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 :

A 6-3 Supreme Court majority on Friday, February 20, struck down President Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs in a monumental vindication of the Constitution's separation of powers. You might call it the real tariff Liberation Day. but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency. Review and Outlook, "The Real Tariff Liberation Day : Trump Demeans Himself on the High Court", Wall Street Journal, February 21-22, 2026.

The Producer Price Index rose 0.5% last month, a pickup from December's 0.4% rate. The new data indicates that more tariff-related price increases could be still to come. Stock futures moved lower after the data release, with investors fearing the hotter-than-expected inflation report could lead the Federal Reserve to keep its rate-cutting cycle on pause. Alicia Wallace, "Wholesale Inflation Was Hotter Than Expected in January", www.cnn.com February 27, 2024.

The Supreme Court's ruling that the Trump tariffs launched on "Liberation Day" in April 2025 was illegal was a "good news/bad news" event for global stock markets. It was good news for most countries outside of the U.S., but bad news for the U.S. stock market. And, oh boy, did it ever coincide with our TUMDI signal - the "Trump Uranus Market Disruption Indicator" - in effect February 3-27, 2026.

The DJIA, for instance, made its all-time high on February 10, at 50,512, right in the middle of Uranus direct (Feb 3), Venus square Uranus (February 8), and the solar eclipse square Uranus on February 16-17. But the Uranus tsunami didn't end then. Mars squared Uranus on Friday, February 27, just after Mercury turned retrograde on February 25 and just one week after the 36-year Saturn/Neptune synodic cycle. By Friday, the DJIA was breaking to a new 4-week low and nearing a break to its lowest level since January 2. The S&P and NASDAQ also struggled last week but have not yet fallen to new monthly lows.

Yet, other world stock indices rejoiced at the Supreme Court decision, with many soaring to new all-time highs (ATH). In Europe, both the Netherlands AEX and London FTSE made new ATHs late last week. Both the German DAX and Zurich SMI rallied smartly trading at multi-week highs on Friday, too.

In Asia and the Pacific Rim, the Australian ASX and Japanese Nikkei indices roared to new ATHs. China traded up to 4168 in the SSE on February 25, not far from its 10-year peak of 4191 of January 14. India's NIFTY and the Hang Seng of Hong Kong, however, declined last week, along with the U.S.

Gold and Silver performed well, rallying to their highest level since the collapse following their ATH's of January 29. This is probably related to the threat of a military strike on Iran as Mars squares Uranus. The same war threats probably led to Crude's Oil rally to 67.83 on Friday, a level not seen since August 1. Bitcoin and Ethereum failed to maintain a mid-week rally and faltered into Friday.

Short-Term Geocosmics :

"Is there something so wrong with society that makes us so pressurized that we cannot live in it without guarding ourselves against it?" John Lennon "The Year That Music Changed Everything", Apple TV.

We now enter another Mercury retrograde cycle, February 26-March 20. It didn't take long for the Trickster to starts its iconic "Contradictory Shuffle" dance routine. On Friday, the U.S. Producer Price Index came in very hot, with a rise of .5% when .3% was the consensus expectation. Normally this would cause interest rates to rise and stocks to fall, as the Fed would be concerned about rising inflation. Stocks did indeed fall after the report, but Ten-Year Treasuries rose as rates fall below 4% during the day for the first in since November. Is this to be the first example of a Mercury retrograde fake out for this cycle ?.

With the Trickster (Mercury retrograde) back amongst us, and Mars square Uranus with Mars (aggression) about to move into Pisces (passivity) on Monday, March 2, the next three weeks may be very confusing for both the masses of people as well as world leaders. Where are we headed ? It is a subject I address in last week's Annual Forecast Webinar, and it may lead to an increase in mental health issues on one hand in 2026, but the realization also that societal and governmental change can come about through non-violent protests on the other hand. Violence will only lead people to support government restrictions on their freedom in return for promises of safety.

Market-wise, we have two other contradictory signatures ahead. Venus will conjunct Neptune (March 7) and Saturn (March 8). The first can be bullish, but the second activates one of our rules, which is to buy any market that declines into a hard Venus/Saturn aspect. Thus, we will apply another one of rules, which is to be very nimble and short-term in trading under a Mercury retrograde cycle, for whipsaws and false buy and sell signals can happen every 1-4 trading days. In the event that no markets complete and major or greater cycle top of bottom within 4 trading days of February 25, we will look for a stronger reversal at the midpoint of the Trickster's cycle, which will also occur on March 8-9 (a weekend/Monday, so watch next Friday and the following Monday closely for possible reversals that are tradeable for quick profits).

Be tempted to play a mental game of "he/she loves me, he/she loves me not". Better to ask for the truth and not rely upon your fears (Saturn) or fantasies (Neptune), especially with Mercury retrograde where maybe the answer to this question is pre-mature. Maturity should be held in high value these days.

Longer-Term Thoughts and opinion :

The reality is that tariffs have been disruptive to the economy and are deeply unpopular. They haven't reduced the trade deficit or boosted factory employment, as Mr. Trump claims they have. Higher levies on imports lead to higher costs and fewer choices. The president insists that tariffs ultimately are paid by foreigners and are necessary to "protect our companies", but a recent study by the New York Federal Reserve concluded what many other studies have shown-that nearly all the economic burden from the Trump tariffs has fallen on U.S. firms and consumers. Jason L. Riley, "The GOP's Last Chance to Shed the Tariff Albatross", Wall Street Journal, February 25, 2026.

These data point to a reality that Mr. Trump refuses to acknowledge-namely, a country or region runs trade deficits whenever it attracts more global capital than it repels, and it runs trade surpluses whenever it repels more capital than it attracts. Donald Boudreaux, "America's Trade Deficit Is a Sign of Strength", Letters to the Editor, Wall Street Journal, February 21-22, 2026.

As I think about how this Aries Vortex symbolizes the bottom of the social, cultural, and political divide and how we might come out of it economically stronger, a few thoughts come to mind related to the Uranus entering Gemini in a trine aspect to Pluto in Aquarius. President Trump wants to reinvigorate the manufacturing sector of the economy, which at first glance seems ill-advised as very few Americans want to work in factories. Plus, it is apparent that this aspect is coinciding with a huge displacement of the current work force in both public service (government) and manufacturing (automobiles, computer chips, military supplies, and weapons/drones), to be replaced by AI and robots. But herein lies a reason why the priority to resurrect manufacturing could work.

Imagine a factory where the majority of the labor is performed by robots (this is not hard to imagine). After the initial investment, and even with the training and adoption of much fewer new workers to maintain and oversee the work of the robots, the payroll cost of these companies will be sharply reduced. They could very well fall below the cost of outsourcing the work to other countries where humans still assemble parts for much lower wages (and benefits) than offered currently to American factory workers. The result could be very profitable to manufacturers. At the same time, this transition would not be so positive to unions, who would have to create a new class of memberships for robots.

In this scenario, the future would look very bright for both tech companies and those who produce robots, as well as manufacturers who put these new "machines" to work, to do the labor. The demand for AI skills and robots are likely to increase substantially with Uranus in Gemini. And new jobs to maintain and repair robots and machines would also increase yet require much fewer bodies than currently are employed in these vocations. The U.S. could then again be competitive in manufacturing as the entire concept of labor and service goes through this historic Pluto in Aquarius transformation.

This could be one of the positive outcomes of Uranus trine Pluto in air signs as we move past the Aries Vortex peak in 2026. Now, if the President could just get over his obsession of using tariffs as weapons of control, causing our trading partners to lose trust in the U.S. and seek trade alliances with other nations, this could work out very profitably for U.S. manufacturers. Companies would likely reinvest in factories and manufacturing if they had s sense of greater certainty regarding the future of world trade for them. Tariffs, on the other hand, could cost the companies all the benefits this transformation could otherwise offer. Hence, they delay the investment required to make this work more quickly and to the benefit of the nation's economy.

Someone (a friend) recently wrote that "The way to predict the future is to invent it". I replied, "The best way to predict the future is to understand the present and the history that led to it". Steep new tariffs has never worked out well for the U.S. And they aren't this time either. A trade deficit is not a bad thing. It is more often a sign that your nation is doing well and can afford the products of other nations. Increasing the cost for other nations to buy your products or increasing the cost of your companies to sell their products abroad is not a policy that works in the long run, as today's sharp increase in PPI suggests, and the stock market's negative reaction to the report.

To be continued (next week).

MMA's annual Forecast book is an astrological-themed almanac that has served students of cycles and markets since 1976.

Its valuable market timing forecasts are based on the historical correlation of market cycles overlapping with geocosmic planetary cycles. Additionally, it provides the three-star critical reversal dates for each market for the year, which have an 80+% accuracy over the years for trading cycle highs and lows when given an orb of three trading days. The book is approximately 250 pages (the largest ever because it's our special 50-year anniversary publication), 8.5" x 11".

EACH FOREIGN EDITION OF THE FORECAST 2026 BOOK 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 2026 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 was issued last week. The first issue was launched some months ago and prepared readers for an imminent decline in the NASDAQ, which started immediately after that report was released.
Wiebke's excellent two-year research papers were based on extensive studies of long-, intermediate-, and short-term cycles in the NASDAQ spot index (not futures). This report differs in style and substance from the other MMA monthly reports (it is more condensed and less technical). It provides an outlook not only for the NASDAQ but also for the QQQ (ETF) and specific technology stocks such as Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, TSLA, and Apple. It will also include unique CRDs (critical reversal dates) specific to the NASDAQ, based on Held'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 the next 20 years and Uranus about to enter Gemini for seven years starting in July 2025. Truly, this will be an exciting report, highlighting many new features of our technology renaissance. This is the future of market timing applications in this "New Aira".
If you want to receive the next issue of this new report, sign up now by clicking here.
If you would like to try a one-month subscription, you can sign up for the January report for only $35 - or save by ordering a three-report or twelve-report subscription. a.

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 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.

SPECIAL ALERT : We are working on a Bitcoin and Ethereum Luar App. Projected release date is late January-February. Stay tuned for information ON HOW TO ORDER.

Note 11 : RECORDINGS OF MMA'S SPECIAL SIX-WEEK COURSE ON "THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GEOCOSMIC STUDIES FOR FINANCIAL MARKET TIMING" ARE NOW AVAILABLE!!!

The course explains which planets and signs rule the various sectors of the economy and financial markets. In addition, it covers how to use an ephemeris and astrological software (Solar Fire) for important routines such as calculating charts, generating transit "hit lists", and identifying signs, ingresses, planetary stations, and aspects - the essential cosmic features necessary for determining market reversal periods.
The course is especially useful for those interested in taking the MMTA4 program, which begins on September 27, or for anyone who wishes to deepen their astrological knowledge. The cost for these six introductory lessons, which last about two hours each, is $300. This is a great opportunity to learn basic astrology from a master economic astrologer!

Furthermore, this broadcast addressed this year's two major geocosmic configurations and how they are impacting global geopolitics, national politics, the war cycle involving the U.S. (and other nations), the renaissance in technology, and the shift from autocratic leadership to more frequent nonviolent protests affecting large populations throughout the world. A look at the geocosmic calendar for 2026 outlines the most important geocosmic critical reversal dates and presents a scenario of where this is all leading in 2026.

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.
