QUOTE(Ray Merriman)
...we also note that transiting Mars is now entering into a T-square to the natal Mercury-Pluto square of the New York Stock Exchange this week. All of this points to an unstable market climate that is prone to very sharp price reversals. Such instability has proven to be a boon to both currencies and precious metals as forecast.
Monday December 4Exact:
Moon oppose Jupiter at 1:50 am. Positive and toppy.
Mercury square Saturn at 3:10 pm. Worry. Usually a strong enough negative to forge a low, but a wall of worry setup is also possible.
Moon square Uranus at 4:20 pm. Moon-Uranus is volatility within a range, but the square can have a bearish effect. In this case it trigger Sun square Uranus.
Moon oppose Sun at 7:25 pm. Full Moon. Usually price increases going into a Full Moon followed by a let down after it is exact.
In orb:
Sun square Uranus. Change. Can be positive or negative, but often in a way that catches traders off guard. Watch techs in particular.
Saturn trine Pluto. Political repression. In the markets it has been manifesting as a controlled, but tenacious, push upwards in price. I believe this has been one of the dominant aspects of late.
Tuesday December 5Mars enters Sagittarius at 12 am.
Saturn retrograde starts at 11:10 pm.

Moon oppose Venus at 1:10 pm. Bearishness for 1/2 day.

In orb:
Mercury square Saturn.Saturn trine Pluto.Wednesday December 6In orb:
Venus trine Saturn. Self control. Dip buying is likely.
Venus conjunct Pluto. Jealousy. The desire to own what others own, either by paying up or engineering a shake-out. If price is overextended this can be a destructive aspect, but at the time I am writing this, it looks more likely to be reversal off of a swing low.
Saturn trine Pluto.Thursday December 7Exact:
Venus trine Saturn at 2:20 pm. Self control. Dip buying is likely.
Venus conjunct Pluto at 10:50 pm. Jealousy. The desire to own what others own, either by paying up or engineering a shake-out. If price is overextended this can be a destructive aspect, but at the time I am writing this, it looks more likely to be a low.
In orb:
Mercury conjunct Mars. Often action without forethought. Impulsive trading in neither or both directions, often to the point of panic. This can play out geopolitically as verbal threats.
Venus trine Saturn.Mars conjunct Jupiter. Usually a positive for equities. Impulsiveness coupled with expansiveness. Usually an IT trend change within a few days of being exact. Maybe this launches another leg on the current rally.
Saturn trine Pluto.Mercury and Mars conjunct to Jupiter for a few days. QUOTE(Richard Nolle www.astropro.com)
The triple conjunction of Mercury, Mars and Jupiter promises that December will be a dramatic, even explosive month - especially the first fortnight. This bespeaks arguments, conflict and confrontation; a tense time from the individual to the collective levels of human experience. High-stakes gamblers and other adventurers and thrill-seekers (including athletes) push their luck too far at times like this - perhaps to the point of ruin. Accidents, fires, crashes, explosions, assaults and the like always make headlines in this "if it bleeds, it leads" media culture. There will be plenty of material for such headlines this month, particularly around the 5th and 20th. Not to be too alarmed: no Armageddon, no nuclear meltdown, just garden variety mayhem and murder, only thicker and faster than usual. Bite your tongue, watch your back, don't go borrowing trouble. (There's an awkward image.)

If something tragic happened earlier in the day, we will likely see liquidity come in.
