Market Preview for the week beginning August 29, 2022

Market Preview for the week beginning  August 29, 2022

NOTE: This week’s column will be short and unedited due to my duties (and pleasures) at the ISAR 2022 Conference in Denver, CO. It is great to see so many of you here this weekend! We will return to our normal schedule next week and then off on the weekend of September 9-11 for the MMTA Investment Retreat (see Announcements below as there is still time for last minute registrations for the live or online version of this special event).

 

 

Review and Preview 

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivered a stern commitment Friday to halting inflation, warning that he expects the central bank to continue raising interest rates in a way that will cause “some pain” to the U.S. economy. – Jeff Cox, “Powell Warns of ‘Some Pain’ Ahead as the Fed Fights to Bring Down Inflation,” www.cnbc.com , August 26, 2022.

The Fed spoke and the markets broke.

After forming a half-primary cycle crest the prior week as the Sun made a T-square with Saturn and Uranus, followed by the Venus/Jupiter trine, stocks sold off into the Uranus retrograde of Wednesday, August 24. They then staged a 2-day rally into Friday August 26, as Venus moved into its T-square with Saturn and Uranus (August 26-29).

And then the Fed spoke. Uranus awoke. And then stock markets broke. By the end of the day (August 26), the DJIA closed down over 1000 points, and its lowest level this month. Just two weeks ago it was at its highest level since April. This is the volatility and sudden reversals to be expected from the unexpected nature of multiple Uranus signatures in effect at once. This is the lightning bolt and pain that Uranus can afflict. First you are up, then you are upside down. There’s a whole lotta’ shakin’ goin’ on as August comes to an end, just as we suspected.

This series of powerful geocosmic signatures ends as the pre-market opens Sunday evening with Venus in opposition to Saturn. And what do we know about hard aspects between Venus and Saturn? Any market declining into this aspect is a candidate for a low and a rally to follow. In short, a buy candidate, assuming your intraday indicators support a reversal.

That’s it for this week. Enjoy the week ahead, be careful with the new Moon square Mars Friday night, early Saturday, and be prepared to be inspired under the innovative, inspirational, but disruptive nature Uranus changing directions near the Moon’s North Node.

Disclaimer & State 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 Schogt Market Timing & 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.
