The S&P 500 declined 204 points last week. I was not right this week because I overlooked the square aspect between Mars and retrograde Mercury, and Mars and Ketu coming closer together.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of November o9, 2026, to November 13, 2026. 

1. Vimshottri periods in the NYSE chart: Mercury/Rahu/Mercury/Saturn until November 19: Stocks can go lower, particularly semis, software and health care stocks.

2. Monthly Solar Return Chart since October 20:

Ketu is next in line in the CVD schemes. Its period runs from November 09. It is in Leo and ot occupies the eighth house along with Mars and Ketu. Ketu is a malefic planet and is weak. Therefore, the stock market may decline. 

Venus is the next planet in the CVD scheme. Its control period runs from November 10 to November 15. It is retrograde, occupies the eleventh house, and is in Scorpio. It is also combust as it is within 6 degrees of the Sun. Although Venus is a benefic planet, it is weak.  Markets can thus remain flat.

3. Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Scorpio, a sign of its friend. On Monday (Nov 09), the Moon transits Scorpio and transits over the Sun. The first Tithi of the dark half is generally unfavorable. As a result, the stock market may go lower.

On Tuesday (Nov 10), the Moon advances in Sagittarius, opposing retrograde Uranus. However, Mars, the weekday planet, conjuncts Jupiter and Ketu. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets. 

On Wednesday (Nov 11), the Moon advances in Sagittarius. It forms a trine aspect with fallen and retrograde Saturn. Wednesday may therefore be a slightly higher day.

On Thursday (Nov 12), the Moon transits in Sagittarius and forms a trine aspect with Jupiter, Mars and Ketu. The net result may be a flat day in the markets.  

On Friday (Nov 13), the Moon transits in Capricorn. It also transits square to Saturn. Friday may be a slightly lower day in the stock market. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

Monday: Lower; Tuesday: Slightly lower; Wednesday: Slightly higher;  Thursday: Flat; Friday: Slightly Lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to be volatile and end lower this week.

The S&P 500 declined 46 points last week. I expected it to remain flat or go higher. However, my daily forecast was off this time because I overlooked the square aspect between Mars and retrograde Mercury. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of November o2, 2026, to November 06, 2026. 

1. Vimshottri periods in the NYSE chart: Mercury/Rahu/Mercury/Jupiter until November 12: Stocks can go higher, particularly gold, financial and health care stocks.

2. Monthly Solar Return Chart since October 20:

Saturn is next in line in the CVD schemes. Its period runs from October 31 to November 03. It is in Aries and is retrograde. Saturn is a malefic planet and is weak. Therefore, the stock market may decline. However, I feel that its effect was already observed last Friday. 

Mercury is the next planet in the CVD scheme. Its control period runs from November 04 to November 08. It occupies the eleventh house, and its sign is Scorpio. It makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the eighth house. Mercury is therefore expected to have only a slight positive effect on the market. Markets can thus rise slightly.

3. Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Scorpio, a sign of its friend. On Monday (Nov 02), the Moon transits Leo and transits over Mars and Jupiter. The ninth Tithi of the dark half is generally favorable. As a result, the stock market may go higher.

On Tuesday (Nov 03), the Moon advances in Virgo, squaring retrograde Uranus. However, the Moon is hemmed between Jupiter and Venus. As a result, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets. 

On Wednesday (Nov 04), the Moon advances in Virgo. It remains hemmed between Venus and Jupiter. Wednesday may therefore be a slightly higher day.

On Thursday (Nov 05), the Moon transits in Libra and forms an opposite aspect with Neptune. The net result may be a flat day in the markets.  

On Friday (Nov 06), the Moon transits in Libra, and its Tithi is the 13th of the dark half, which is generally positive for US stocks. It also transits opposite to Saturn. Friday may be a slightly lower day in the stock market. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

Monday: Higher; Tuesday: Slightly Higher; Wednesday: Slightly Higher;  Thursday: Flat; Friday: Slightly Lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to be volatile and end slightly higher this week.

The S&P 500 declined 0.47%, while the DJIA gained 0.41% last week. I also expected it to remain flat. However, my daily forecast was off this time because I overlooked the combustion of Venus. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of October 26, 2026, to October 30, 2026. 

1. Vimshottri periods in the NYSE chart: Mercury/Rahu/Mercury/Jupiter until November 12: Stocks can go higher, particularly gold, financial and health care stocks.

2. Monthly Solar Return Chart since October 20:

Rahu is next in line in the CVD schemes. Its period runs between October 22-26. Its sign is Aquarius, and it gets the blessings of Jupiter in the Leo sign. The stock market, therefore, may be volatile but ends flat. 

Jupiter is the next planet in the CVD scheme. Its control period runs from October 27 to October 30. It occupies the eighth house, and its sign is Leo. It makes an opposition aspect with the Moon. Mars is thus malefic and slightly weak. The markets can thus go higher.

3. Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Scorpio, a sign of its friend. On Monday (Oct 26), the Moon transits Taurus and receives the Sun’s opposition aspect. The first Tithi of the dark half is generally unfavorable. Venus remains mildly combust. As a result, the stock market may fall slightly.

On Tuesday (Oct 27), the Moon advances in Taurus, squaring Mars and Jupiter, and opposing Mercury. As a result, Tuesday may also be a flat day for the markets. 

On Wednesday (Oct 28), the Moon moves over to Gemini. It conjuncts retrograde Uranus. Wednesday may therefore be a slightly lower day.

On Thursday (Oct 29), the Moon transits in Gemini and forms a trine aspect with strong Venus. The net result may be a higher day in the markets.  

On Friday (Oct 30), the Moon transits in Cancer, and its Tithi is the 5th of the dark 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: Flat; Wednesday: Slightly Lower;  Thursday: Higher; Friday: Slightly Higher.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to be volatile and end slightly higher this week.

2. Monthly Solar Return Chart since October 20:

Rahu is next in line in the CVD schemes. Its period runs between October 22-26. Its sign is Aquarius, and it gets the blessings of Jupiter in the Leo sign. The stock market, therefore, may be volatile but ends higher. 

3. Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Libra, a sign of its fall. On Monday (Oct 19), the Moon transits Aquarius and receives Mars’s opposition aspect. It also squares retrograde Venus. The second soli-lunar quarter is generally favorable. Since the Moon is involved in a T-square, the stock market may fall.

On Tuesday (Oct 20), the Moon advances in Aquarius, squares Mercury and opposes Jupiter. As a result, Tuesday may also be a slightly lower day for the markets. 

On Wednesday (Oct 21), the Moon moves over to Pisces. It makes a trine aspect with retrograde Venus. Wednesday may therefore be a slightly lower day.
