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.
Hello Dr. Raj
Happy new year.
Since you are optimistic till Feb 5th, is it safe to assume that you don’t expect Jan 20th Solar eclipse to effect the market in a significant way?
Thanks
Shantanu:
As you perhaps know I use solar return chart to make my predictions for the market. I did not find solar eclipses to make significant contribution towards the market direction. I therefore do not use them in my calculations.

Hi Sir,
As per your predictions of bad 2019 for stocks. Do you suggest selling MSFT and SAP stocks and keeping cash ? is investing in gold a good option instead of stocks ?
Suma:
I have my opinion about the directoin of market. MSFT and SAP are exellent companies. Some people may like to hold them through thick and thin.
I do not buy or sell options.
Good luck

Happy new year to you also. I do believe that 2019 and 2020 could be bad years. I think we are in a relief rally now after bad October, November and December 2018.
This relief rally can go on until first week of February. Let us how it turns out.
I also believe that good days for MU could come after June 2019. AMD, I believe will go up and down without any significant gain or loss.
Good luck

Dr Raj—thank you for your hard work in 2018. My best to you and your family in the new year! Tom
Tom:
Thank you, and happy new year to you.

Dr.Raj,
Wish you a happy new year. I have been following your website for the last year. In general,i feel that you have been right when viewed at a monthly level than day to day — wondering if astrology should be viewed for general direction of the market on a slightly longer scale than day to day — I am taking away that your view for 2019 is negative barring the month of Jan — you think it is better to play it that way and get out. Do you think the market will be choppy or will there an opportunity to short the market post Jan?

Happy new Year. You are right when you say that it is easier to see the direction of the market on a monthly ot yearly basis, rather than daily basis.
I believe not only Jan 2019, but April 2019 may also be good. That is to say the market may go down in a choppy way. I will keep posting as the time goes.
Overall I believe 2019 may produce negative results.
Good luck
Raj Chadha
Thank you Dr.Raj. Good to know about the April positive aspect.
Dr Raj – Wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday season and a great year ahead !
Regards,
Ganesh.
Ganesh:

Raj,
Will the sp500 reach to 2750 by January or Feb max? the market is selling off so I wonder if the market will recover and reach to that point again. Thanks
Mahesh:
As per my system the period of January 2019 should be good and provide us a chance to protect our portfolios for coming bad period upto May 2021.
Good luck

Raj,
Now that the fed have increased the interest rate yesterday and the market is selling off. How long do you think the market will take to be stable and even see slight increase after the bottom is reached. Is it possible to reach around 2800 by January or February 2019 for SP500? Or is it too high expectation? Because by May 2019 I feel it might really start going downward. I am planning to be all cash or bond by Feb. so Please help me to find correct time for laying off instead of now where it is too low.
Nitai:
I sincerely think that we would get a chance to protect our portfolios in January 2019. I am planning to cash as much as I can, because the coming 2019 and 2020 may be bad.
Good luck
Raj Chadha
