The S&P 500 gained 5 points last week. I was expecting it to go slightly lower or remain flat.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of November 17 to November 21, 2025.
Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for November 17 – 18. Moon occupies the first house in the sign of Libra. It is in conjunction with Venus at a distance of 7.5 degrees. It also forms a square aspect with Jupiter. As a result, the market may remain flat during these days.
A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from November 19 and will stay effective until December 17, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the first house in the sign Scorpio. It rules the twelfth house and is conjunct to the Moon. It is, therefore, quite favorable. Jupiter is exalted and is situated in the ninth house. It is strong and affects three planets, including Mercury, the Sun, and Saturn. This is also a favorable setup for the stock markets. The Sun is weak in Scorpio in the first house. This is a neutral feature. The critical planet, Mars, is placed in the second house in the sign Sagittarius. This is also a neutral feature. Uranus makes an opposition aspect with the Sun and retrograde Mercury. This is not good for stocks this month. Combining all of the above, I can say that this month, the market may be able to rise slightly.
The dasha planet for November 19 – November 21 is Jupiter, which occupies the ninth house in the sign of Cancer. Jupiter is a benefic planet, and its presence in the ninth house makes it highly beneficial. It also blesses retrograde Saturn in the fifth house. As a result, the market may go higher these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting in Scorpio, a friendly sign. On Monday, the Moon transits through Libra. The Moon makes a square aspect with retrograde but exalted Jupiter. The stock market may experience a slight decline on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mars, while transiting Sagittarius, passed the retrograde Mercury. It makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. So, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.
Mercury is now turned retrograde and crossed over to Scorpio. It is combust as it has gone very close to the Sun. But it makes a trine aspect with Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter. Wednesday, May, may therefore be a slightly higher day.
Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been continuously supporting the stock market by aspecting many planets. It has turned retrograde now. It also makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and the Sun in Scorpio. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.
Venus moves into Scorpio, a sign of its distaste. It is now making wild aspects with Jupiter and Rahu. Friday, therefore, may be a slightly lower day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the daily behavior of the stock market to be as follows.
Monday: Slightly higher; Tuesday: Lower; Wednesday: Slightly higher; Thursday: Higher; Friday: Slightly lower.
