Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 150 points last week. I was expecting it to retreat. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of August 11, 2025, to August 15, 2025. 

The dasha planet for  August 09 – 11 is Mercury, which occupies the tenth house in the Leo sign. It makes a square aspect with the exalted Moon in the seventh house and a sextile aspect with Venus in the eighth house. As a result, the market may go volatile and end slightly higher during these days.

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  August 12. Ketu is a maleficent planet, and it occupies the eleventh house along with Mars. Itmakes a trine aspect with exalted Moon. As a result, the market may go slightly lower on this day.

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  August 13 – 17. Venus is a benefic planet, but it makes a square aspect with Mars and Ketu. It is fallen and retrograde. As a result, the market may remain flat or go sideways in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Leo during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Pisces. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Jupiter and Venus. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Libra. It also makes a trine aspect with Uranus in the Gemini sign. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become direct. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars in the third house and Uranus in the first house. Wednesday may, therefore, also be a slightly higher day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been providing hope in the stock market. Venus has now crossed Jupiter. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus is now transiting Cancer. It is making a conjunction with exalted Jupiter. Although everything looks good for Friday, the market may go slightly lower. It is because of the effect of Saturday. Saturn has now moved into Aries and has turned retrograde. It will be opposed by Mars entering Libra. The opposition aspect of two malefic planets can cause some harm to 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 higher;   Friday: Slightly lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to go sideways or end flat this week.

Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become retrograde. It makes a trine aspect with a combination of fallen Saturn and Neptune. Both Saturn and Neptune are retrograde. Wednesday may, therefore, also be a lower day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been providing hope in the stock market. Venus is also now closing in on Jupiter. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus is now transiting Cancer. It is making a conjunction with exalted Jupiter. Although everything looks good for Friday, the market may go slightly lower. It is because of the effect of Saturday.

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.

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.

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.

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  June 29 – 30, occupying the fifth house in the sign Virgo. It makes a square aspect with the Sun occupying the second house. It makes a trine aspect with Uranus also. As a result, the market may remain unchanged during these days.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just two weeks ago. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars. Jupiter is now strong, but it is in a state of combustion, being very close to the Sun. Thursday, may therefore, also be a slightly higher day.

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the daily behavior of the stock market to be as follows. 

Monday: Flatr; Tuesday: Slightly higher;  Wednesday: Slightly higher;   Thursday: Slightly higher;   Friday: closed  .

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to advance slightly 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.
