Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P500 gained 175 points last week. My forecast this week was not correct.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  January 20, 2025, to January 24, 2025. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from January 16 and will stay effective until February 14, 2025. The month lord is the Sun, which occupies the 4th house in the sign Capricorn. Mars, the critical planet, is situated opposite to it.  Mars is retrograde and is in the fallen sign, Cancer. This setup is very unfavorable. Moon also occupies the 12th house in the sign Virgo. Moon is opposite Venus and Saturn, and they occupy the sixth house. This setup is also not favorable. Retrograde Jupiter occupies the 9th house and makes square aspects with Venus, Saturn and Moon. This is a desirable setup. This T-square arrangement can only give inauspicious results. Moon gets the aspect of Venus. This is a positive feature. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of negative features. This month, therefore, looks only slightly bearish to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Jan 17 – Jan 21 is Venus, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Pisces. Venus gets the aspect of Moon in the twelfth house and Saturn sits close to it. It also makes a square arrangement with retrograde Jupiter in the ninth house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but may end up going higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Jan 22 – Jan 23 is the Sun, which occupies the fourth house in the sign Capricorn. It also has a opposite aspect with Mars occupying the tenth house, which is also an unfavorable aspect. However, it makes a trine aspect with Uranus. Consequently, the market may remain flat during these days.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Mars also turned retrograde three weeks ago and now transiting in its sign of fall, Cancer. It makes a sextile aspect with retrograde Uranus. Even then, the maleficent influence of fallen and retrograde Mars cannot benefit the markets. Saturn makes a square aspect with transiting Jupiter. This aspect is not favorable. Venus is transiting in Pisces, which is a favorable sign for it. And it makes a sextile aspect with Mercury.  This situation is highly favorable. The Sun is advancing in Aquarius this week. Mercury is moving fast in the sign Capricorn, a friendly sign. Moon transits Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius. The tithis of the Moon (Krishna Paksha seventh to eleventh) correspond to the fourth quarter, which is quite helpful for the market.

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly higher or remain flat this week.

The S&P500 lost 121 points last week. My forecast this week was not correct.  The dominance of retrograde Mars screwed so many things, let alone fires in Los Angeles.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  January 13, 2025, to January 17, 2025. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Jan 13 – Jan 17 is Saturn, which occupies the twelfth house in the sign Pisces. Saturn is a malefic planet; being placed in an inauspicious house makes it more malefic. It also has a square arrangement, with Jupiter occupying the third house, which is also an unfavorable aspect. Consequently, the market may go lower during this week.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Mars also turned retrograde two weeks ago and now entered its sign of fall, Cancer. It makes a sextile aspect with retrograde Uranus. Even then, the maleficent influence of fallen and retrograde Mars cannot benefit the markets. Saturn makes a square aspect with transiting Jupiter. This aspect is not favorable. Venus is transiting in Pisces, which is a favorable sign for it. But it makes no aspect with any planet yet.  The Sun is advancing in Capricorn this week. Mercury also steps into Capricorn, a friendly sign. Moon transits Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The tithis of the Moon (full Moon to fourth of dark half) correspond to the third quarter, which is not helpful for the market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go 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.
