In the first week following the geocosmic center mass of the Cardinal Climax, and the first week of the new Mercury retrograde cycle (August 20-September 12), equity markets around the world continued their sell-off, and then appeared to reverse at the very end of the week. Yet what may be more interesting is how many economic leaders are changing their tune about the future of the economy since going through that midsection of the Cardinal Climax, July 21-August 21. Prior to - and even during the early part of that time band - the near-unanimous consensus was that the USA would not have a double dip recession. Now the majority are stating that the odds of a double dip recession have just increased, with some actually calling for an outright double dip recession in the next year. Welcome to Mercury retrograde, on the heels of the Cardinal Climax. You are likely to hear many adjusted and “double message” forecasts about the probability of a “double dip recession” as U.S. Treasuries continue to exhibit a “double bubble trouble” pattern.

 The next series of important geocosmic signatures starts up on September 4. An abundance of signatures will then unfold lasting through Venus retrograde on October 8. Prepare yourself for another roller coaster ride during that 5-week period, for in addition to ending with the powerful Venus retrograde, we will also encounter the second of three Jupiter-Uranus conjunction passages on September 18. These are two of the highest historical correspondences of all geocosmic signatures to primary or greater cycles in equities....

MMA's annual Forecasts Book, written by Raymond A. Merriman since 1976, is one of the most unique, affordable, and accurate glimpses into the coming year. Utilizing the study of cycles and geocosmic factors, this annual Forecasts book outlines forthcoming trends pertaining to political, economic, and financial markets throughout the world. Although 2010 is only approximately half over, several forecasts made in the 2010 book may have been highly accurate. There were some forecasts that did not materialize as well, as of this date. But a very large number did, and they were quite impressive (did any published book make MORE correct forecasts for the year, issued by November 30, 2009?). Below is a list of some of the forecasts made in the 2010 book, as of early August. There were many others that were right on the mark as well, but these will give the reader an idea of what to expect in the Forecast 2011 Book, which will be available for pre-publication ordering by the end of August. We will try to update this as the year continues.

 In the meantime, you may now pre-order the Forecasts for 2011 book at the discounted price of $45.00 plus postage through October 30, 2010. The regular retial price will remain at $55.00 this year. As always, the book will be published and distributed around December 15.
