More on the financial side from World Famous Financial Astrologer Ray Merriman here:
May 8-15 will find Mars in late Aries, conjoining the
NYSE natal Saturn, but opposing its Jupiter/Neptune in Libra. This can propel
another thrust higher in U.S. stocks, or it
can also indicate another sharp
reversal period from the highs formed going into this period. Mars, the god of
war, will next ingress into Taurus on May 18 (one day after the NYSE’s solar
return of May 17) through June 28, which might lead to serious peace
negotiations.
Taurus prefers stability to war. Mars leaving Aries, the sign ruled by Mars
for the prior six weeks and relating to warfare, could bring positive news and
a ceasefire.
Get ready for one of the most powerful geoenomics and geo cosmic signatures for this month will be in effect May 22-28, when the Sun conjoins Uranus in early Gemini for some surprisawe and makes an early translation to the Jupiter convergence of mid-July. That is, the Sun will touch off the powerful 3-year Uranus trine Pluto aspect (creative destruction via innovation) during this time. Additionally, Mars will square Pluto on May 25, and Venus will square Saturn on May 28. Watch for early fireworks then, especially with currencies and the U.S. Treasury market, and a new leader takes over the reins of the Federal Reserve Board. Perhaps a buying opportunity if new lows set in.
Mars square Pluto is also a dangerous signature for attacks,
earth changes but Mars in Taurus should be more toned down. Sudden releases of
tension on the seismic scale are
possible. Memorial Day May 25th will go down in history as historical time.
From Merriman regarding the summer: new lows in Treasuries, and possibly
stocks and metals around that period, could represent an excellent buying
opportunity for traders as we then head into the July 18-25 peak of “irrational
exuberance” versus “hysteria and panic.” With Jupiter entering Leo on June 30th,
just one day after a Full Moon in Capricorn and when Mercury moves retrograde.
Jupiter entering more upbeat, joyful and
creative Leo should start a more social
and party atmosphere than last year.
Afterall Jupiter was in emotional
Cancer during the Saturn/Neptune conjunction.
It will be interesting to see which type of amass psychology will dominate this summer. As in the past we expect that, irrational exuberance comes on the scene first then a mini panic may ensue.
Looking ahead to July 4th the 250th Anniversary of Independence Day. Expect Cosmic Fireworks as Mars conjuncts Uranus in Gemini first @ 11:08 PM PDT on July 3rd then on the 4th @ 2:08 AM EDT. Adding to this excitement, potential for accidents and major surprises is Mars in a brillant and advantageous sextile to Neptune in Aries @ 5:44 PM. Celebrate with care and reach for the stars and spiritual intensity.
