The S&P 500 lost 7 points last week. I also expected it to go slightly lower. My daily forecast was quite accurate this time.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of September 21, 2026, to September 25, 2026.
A new monthly solar return chart will be applicable from September 20 to October 19, 2026. The description of the monthly chart is given on the front page. Visitors interested in the details can look at the front page, the Monthly Forecast section, and Read More… Here I describe only the shorter periods.
Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 20 – 22. Venus occupies the fourth house in the sign Scorpio in the monthly solar chart. Venus is a benefic planet and makes a sextile aspect with the Moon in Capricorn. The market may, therefore, go slightly higher during these days.
Sun is the next in line in the CVD scheme. Its control period runs from September 23 to 24. It occupies the second house, and its sign is Virgo. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars. The markets may be volatile but can remain Flat.
Moon is the next in line in the CVD scheme. Its control period runs from September 25 to 26. It occupies the sixth house, and its sign is Capricorn. It makes a square aspect with Mercury. The markets may be volatile but can go slightly lower.
Transits during this week:
The Sun is now transiting Virgo, a sign of its friend, Mercury. On Monday (Sep 21), the Moon transits Capricorn, and it forms an opposition with Mars. Although the Moon are benefic, the sign it occupies is not favorable. Therefore, the stock market can go slightly lower.
On Tuesday (Sep 22), the Moon advances in Aquarius and opposes Jupiter. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets, as the Moon is weak in this sign but the aspect of Jupiter is beneficial.
On Wednesday (Sep 23), the Moon continues transiting Aquarius. It also conjuncts Rahu. Wednesday may therefore also be a slightly lower day.
On Thursday (Sep 24), the Moon transits in Aquarius and gets an unfavorable aspect from Uranus. The net result may be a slightly lower day in the markets.
On Friday (Sep 25), the Moon advances in Pisces, and its Tithi is the 14th of the bright half, which is generally positive for US stocks. Friday may be a slightly higher day in the stock market.
By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.
Monday: Slightly lower; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Slightly lower; Thursday: Slightly lower; Friday: Slightly higher.
