put spreads (the same put spreads you guys bought), and yesterday copper prices collapsed, and the puts made a lot of money. And guess what ? This was one day before my Jupiter aspects started positive again. For me, it is amazing how accurate this report has been. I just wanted to share this, FWIW. The Jupiter Report from MMA is not very expensive, so if you guys use astrology in your trading, you might want to check it out.

Note 3 : The monthly MMA Technology Cycles Report by Wiebke Held will be issued this week.
Wiebke has been nailing this market! Each report provides a clearly organized outlook with strategies not only for the NASDAQ but also for the QQQ ETF, NASDAQ futures, and specific technology stocks, including Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. It also includes CRDs (critical reversal dates) specific to the NASDAQ, based on Wiebke's meticulous research. Focusing on the NASDAQ is crucial because of the outsized role technology will play in financial markets-especially with Pluto already in Aquarius for several years and Uranus now in Gemini for nearly seven more years.
If you would like to try a one-month subscription, you can sign up for the March report for only $35 - or save by ordering a three-report or twelve-report subscription.

Note 4 : The MMA Grain Cycles Report was issued last week. Written by top MMA Grains Analyst Wyatt Fellows, this monthly report is a must for those who trade or farm Soybeans, Corn, and/or Wheat, as Wyatt himself does. These reports are very important now because of the approaching 36-year synodic (conjunction) cycle of Saturn and Neptune, which has a strong historical correlation to long-term cycles in all grain markets. This is a drought cycle. To subscribe to this excellent monthly report, click here.

Note 7 : The MMA Monthly ETF Report by Gianni Di Poce was released last week.

This report covers 8 ETFs on a monthly basis for readers.

Note 10 : The MMA Solar-Lunar App now offers reversal signals on the DJIA, NASDAQ, Gold, and Silver to all subscribers! .

Now there will be four markets with daily weighted values provided, which includes DJIA, NASDAQ, Gold, and Silver.

This app is an ideal tool to have in your back pocket if you are a short-term swing trader looking for high-probability dates that identifies isolated lows and highs in the DJIA, Gold, or Silver markets. Since it was first three months ago, it has been uncannily accurate in identifying swing lows and highs in each market. It is available only on Apple products (iPhone and iPad) at this time, although we are getting close to developing it on Android phones too, maybe by the end of this year.

How does it work ?. Based on historical frequencies, the higher the weighted value, the greater the probability of a swing trade reversal for the next 1-7 trading days (usually 2-5 days). Built into the app are instructions for ideal setups and explanatory FAQs. It's pretty amazing!.

P.S. : The MMA Solar/Lunar App gives each market an average of one trade per week every five trading day. The Solar/Lunar App is designed for "swing trades"looking for 2-5% moves from isolated lows or highs. If you like active trading signals based on solar/lunar combinations, the MMA App is for you!.

Note 11 : RAY MERRIMAN'S NEW BOOK, JUPITER AND SATURN TRANSITS : MASTERING THE CYCLES OF LIFE is OUT.

This is Book One, the first of five books that will be written over the next four years on the outer planets transiting through the natal chart. Nothing like this has ever been done before in the history of astrology. This first book, covering the transits of Jupiter and Saturn, is 420 pages long and includes all the major transits of Jupiter to one's natal planets and angles, including interpretations of the opening and closing sextile, square, and trine aspects. The Saturn section also includes the opening and closing semi-square and sesquiquadrate transits to all natal planets and angles, plus the "Business Cycle" of transiting Saturn through the natal chart. Each transiting aspect is also ranked on a scale of -3 to +3 in terms of trading and investment potential, which alone is worth the price of the book.

Transiting aspects to natal planets and angles are the most important astrological tools for forecasting an individual's current and future conditions with accuracy. It is these aspects that trigger events, crises, conflicts, awareness, and the decision-making processes that alter the current trend of one's life. This book will provide the timing and insight needed to navigate these critical periods and assist readers in mastering the cycles of life.

- Raymond Merriman

THE (ORIGINAL) GOLD BOOK : GEOCOSMIC CORRELATIONS TO GOLD PRICE CYCLES is now available as an eBook. This was the first financial market-timing book written by Raymond Merriman (1982) that put financial astrology on the map. It was the first book to conduct formal quantitative research studies on any financial market in relation to planetary cycles (there were several earlier studies on lunar cycles, but none on planetary cycles and stations until this book). It brought together Wall Street and astrology and revolutionized the field of financial market timing by demonstrating the correlation between market cycles and planetary cycles as reversal signals. As a result, the topic became one of the most attended subjects at financial and astrology conferences worldwide in 1983. This classic book has been out of print since 1984, except as a collector's item occasionally available through Amazon. It is now available as an eBook for the first time! 324 pages, $95.

Disclaimer and statement of purpose : The purpose of this column is not to forecast 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 often cite 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 may affect human activity in the times to come. The author (Merriman) will do this from the perspective of a cycles 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 the psychological dynamics that underlie (or coincide with) the news events and their potential effect on financial markets.
