Aug 31 – Sep 04, 2020 - Stockastrologer - Financial Astrology

A few weeks ago, I changed the format of this page. Instead of giving daily predictions, I am now writing about the shorter periods of the week. The basis is the compressed-vimshottri-dasha (CVD) planet in the monthly Solar return chart (mSRC).

My prediction last week was correct as SP500 gained nearly 100 points, as I was expecting a higher market.

Here is the expected breakdown of the week of August 31, 2020 – September 04, 2020.

The CVD planet for the period August 30 – September 03 is Rahu. Rahu is placed in the 6th house with no aspect from any benefic or malefic planet. This is not a good configuration and could result in a lower market.

The CVD planet for the period September 04 -September 08 is Jupiter. Jupiter rules the 12th house and is situated in the 1st house in the sign Capricorn. Jupiter gets the influence of Venus in the 7th house. This setup is good for the market and can result in higher values for the indexes.

Overall this week the S&P 500 may go LOWER, because the market may be down 4 days and up only 1 day.

The week after that may start with a higher day on September 08, 2020.

Note: This forecast is strictly based on astrological considerations. This is only for academic interest and not intended for trading.

Hi Raj,

How deep do you expect the downside of July to be?
How do you currently see 2027? Is it going to be another year of high volatility? Recession?

Thanks

Pawan:
As per my astrological analysis, the correction between July 17 and August 15 can be of the order of 5-10%. Let us see! I have not worked on 2027 yet. I will post it as soon as I can.

Hello Raj,

In the past several months you estimated that we’ll start seeing MSFT recovering their losses. The stock continues sliding downwards. Do you see this direction continues in the upcoming months?
In retrospective, do you see high correlation between their good periods and low periods since their IPO?

Bharath:
MSFT has a strong Jupiter in the ascendant. It had a bad year when Jupiter was transiting Cancer as the sign is weak in the chart. Jupiter is about to move into Leo next week. It transit in a sign for about a year. I think MSFT will good during this period.
Let us see.

Yearly Forecast for

2026: Chaotic, but end flat

My forecast for 2025 was correct. The S&P500 rose from 5800 to approximately 6800. My monthly forecast was right for many months and wrong for one or two. The monthly forecasts for 2026 are posted in the sidebar under the title "S&P500 Monthly Forecasts". Please note that I expect 2026 to be much more chaotic than 2025. Saturn and Mercury will fall and retrograde during the first quarter, followed by a conjunction of Mars and Saturn in the second quarter. Both Saturn and Mars will fall in the third quarter. Consequently, there can be a few corrections of the order of 8-10%, but the year could still end up flat for the S&P 500 due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars and the strength of Venus in the last quarter.
The picture above depicts how the S&P 500 could behave in 2026, though I am not sure how much of it will actually materialize. Still, it is worth keeping in mind. This chart is based on monthly solar return charts, so there is only a single flat line for that month, but there may be significant volatility during that month. This chart shows that we may move up and down in 2026, but may end up unchanged. However, one needs to be careful during the periods Feb 17-March 16, July 17-Aug 16, and Oct 17-Dec 16, 2026.

Monthly Forecast

June 18 - July 18: Sideways/Flat

July 19 - Aug 19: Lower

During the period (05/18/2026 - 06/17/2026), the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P500, moved higher from 7400 to 7420. I was also expecting a slightly higher month.

The U.S. stock market is likely to move sideways during the period (Jun 18, 2026, to Jul 18, 2026), with a slight upward bias. Venus is closest to the Ascendant degree, and it is placed in Leo, a sign ruled by its enemy, the Sun, which weakens its influence. Neptune is also close to the Ascendant and occupies the ninth house, a supportive placement. The closest major aspect is a trine between the Moon in Leo and Saturn in its sign of fall. While trines are usually beneficial, Saturn's weakness reduces the positive impact of this aspect. Taking all factors into account, the outlook appears neutral to mildly positive. Therefore, the stock market may remain largely range-bound, with the possibility of modest gains.

The U.S. stock market may trend lower during next period (July 19 - Aug 18). The primary negative factor is fallen Saturn on the fourth-house cusp. Saturn squares retrograde Mercury and opposes the Moon in Libra, creating a highly unfavorable pattern. Mars is placed in Gemini, a sign ruled by its enemy Mercury, and occupies the sixth house. In addition, weak Mars and weak Venus form a square, adding further downside pressure. Although Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter form a supportive configuration, their positive influence is unlikely to offset the weakness of Saturn, Mars, and Venus. Considering all factors together, this solar month appears likely to be volatile and end lower.
