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.

Review :

"The U.S. economy created far fewer jobs than expected in September, pointing to a surprising soft spot in the labor market and broader economy. Nonfarm payrolls rose a seasonally adjusted 29,000 for the month while the unemployment rate increased to 4.2%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In addition to the weakness in September, the August jobs count was revised lower to reflect a gain of 133,000 while July switched from a gain to a loss as payrolls fell by 10,000. The revisions in total showed 60,000 fewer jobs than previously reported.

- Jeff Cox, "Labor Market Faltered in September", www.cnbc.com, October 2, 2026.

The rapidly changing world of the 2020s leaves statisticians using economic measures constructed in the 1920s. This means data (in real time) misses swathes of the economy and underestimates growth. The rise of self-employment and side hustles complicates labor market data (designed to count people clocking in and out of a factory, not dancing about on TikTok). The risk with such imprecision is that time is wasted pursuing non-existent problems-or worse, that policy mistakes are made because of an incomplete, overly pessimistic understanding.

- Dr. Paul Donovan, "What Are We Missing ?" UBS Weekly Blog , October 2, 2026.

We are in the midst of one of the three most important geocosmic reversal periods of this year as outlined in our recent webinars, extending from September 25 through mid-November. Within this time band, we find an even tighter band of important Level 1 (strongest) geocosmic reversal signatures in effect right now, from the Sun/Neptune opposition of September 25 through the Venus retrograde and Sun/Saturn opposition of this weekend. Each of these is amongst the strongest and most consistent reversal signatures in astrology, given a 2-week trading range.

Last week, a few global stock indices attained new all-time highs (ATHs), while at the same time also exhibiting sharp but brief declines. This type of behavior is not uncommon when longer-term cycle crests are forming, as charts of previous 18-year cycle crests will demonstrate. For example, the last 18-year cycle crest unfolded in October 2007, with intermarket bearish divergence between the DJIA, which topped out first, and the NASDAQ which followed three weeks later. However, the divergence this time is even more striking, as several more global stock indices made new multi-month and possibly primary cycle lows last week while others were making new all-time highs. This divergence implies something fundamental is changing in the economies of the world, probably related to the techno-renaissance that's underway. The foundation of many world economies is no longer as dependent on manufacturing as it is on new innovations and applications in technology, which relates to Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius, 2025-2028. Uranus and Aquarius both rule technology. The trine to Pluto points to the destruction of old structures, forcing new inventions to meet the needs of the emerging economies that are being created.

In Asia and the Pacific Rim, the technology-heavy Nikkei Index of Japan had a smart rally last week, rising to its highest mark in 6-7 weeks, but still below its all-time high of June 22 near the summer solstice. It looks ready to break out above there. However, all other indices we track in this region fell to 8-16 week lows, with India's Nifty now testing its lowest mark of the year made on April 2.

In Europe, the tech-supportive economy of the Netherlands (AEX index) soared to a new all-time high last week, but the manufacturing-heavy indices of Germany (DAX), Switzerland (SMI) and the UK (FTSE) fell to their lowest levels in 10-16 weeks.

In the U.S., as mentioned above, the major technology index (NASDAQ) soared to its all-time high on Friday, October 2, while the DJIA fell to its lowest level since June. The S&P, like the Nikkei of Japan, rallied into Friday, October 2, but was still below its high made the prior week on September 22.

The Moon entered Gemini on Wednesday, September 30 and was there through Friday, October 2, while the Sun was in Libra, both air signs. Air-air combinations often coincide with sharp selloffs in precious metals, especially Silver. Both metals made their weekly highs on Friday and then sold off, with Silver falling to its lowest level in two months. We cannot rule out new yearly lows in both, as Gold is in the middle of its time band for a 47-month cycle trough-and we are in our third most important geocosmic time band for a reversal this year, as discussed earlier. Abrupt changes of trends are highlighted under these signatures.

In other markets, Bitcoin and Ethereum are testing their yearly highs and continue to point to new all-time highs ahead since their 4-year cycle lows were met in late June and early July. Crude Oil fell to a new 4-week low, down to 88.06 after peaking at 106.75 on September 15. The Euro is falling to its lowest level in eighteen months as rising interest rates strengthen the U.S. Dollar. Metals and currencies are due to change trends by mid-November, if the history of geocosmic cycles unfolds similarly to what has been seen in the past.

Short-Term Geocosmics :

Nobody knows what these machines can or will do. "There's never been a product that's less understood in terms of what its capabilities are than AI", (said Bill Gates). It is inspiring to imagine the moment an AI lab yields up treatments that will defeat pediatric cancer. It is horrifying to imagine the moment it completes the creation and successful distribution (to a lone sociopath or a terrorist group) of a new synthetic virus. That is where the most urgent energies must be applied. More is being spent on speed than safety in the AI labs.

- Peggy Noonan, "AI: Full Speed Ahead in a Dark Unknown", The Wall Street Journal , October 3, 2026.

Speaking of the "dark unknown", Venus-planet of love, credit, and money-is turning retrograde this weekend in Scorpio (debt), as mortgage rates have risen to their highest levels since 2023. There are also two major oppositions unfolding this weekend: Mars opposes Pluto (both co-rulers of Scorpio and debt), and the Sun (leadership) is opposed by Saturn (government and authority). This implies a lot of activity, decision-making, and conflict taking place behind the scenes in these areas. "Money for nothing", as the Dire Straits song goes. And it won't buy you love (in most cases). But that won't stop leaders from trying to buy votes or influence in upcoming elections via negative ads and attempts to expose the wrongdoings of their opponents (it is such a negative way to express Plutonian and Scorpio principles). Yet with Venus retrograde in Scorpio, such attempts to cast a dark shadow over someone can backfire, as witnessed in last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing involving former Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations and findings of election interference in 2020 and the January 6 insurrection that followed.

These dark energies of Mars, Pluto, Saturn, and Scorpio are also contributing to anxieties about AI and the potential to wipe out humankind. The danger may not be so much about machines becoming more powerful than humans, but that "bad actors" are gaining the tools necessary to weaponize AI unless regulations are put in place to prevent this (if possible). Keep in mind that we have "bad actors" at the head of many nations today who already have the power to release nuclear bombs that can destroy millions of humans at any time. So far, in the past 80 years, the leaders of these nations have resisted the temptation to press the panic button, even while engaging in wars that are killing millions of humans. Families are being destroyed (everyone killed in these wars is a child, spouse, and/or parent) by these "bad actor leaders", many of whom claim their actions are to create peace. Such is the diabolical twisting of meanings under Saturn and Neptune in Aries. But the power to destroy via nuclear weapons or AI weaponization has more to do with Pluto in Aquarius, especially as Saturn and Chiron approach their square to Pluto in 2028-2029. It is an existential threat. But so far, it is just a threat (Pluto). Yet time (Saturn) is speeding by (Aries), and instead of trying to establish controls for safety, leaders are choosing to compete in a race to win, faster and faster. Ultimately, there will be no winners if this is to be a competitive race. Pandora's box will be opened. Maybe Venus in Scorpio will put the brakes on this existential threat.

Heroes In Our Midst (against "bad actors") :

"On Monday, September 28, Mars moves out of emotional Cancer and into proud Leo. Mars, the planet of action and courage, can express itself much more powerfully in the fire sign of Leo than in the emotional depths of Cancer. Now it can once again step forward like a proud warrior, raise its sword, and show what it is capable of. This means that courage and the willingness to stand up for something can be rewarded. Until Thursday, October 1, Mars also forms a particularly favorable connection with spiritual Neptune. It may well be that during these days we will see some heroes who fight for what is good-or whose efforts to save human lives-will deeply touch our hearts".

-Antonia Langsdorf, weekly video in German,
www.youtube.com/antoniassterne
and Instagram
https://www.instagram.com/antonias_sterne/, which was published September 25, 2026.

The Indian pilot of the Flydubai plane who was stabbed by his co-pilot and opened the cockpit door to let others in has said he was determined not to let others die. Capt Smit Machchhar said he was on the floor and still being attacked when he realized the plane carrying more than 170 passengers was sinking and he had to do something.Indian social media has been awash with praise for Machchhar.. The prime minister [of India, Narendra Modi] told him that "his courage, patience and quick decision-making saved the lives of so many people" and the whole country was proud of him.

- Vikas Pandey, "I Was Not Going to Let Others Die", BBC, October 2, 2026.

Most people are not "bad actors". Some actually step up in the face of danger and perform heroic deeds, such as what happened on the Flydubai plane on September 30, described above, as Mars in Leo formed a trine to Neptune in Aries. Credit to one of Europe's finest astrologers (and my wife) for her forecast given last week on her YouTube and Instagram accounts (in German). Nice forecasting, Antonia !.

Longer-Term Thoughts and opinion :

To be continued (next week).

Announcements : for Events : see below.

Note 1 : Four more weeks : IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN ! THE "ANNUAL MMA FORECAST 2027 PRE-PUBLICATION SALE" STARTS NOW!!! The sale runs through October 31 and features our once-a-year discounts on both the annual Forecast book and MMA subscription reports.

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.

And the best deal on MMA subscription reports is also offered at this time ! Save 10% on any subscription of $275 or more with the purchase of Forecast 2027 . After the pre-order event ends on November 1, the retail price of the Forecast 2027 print edition increases to $66, and the eBook to $55. Subscription reports will also return to their regular prices. Order now and save big bucks !.

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.

For current subscribers, watch your email for instructions on how to pre-order your Forecast 2027 book at special pre-publication rates, beginning August 11 !!!.

EACH FOREIGN EDITION OF THE FORECAST 2027BOOK INCLUDES A STOCK MARKET SECTION SPECIFIC TO THAT NATION, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ENGLISH FORECAST BOOK OR IN OTHER INTERNATIONAL EDITIONS. However, we recognize that some readers and investors may be interested in these foreign stock markets without purchasing the entire edition in that nation's language. 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 . Readers who prefer to purchase these offerings together may also take advantage of our discounted bundle options, which can be accessed here. Each is available in PDF format and contains monthly charts as of December 1, 2025.

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 was issued last 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.
If you trade grains or are in the farming business and need an accurate timing and understanding of when to hedge your crop, this report is not to be missed! To order, click here.

Note 5 : THE MMA WEEKLY YouTube show Geocosmic Week in Review and Look Ahead, with Gianni Di Poce, is now conducted on Wednesday evenings !.

Note 6 : The MMA Monthly Cycles Report Plus+ , edited by Pouyan Zolfagharnia, was released last week.
This market letter is a very popular addition to the MMA Cycles Report (it is less technical, more visual, and contains horoscopes of current importance, high-quality analysis, and updates on MMA Cycles Report markets). The mid-month addendum to the MMA Cycles Report covers Pouyan's outlook on Gold, Silver, NASDAQ, and Crude Oil. It has stunning graphics and charts (people love it!) and is very readable. It contains more illustrations and references to geocosmics than most MMA Cycles Reports and is only available by subscription to those who also subscribe to the MMA Monthly Cycles Report.

Note 7 : The MMA Monthly ETF Report by Gianni Di Poce was released last week.
Many have asked about a monthly report on Bitcoin, and the Monthly ETF Report does this via BITO, the ETF on Bitcoin. Written by MMA market analyst Gianni Di Poce, the ETF is a monthly newsletter that everyone trading ETFs is encouraged to read, especially those that seek less risky trading venues than futures. This report covers 8 ETFs on a monthly basis for readers. The ETFs include : SPY (S&P 500), GDX (gold miners), BITO (Bitcoin), TLT (+20-year Treasuries), USO (Crude Oil), XLV (healthcare), XLK (technology), and XHB (homebuilders). This is a report that was requested by popular demand and Gianni's insights and strategies are excellent. For further information, click here.

Note 8 : THE MONTHLY MMA CHINESE SHANGHAI STOCK MARKET (SSE) REPORT was issued last week. It looks like the SSE has completed its 5.5-year cycle low earlier this year with its lowest price since January 2019. And as of last week, SSE has soared nearly 17% in the past month. For information on subscribing to this report and the ETF that follows it, click here.

Note 9 : MMA'S FREE WEEKLY COLUMN IS NOW ON SPOTIFY, APPLE, AND AMAZON PODCAST! Now you can listen to a podcast of this weekly column by Thomas Miller on Saturdays !

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!.

To learn more about the MMA App, click here. To order the app, go to Apple's App store and type in Merriman Solar/Lunar Reversals.

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. Click here to order.

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.
