2027: First half challenging, then higher

My forecast for 2026 was correct partly. The S&P 500 rose from 5800 to approximately 7800 and now correcting. My monthly forecast was right for most months and wrong for one or two. I am now updating my views of the remaing two months of 2026 and for the 2027.
My analysis of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) monthly solar-return charts suggests a difficult period for the stock market from late 2026 through spring 2027, followed by a strong recovery in the second half of the year. The accompanying chart illustrates the expected market direction rather than actual S&P 500 index levels.
Planetary transits reinforce this cautious outlook. Mars is currently approaching Ketu, a conjunction associated with disruption. Mars turns retrograde in February 2027 and forms a square aspect with Uranus, suggesting the possibility of sudden market reversals and heightened volatility. Mercury also enters its sign of debilitation, Pisces, during February, adding another potentially unfavorable influence.
In April 2027, retrograde Mars approaches within one degree of Ketu before turning direct. This configuration may coincide with an important market turning point. Interestingly, the NYSE monthly solar-return charts independently suggest that the market could establish a bottom around March–May 2027.
Taken together, these astrological indications suggest continued market weakness during the first several months of 2027, followed by improving conditions beginning around May or June. The second half of 2027 appears considerably more favorable, with the possibility of a sustained advance through December.
This forecast therefore differs from the usual seasonal pattern. It is based primarily on the combination of NYSE solar-return charts and planetary transits, as described in Volume II of my books.
As always, astrology indicates probable market direction rather than precise index levels, and actual market movements may differ from these projections.
The picture above depicts how the S&P 500 could behave between November 2026 and October 2027, though I am not sure how much of it will actually materialize. Still, it is worth keeping in mind.

Oct 20 - Nov 18: Slightly Lower

Nov 19 - Dec 18: Slightly Lower

During the period (09/20/2026 - 10/19/2026), the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P500, moved higher from 7650 to 7690. I was expecting it to go slightly lower.

The U.S. stock market is likely to be volatile during the next solar month (Oct 20 2026, to Nov 18, 2026), with a downward bias. The ascendant is Capricorn, and its ruler, Saturn, is fallen in the fourth house, which in turn aspects the ascendant. The ascendant is therefore weak. This setup is clearly negative. In addition to Saturn, the Sun is also fallen in Libra, and it occupies the tenth house. Moon in Aquarius, and Venus in Scorpio also cannot be considered strong. Two benefic planets Jupiter and Moon aspect each other. This is a positive facotr. The rulers of the third house, Jupiter, and of eleventh house, Mars, occupy the eighth house. This factor is also, therefore, not helpful. Taking all factors into account, the outlook appears negative. Therefore, the stock market may present challenges during this month.
