Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 37 points last week. I was expecting it to retreat a bit this week. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 21, 2025, to July 25, 2025. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from July 19 and will stay effective until August 18, 2025. The month lord is the Moon, which occupies the seventh house in the sign Taurus. It rules the ninth house. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the eleventh house. Mars has a company of Ketu. Mars makes a square aspect with Venus occupying the Gemini sign.  This setup is extremely negative. Jupiter is exalted, and it occupies the ninth house. This is a favorable setup. Venus occupies the sign of Gemini and is surrounded by the exalted Moon and exalted Jupiter, a highly valuable feature for advancing markets. Combining all of the above, I see both highly favorable and unfavorable features. This month, therefore, appears quite volatile, which could result in a flat or slightly lower close.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 21 – 22, occupying the seventh house in the sign of Taurus. It makes a trine aspect with Mars occupying the eleventh house. It makes a square aspect with Mercury, also. It is a benefic planet making a favorable aspect. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.

Mars is the next dasha planet for  July 23 – 24, which occupies the eleventh house in the Virgo sign. It makes a square aspect with Venus in the eighth house and a trine aspect with the Moon. Mars is also conjunct with Ketu. As a result, the market may go lower in these days.

The next dasha planet for  July 25 – 29 is Rahu, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign. It makes a square aspect with Venus in the eighth house and a trine aspect with the Sun. Rahu is also in a sextile aspect with the Moon. As a result, the market may go volatile and end flat during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Cancer during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Gemini. The Moon conjuncts Venus and makes a square aspect with Mars and Ketu. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Virgo. It is now conjunct Ketu. It also makes a square aspect with Venus transiting Gemini. So, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.

Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become retrograde. It makes no aspect with any planet this week. Wednesday may, therefore, be a flat day.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just a month ago. It now has no connection with any planet. Jupiter is not in a state of combustion anymore. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus is advancing fast in Gemini, a sign it likes. It is making a square aspect with Mars and Ketu. Friday, the market may go lower. Saturn has now moved into Aries and has turned retrograde. This can harm the markets on Friday. 

 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: Slightly higher;  Wednesday: Slightly lower ;   Thursday: Slightly lower ;   Friday: Lower .

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to retreat slightly this week.

Jupiter is the next dasha planet for  July 18, which occupies the third house in the Cancer sign. Jupiter is a benefic planet and is weak because it has just entered the sign. It makes a square aspect with Saturn and a sextile aspect with Mars. As a result, the market may go lower on this day.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Cancer during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Pisces. The Moon trines Jupiter and makes a square aspect with Venus. The stock market may fall on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Virgo, getting closer to Ketu day by day. But it makes an opposite aspect with theMoon. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Mercury is now in the middle of Leo, and getting ready to be retrograde this week. It makes a sextile aspect with Venus this week. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just a month ago. It makes a square aspect with retrograde Neptune. Jupiter is not in a state of combustion anymore. Thursday, therefore, may be a flat day.

Venus is advancing fast in Gemini, a sign it likes. It is making a sextile aspect with retrograde Mercury. Friday, the market may go slightly higher. Saturn has now moved into Aries and has turned retrograde. This can harm the markets on Friday.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from June 18 and will stay effective until June 18, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the first house in the sign Taurus. It rules the sixth house. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the fifth house. Mars is weak as its longitude is just half a degree. Mars makes a square aspect with Uranus occupying the Taurus sign.  This setup is negative. Jupiter is exalted and it occupies the third house, making a square aspect with fallen Saturn. This is an unfavorable setup. The Moon in the eleventh house forms a square aspect with the Sun. Moon and Jupiter exchange signs, which is a useful feature for advancing markets. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of positive features. This month, therefore, looks only positive to me.

Jupiter is the dasha planet for  June 16 – 19, which occupies the third house in the Cancer sign. It makes a square aspect with Neptune and Saturn. It also makes a sextile aspect with Mars. Most planets are new in their signs, hence weak. Jupiter is also combust. As a result, the market may go slightly lower on these days.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  June 09, 2025, to June 13, 2025. 

Mercury is the next compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  June 05 – 09, occupying the seventh house in the sign of Taurus.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just two days ago. It makes a sextile aspect with Venus. Both Venus and Jupiter are benefic planets, but Jupiter is currently weak as it has just changed signs. Thursday, may therefore, also be a slightly higher day.

Venus is now advancing in Taurus, a sign it likes. It makes a sextile aspect with Mercury. Friday may also be a higher day. Saturn has now moved into Aries, which can have a negative effect on Friday. 

 Combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior to be the following. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 may advance higher this week.

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.
