today.
This might be a reflection of the currency and trade talks occurring now (

We'll see what today's news adds to that list.
But keep in mind that this is also a period of time when the progressed U.S. Moon, like the hour hand of a clock, is marking off the end and beginning of a cyclic U.S. pattern as it conjuncts the U.S. Sun and sets off it's natal square to Saturn...so I expect there to be some real long term significance to events now that express that square as well as the "new beginning" that accompanies a lunar return to the natal Sun:
And there's more triggering of that U.S. chart pattern as it is also hit from other angles of the chart as well: (posted previously in the Meeting Rm)
In late Nov./early Dec. in the U.S. chart the progressed Moon will conjunct natal Sun in the 7th Hs. Progressed Venus at 13 degrees Aries (4th Hs) is directly square the natal Sun (7th) and opposing natal Saturn (10th). AND transiting Jupiter will also join this busy T-Square as it conjuncts natal Saturn also during that critical Nov./Dec. period.
I think that T-Square of natal, progressed and transiting planets sets off the U.S. natal Sun square Saturn issues about authority and leadership domestically, form of government, as well as relationships vs. isolationism with other nations.
And let's not forget that Pluto opposes Mars again while transiting Saturn in the 8th Hs. opposes natal 2nd Hs. Pluto at that time.
Lastly, the progressed Mercury is conjunct natal Moon in the U.S. 3rd Hs.
And then there is the more abrupt and brutal Pluto/Mars and Saturn/Pluto oppositions as well, which as you said are significant in their own right.
