Here are Ray Merriman's MMA Comments for the Week Begining May 18th , 2009 We are getting a preview of the forthcoming Jupiter-Neptune conjunction now.
On Saturday, May 16, the Sun will square the Jupiter side of this conjunction, and on Sunday it will square Neptune. This is known as a “translation” of the faster moving body (the Sun… well, actually the Earth) to the longer-term planetary signature. Thus the principles of the longer-term aspect will be brought to the forefront. In typical Neptune expression, the stock market has refused to go down sharply. But it doesn’t really soar higher either. It kind of floats around like a helium balloon suspended in the air, waiting for something to push it one way or the other. .”
