The S&P500 lost 39 points last week. My forecast this week was slightly off.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of December 16, 2024, to December 20, 2024.
The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for Dec 16 – Dec 17 is Rahu, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Aries. Rahu makes a square aspect with benevolent Venus in the sixth house and the Moon in the twelfth house. Consequently, the market may remain flat during these days.
A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from December 18 and will stay effective until January 15, 2025. The month lord is Mars, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Leo. Mars gets the aspect of Venus. Moon also occupies the 5th, along with Mars in the sign Leo. This setup should give good results. Retrograde Jupiter occupies the third house and aspects Venus in the 11th house and Mercury in the ninth house. This is also a desirable setup. Saturn aspects Mercury and makes a square aspect with Jupiter. This T-square arrangement can only give inauspicious results. Moon gets the aspect of Venus. This is a positive feature. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of positive features. This month, therefore, looks only positive to me.
The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for Dec 18 – Dec 22 is Mercury, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Sagittarius. Mercury gets the aspect of Jupiter in the third house and Saturn in the twelfth house. It also makes a trine arrangement with Mars and Moon in the fifth house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but may end up going higher.
Transits during this week: Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Mercury and Saturn are direct now. Jupiter aspects Mercury in Sagittarius and Venus in the sign Aquarius. These aspects are favorable. Saturn makes square aspects with transiting Mercury and Jupiter. These aspects are not favorable. Venus moves into Aquarius, which is a favorable sign for it. It makes an opposite aspect with retrograde Mars, which is not favorable. Mars transits in powerful Leo, making a trine angle with Mercury transiting in Sagittarius, which is a favorable setup. The Sun is advancing in Sagittarius this week, along with Mercury. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter. Moon transits Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The tithis of the Moon (Krishna Paksha second to sixth) correspond to the third quarter, which is not helpful for the market.
Combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior to be the following.
Monday: Slightly higher; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Slightly higher; Thursday: Slightly lower; Friday: Slightly higher.
