A few weeks ago, I changed the format of this page. Instead of giving daily predictions, I am now writing about the shorter periods of the week. The basis is the compressed-vimshottri-dasha (CVD) planet in the monthly Solar return chart (mSRC).
My prediction last week was correct as SP500 gained nearly 100 points, as I was expecting a higher market.
Here is the expected breakdown of the week of August 31, 2020 – September 04, 2020.
The CVD planet for the period August 30 – September 03 is Rahu. Rahu is placed in the 6th house with no aspect from any benefic or malefic planet. This is not a good configuration and could result in a lower market.
The CVD planet for the period September 04 -September 08 is Jupiter. Jupiter rules the 12th house and is situated in the 1st house in the sign Capricorn. Jupiter gets the influence of Venus in the 7th house. This setup is good for the market and can result in higher values for the indexes.
Overall this week the S&P 500 may go LOWER, because the market may be down 4 days and up only 1 day.
The week after that may start with a higher day on September 08, 2020.
Note: This forecast is strictly based on astrological considerations. This is only for academic interest and not intended for trading.

Raj,
Can you take a look at $PRME (Prime Medicine) IPO — 10/20/22
This stock is gaining hype, and with a low price, it could be a great opportunity. Thoughts?
thank you
Anoyancemous
It can do slightly good in 2026. But it may not be able to become a big stock like MRK or BMY, or GILD.

Raj,
What are you seeing for the Feb/March dip? What causes it and what are you expecting?
thank you, hope you’re doing great
Anonymous:
In Feb/March period Mercury will be retrograde and fallen. Earlier, this Mercury has been very bad for stocks. This time, although it has the aspect of strong Jupiter, it can still be slightly bad.
Let us see what happens in this month.

Hello Raj,
Happy New Year!!! Can you please share your thoughts on PLUG.
Thanks,
Rachana
Rachna:
PLUG is a very old company. I tried to forecast its performance many times earlier also, and I failed every time. I can try one more time on your request. I think the second half of 2026 may finally be good for this stock.
Good luck

Hello Pandit Raj:
Namaste Pandit,
Hold and be hold, what a Saturday weekend!!!!!! Of course, we are not dealing with the international political and military ‘victory’ in our stock investments and dealings!!!!! Nonetheless, would you be able to provide some Vedic Astrological prognosis on the next 3 to 4 months of the New York Stock Exchange Market gyration?? I would like to hear from your financial astrological analysis expertise. Thank you very much, Pandit Raj, Francis M.
Francis:
2026 started with a bang. I think we may continue to have ups and downs in the stock market in 2026. I have posted how the stock market can behave in 2026 on the front page of this website. Please take a look.

Hello Pandit Raj:
Namaste, thank you very much for your reply. I did go through your 2026 stock listings, and I’m following them for the year. Out of the blue, I came across the XRP (Bitwise XRP ETF) traded on New York Stock Exchange. I included some bits and pieces from MSN website for your prognosis, please see below,
November 20, 2025
Bitwise XRP ETF Launch
The Bitwise XRP ETF, launched on November 20, 2025, on the NYSE, provides investors with direct exposure to the third-largest crypto asset, XRP. The ETF has a management fee of 0.34%, waived for the first month on the first $500 million in assets. XRP, the digital currency that powers the XRP Ledger, aims to disrupt the market for cross-border payments, a market projected to reach $250 trillion by 2027. The ETF is not suitable for all investors and carries a high degree of risk.

Hare krishna prabhu,
Happy New year to you and all your subscribers.
1) Based on Elon’s Musk horoscope do you think Elon could win Tesla pay package ? Will Elon be able to achieve target set by Tesla board ?
2) Thoughts on President Trump’s health going into 2026 .
Pawan:
Hare Krishna.
Happy New Year to you also.
Elon Musk is running the major period of Jupiter. The sixteen year long period started in 2019. Jupiter occupies the tenth house of career and administration. As far as pay package is concerned, he can get whatever he wants. But it is hard to say if he can achieve the target set by the board. Most likely, he will.
President is also running the major period of Jupiter. The sub-period of Sun starts on 4/14/2026 and ends on 01/26/2027. Jupiter aspects Sun. So his health should be ok in 2026. However, the next sub-period is of Moon, which conjuncts Ketu. Therefore, it is likely that he gets into health problems in 2027.
I wish luck to both of them and you.
Raj Chadha
Jai Shri Ram Dr.Raj and Happy New Year!!
Thank you for your 2026 picks. Would love to hear astrological and your views on $PI and $CSCO
Sam
Sam Sung:
Jai shri Ram. Happy New Year to you also.
CSCO is running period of Sun and subperiod of Mercury. Both planets occupy the first house. So, I think this company will keep on moving forward steadily. IN fact it become popular again in a few years.
Impinj is also ok, but it is running a period of weak Moon. It is therefore a cyclical company. You can do well by trading around it, not holding for the long run.
Good luck
Raj Chadha
Raj,
Wishing you a great New Year
thanks
Thanks
Hi Raj,
SMCI has fallen a lot since the last earnings report. The company explained the situation and gave strong earnings guidance, but the stock is still being punished because of other risks, especially concerns about low margins.
Is there any chance the stock could recover before the next earnings or after the next earnings?
I would appreciate your view based on your experience, and astrology or cycle-based insight.
Thanks
Sandeep
Sandeep:
I am quite sure, this stock would recover sooner than later. I too own this stock. I should have included this in one of the two lists of ten stocks for 2026. But looking at how unpopular this stock is, I did not. But from my astrology point of view, it should come back.
Raj Chadha
Raj,
For smaller stocks, I noticed that your 2026 list includes $DLO… but not $CIFR or $WULF or even $BITF? Why is this?
thank you as always

I cannot include all stocks of your choice in my short list of ten stocks. I have certain criteria to follow. The stocks you mentioned have not made the cut.
