June 16 – 20, 2025

The S&P 500 lost 23 points last week. I was slightly off this week. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  June 16, 2025, to June 20, 2025

Venus is the dasha planet for  June 11 – 15, which occupies the sixth house in the Aries sign. It makes a trine aspect with Mars. As a result, the market may go slightly higher these days.

Sun is the next compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  June 16 – 17, occupying the seventh house in the sign of Taurus. It rules the tenth house and makes a trine aspect with Moon occupying the third house. It conjuncts Uranus. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.

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.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Gemini during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Aquarius. The Moon makes an opposite aspect with Mars and a square aspect with Uranus. The stock market may retreat on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars moves into Virgo, and it makes a square aspect with Uranus. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Mercury is transiting in Cancer. Behind it comes an exalted Jupiter. It makes no aspect with any planet. Wednesday may, therefore, be a directionless day.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just last week. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars. Jupiter is currently weak as it is combust, and it has just entered a new sign. Thursday, may therefore, also be a lower day.

Venus is advancing fast in Taurus, a sign it likes. It does not make any aspect with any planet. Friday may also be a flat day. Saturn has now moved into Aries, which can have a negative effect 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 lower; Tuesday: Slightly lower;  Wednesday: Flat;   Thursday: Slightly lower ;   Friday:  Slightly lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 may go lower this week.

June 09 – 13, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 89 points last week. I was correct this week. 

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. It rules the eleventh house and makes a square aspect with Mars occupying the tenth house. It is surrounded by Venus in the sixth house and Jupiter in the eighth. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.

Ketu is the dasha planet for  June 10, which occupies the eleventh house in the Virgo sign. It makes a trine aspect with the Moon, Uranus, and the Sun. It also makes a square aspect with Jupiter. As a result, the market may go slightly higher on this day.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a square aspect with Uranus while advancing in the sign of Leo. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Mercury has now moved into Cancer. Behind it comes an exalted Jupiter. It makes a sextile aspect with strong Venus. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

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.

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

May 19 -23, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 299 points last week. I could not have been more wrong. The compressed dasha was that of Saturn. I thought it would be bad, but I overlooked its conjunction with exalted Venus. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  May 19, 2025, to May 23, 2025

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from May 17 and will stay effective until June 17, 2025. The month lord is the Sun, which occupies the seventh house in the sign Taurus. It rules the tenth house and makes a conjunction with Uranus. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the tenth house. Mars is strong in the sign of Leo. Mars makes a trine aspect with Venus occupying the Aries sign. It also makes a square aspect with Mercury in the seventh house. This setup is, although neutral, very volatile. Jupiter occupies the eighth house and makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. This is an unfavorable setup. Moon in the third house makes a trine aspect with the Sun and Uranus. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of positive features. This month, therefore, looks only sideways to me.

For the chart and the CVD dates, please look at last week’s page.

 

Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  May 12 -16, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign in the monthly solar return chart. It conjuncts Rahu and Venus, and it makes a trine aspect with fallen Mars in the ninth house. As a result, the market may go lower in these days.

Overall, the S&P 500 may gain a few more points this week.

Aug 31 – Sep 04, 2020

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.
