Yearly Forecast for

2026: Chaotic, but end flat

My forecast for 2025 was correct. The S&P500 rose from 5800 to approximately 6800. My monthly forecast was right for many months and wrong for one or two. The monthly forecasts for 2026 are posted in the sidebar under the title "S&P500 Monthly Forecasts". Please note that I expect 2026 to be much more chaotic than 2025. Saturn and Mercury will fall and retrograde during the first quarter, followed by a conjunction of Mars and Saturn in the second quarter. Both Saturn and Mars will fall in the third quarter. Consequently, there can be a few corrections of the order of 8-10%, but the year could still end up flat for the S&P 500 due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars and the strength of Venus in the last quarter.
The picture above, depicts how the S&P 500 could behave in 2026, though I am not sure how much of it will actually come to pass. Still, it is worth keeping it in mind. This chart is based on monthly solar return charts, so there is only a single flat line for that month, but there may be significant volatility during that month. This chart shows that we may move up and down in 2026, but may end up unchanged. However, one needs to be careful during the periods Feb 17-March 16, July 17-Aug 16, and Oct 17-Dec 16, 2026. The S&P values shown in the chart are purely guesswork and assume that the value will be 7000 on January 17, 2026. I will correct the range with the real value of S&P 500 on 1/17/2026.

Monthly Forecast

Dec 18, 2025 - Jan 16, 2026: Slightly higher

Jan 17 - Feb 14: Slightly higher

During the period (11/19/2025 - 12/17/2025), the U.S. stock market measured with S&P500 moved higher from 6617 to 6721, although last week not pleasant. I was also expecting a higher month.

The US stock market may go slightly higher during the month (December 18, 2025, to January 17, 2026). Jupiter occupies the first house in the sign Cancer and aspects Saturn in the ninth house. This is a highly favorable feature. The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune makes a square aspect with Venus and Sun present in the sixth house. This is a highly unfavorable scenario. The Moon and Mercury also occupy the sixth house. Mars is exalted in the sevevnth house. Considering everything together, I am of the opinion that this month can be a slightly higher month for the U.S. stock market.

The market may go higher during the period, January 17 to February 14. The critical planet, Mars is in Capricorn and occupies the second house along with Sun and Mercury This is a negative feature. The exalted Jupiter occupying the eighth house and aspects Saturn and Neptune. This setup is slightly favourable. Saturn in the sign Pisces occupies the fourth house and makes a sextile aspect with Uranus, Mars, Mercury and Venus. This is a positive feature. The month-lord Saturn occupies the fourth house along with Neptune. Combining the effects of all features, I think we may have a solar month that could end slightly higher.
