The S&P 500 gained 15 points last week. I was expecting it to go slightly higher.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of August 25, 2025, to August 29, 2025.
Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for August 23 – 27. Saturn is a malefic planet, and it makes an opposition aspect with Mars. It is fallen and retrograde. As a result, the market may go slightly lower in these days.
The dasha planet for August 28 – 30 is Mercury, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Leo. It makes a trine with the Saturn and Neptune in the first house. As a result, the market may go volatile and end higher during these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun has now moved into Virgo. On Monday, the Moon transits through Virgo. The Sun makes a sextile aspect with exalted Jupiter. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Libra. It also makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the Cancer sign. So, Tuesday may be a flat day for the markets.
Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become direct. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars in the third house. Wednesday may, therefore, also be a slightly higher day.
Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been providing hope in the stock market. It makes a square aspect with Mars in Libra. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.
Venus is now transiting Leo. It makes a trine aspect with retrograde Saturn in Aries and retrograde Neptune. Friday, therefore, may be a flat 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: Flat; Wednesday: Slightly higher; Thursday: Slightly higher; Friday: Flat.
