Friday, March 12, 2010: Ray Merriman
Raymond A. Merriman is President of the Merriman Market Analyst, Inc, a market timing advisory service and publisher of research, books, and products in financial market timing since 1981. In the field of finances, he is known as a market analyst and market timer. In the field of Astrology, he is known as a Financial and Mundane Astrologer. As a financial market analyst, Ray edits several financial reports for traders and investors throughout the world. His flagship newsletter is known as the MMA Cycles Report, a monthly report for traders that covers the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P futures, Gold, Silver, Treasury Notes, Euro and Swiss Franc currency, Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, and Crude Oil futures. For shorter-term traders, MMA offers both a weekly and daily update of many financial futures. Several of Merriman’s clients are professional traders who have seats on the various exchanges, or work as traders for large funds. As a professional commodities trading advisor, Merriman is a licensed CTA (Commodities Trading Advisor) through the NFA (National Futures Association) for over 25 years. He has also passed the series 7 and 3 exams while serving as an investment advisor for Prudential Securities, E.F. Hutton, and Paine Webber, 1986-1994. He left the Wall Street firms in 1994 as Accounts Vice President of Retail Commodity futures for Paine Webber, a post he had held for 4 years.
In 1994, Merriman returned to his passion, which is as a Financial Astrologer and researcher. At that time, he commenced writing a series of books showing the correlation between cycles in financial markets and planetary cycles. Previously, in 1982, he had written “The Gold Book: Geocosmic Correlations to Gold Price Cycles,” the first quantitative study ever published on the correlation of planetary cycles (as opposed to lunar cycles) to cycles in a financial market. In 1991, he published the first edition of “The Sun, the Moon, and Silver Market,” showing the correlation of various solar-lunar cycles to the tops and bottoms of filtered waves of at least 3%. But in 1994, he launched an entirely new campaign that first involved a basic primer on Cycles Studies (“Merriman on Market Cycles: The Basics”), then astrology (“Basic Principles of Geocosmic Studies for Financial Market Timing”). These were followed by four volumes of “The Ultimate Books on Stock Market Timing,” a very comprehensive study of the U.S. stock market cycles and its correlation to geocosmic studies, which were written from 1997 through 2005. The fifth and final part of this 5-volume set is expected to be completed in 2010, and will demonstrate the relationship between various technical analysis studies and both geocosmic and cyclical studies in long-term, intermediate-term, and short-term movements in stock indices. Merriman also served as President for the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR, Inc), a non-profit astrology membership organization dedicated to raising standards for the profession of astrology, as well as raising public understanding as to the value of Astrology to society and culture. He served in this role from 1994-2000, and again from 2002-2008.
Friday March 12th, 7:30-9:00PM - FORECASTS 2010 AND THE USA ECONOMY - This presentation will discuss the importance of the “Cardinal Climax,” an unusual planetary pattern that will be in force 2008-2015, with its strongest astrological set up taking place in the summer of 2010. This set up affects the charts of the USA, Barack Obama, and the Federal Reserve. As each of these entities undergoes radical changes, it will also correspond to powerful movements in financial markets and the world economy. Will you be prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that will be present, or at least protect yourself from the potential losses that may also emerge for those not positioned correctly? This is a year in which tremendous profits, or losses, can be realized, mostly related to Jupiter conjunct Uranus cycle which begins in 2010. $10/$15 Members/Non-Members.

Friday April 9th, 7:30-10:00PM - Declination: Why Should You Care? Declination is not just some fancy term to learn for a test. Its real-life effects are readily observable. Every time you watch the sun or moon rise or set, you're having an experience in declination. The Land of the Midnight Sun? That's another example. By the end of this image-driven presentation, you'll be able to declare a planet's declination based on the sign it's in. You'll learn how to anchor the tropical zodiac onto your local horizon using simple principles of declination. We'll see how to use it in chart analysis, too, looking particularly for extreme or "out of bounds" planets. Find out why you should care about declination in this fun and practical presentation! $10/$15 Members/Non-Members.
Saturday April 10th, 1:00-5:00PM - Aspect Patterns All those shocking triangles and squares in the middle of charts - what do they mean? Learn about the major aspect patterns: the stellium, grand trines and kites, T-squares, grand crosses, yods and mystic rectangles. This presentation is aimed at the intermediate student of astrology, and focuses on using elements and modes both to identify these patterns and interpret them. We'll look at plenty of charts to see real-life examples of aspect patterns in action. $20/$25 Members/Non-Members.
Both of these events will be at the Unitarian Universalist Church in the Awareness Room at 4831 E. 22nd St near Swan. All welcome.
