The S&P 500 lost 31 points last week. I also expected it to go slightly higher.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of March 02, 2026, to March 06, 2026.
The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is February 28 – March 03. Saturn occupies the eighth house in the sign Ariess and is conjunct Neptune. Saturn is a malefic planet and is utterly weak. This may cause the market to go down.
Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for March 04 – March 08. Mercury occupies the seventh house in the sign Pisces. Pisces is Mercury’s weakest dign. Fortunately, it gets the beneficial aspects of exalted Jupiter sitting in the eleventh house. As a result, the market may go sideways during these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting in Pisces, a sign of its friend, Jupiter. On Monday (March 02), the Moon transits in Virgo and forms an opposite aspect with Mars. The stock market may go lower on Monday.
On Tuesday (March 03), the planets that form the closest aspect are Jupiter and the Sun. Jupiter is exalted and forms a trine aspect. So, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.
The aspect that is closest occurs between Uranus and the Moon on March 04. The aspect is the beneficial trine aspect. Moon also forms an opposite aspect with exalted Venus. March 04 may therefore also be a higher day.
On Thursday (March 05), an exalted Jupiter forms an exact trine aspect with the Sun. This setup is positive. However, Mercury is now retrograde and totally combust. This is negative. Thursday may be a slightly volatile day that could end in any direction.
The aspect between Jupiter and the Sun remains the closest. And Mercury remains retrograde and moving into the Sun. Friday (March 06) may therefore be another wild day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.
Monday: Lower; Tuesday: Higher; Wednesday: Higher; Thursday: Flat/sideways; Friday: Flat/sideways.
