The S&P 500 gained 107 points last week. I expected it to remain flat. I perhaps overlooked the strength of Venus in Cancer.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of June 01, 2026, to June 05, 2026.
The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is May 28 – June 01. Saturn occupies the sign Aries in the third house and forms a sextile aspect with Mercury and the Moon. This may cause the market to go lower.
Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for June 02 – June 05. Mercury is in the sign Gemini and occupies the fifth house. Mercury is strong in this sign, but it also makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. It also forms a sextile to the Sun. As a result, the market may move sideways during this period.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting Gemini, a sign of its friend. It makes a sextile aspect with Saturn in the sign Aries. On Monday (June 01), the Moon transits Sagittarius, and it forms an opposition aspect with Mercury. As a result, the stock market may end flat on Monday.
On Tuesday (June 02), Mars transits in Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a trine aspect with Moon. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.
On Wednesday (June 03), Mercury enters Cancer. It makes a trine aspect with the Rahu in Pisces and a square aspect with Neptune. June 03 may therefore also be a day that ends unchanged.
On Thursday (June 04), exalted Jupiter makes an opposition aspect with the Moon transiting in Capricorn. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.
Venus is now in the middle of Cancer and approaching Jupiter. Venus forms a square with Saturn. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (June 05) may therefore be a slightly higher day.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.
Monday: Flat; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Flat; Thursday: Slightly higher; Friday: Slightly higher.
