Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P500 lost 39 points last week. My forecast this week was slightly off. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 16, 2024, to December 20, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 16 – Dec 17 is Rahu, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Aries. Rahu makes a square aspect with benevolent Venus in the sixth house and the Moon in the twelfth house. Consequently, the market may remain flat during these days.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from December 18 and will stay effective until January 15, 2025. The month lord is Mars, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Leo. Mars gets the aspect of Venus. Moon also occupies the 5th, along with Mars in the sign Leo. This setup should give good results. Retrograde Jupiter occupies the third house and aspects Venus in the 11th house and Mercury in the ninth house. This is also a desirable setup.  Saturn aspects Mercury and makes a square aspect with Jupiter. 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 positive features. This month, therefore, looks only positive to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 18 – Dec 22 is Mercury, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Sagittarius. Mercury gets the aspect of Jupiter in the third house and Saturn in the twelfth house. It also makes a trine arrangement with Mars and Moon in the fifth house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but may end up going higher.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Mercury and Saturn are direct now. Jupiter aspects Mercury in Sagittarius and Venus in the sign Aquarius. These aspects are favorable. Saturn makes square aspects with transiting Mercury and Jupiter. These aspects are not favorable. Venus moves into Aquarius, which is a favorable sign for it.  It makes an opposite aspect with retrograde Mars, which is not favorable. Mars transits in powerful Leo, making a trine angle with Mercury transiting in Sagittarius, which is a favorable setup.  The Sun is advancing in Sagittarius this week, along with Mercury. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter.  Moon transits Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The tithis of the Moon (Krishna Paksha second to sixth) 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. 

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go higher this week.

The S&P500 gained 58 points last week. My forecast this week was slightly off. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 09, 2024, to December 13, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 04 – Dec 09 is Venus, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Capricorn. Venus gets the aspect of the Moon in the twelfth house. However, although both planets are beneficial, they occupy the inauspicious houses. Consequently, the market may be volatile but unable to find any direction during these days or remain flat.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 10 is the Sun, which occupies the fourth house in the Scorpio sign.  The Sun makes an opposite aspect with Uranus and a trine aspect with Neptune. As a result, the market may go nowhere during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 11 – Dec 13 is the Moon, which occupies the twelfth house in the sign Cancer. Moon gets the aspect of benevolent Venus in the sixth house. It also makes a trine aspect with Saturn. Consequently, the market may go higher towards the end of the week.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Jupiter aspects the Sun and retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius. These aspects are favorable. Saturn has turned direct now.  It also aspects transiting Sun and retrograde Mercury. These aspects are not favorable. Venus moves into Aquarius, which is a favorable sign for it.  It makes an opposite aspect with retrograde Mars, which is not favorable. Mars transits in powerful Leo, making a trine angle with retrograde Mercury transiting in Sagittarius, which is a favorable setup.  The Sun is advancing in Sagittarius this week, along with retrograde Mercury. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter.  Moon transits Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. The tithis of the Moon (Shukla Paksha ninth to thirteenth) correspond to the second 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. 

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go higher this week.

The S&P500 gained 63 points last week. My forecast this week was correct. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 02, 2024, to December 06, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 28 – Dec 02 is Mercury, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Sagittarius. Mercury gets the aspect of benevolent Jupiter in the eleventh house. However, it also gets the malevolent aspect of Saturn. Consequently, the market may be volatile but unable to find any direction during these days or remain flat.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 03 is Ketu. Ketu occupies the third house in the Libra sign.  Ketu makes no aspect with any planet and no benefit planet aspects it. As a result, the market may go lower during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Dec 04 – Dec 09 is Venus, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Capricorn. Venus gets the aspect of the Moon in the twelfth house. However, although both planets are benefic planets, they occupy the inauspicious houses. Consequently, the market may be volatile but unable to find any direction during these days or remain flat.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Jupiter aspects Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius. These aspects are favorable. Saturn has turned direct now.  It does not cast its influence on any other transiting planet. Venus transits in Capricorn and makes a trine aspect with retrograde Uranus, which continues to transit through Taurus this week. This is also a favorable aspect. Mars transits in powerful Leo, making a trine angle with Rahu transiting in Aries, which is another favorable setup.  The Sun is advancing in Sagittarius this week, along with retrograde Mercury. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter.  Moon transits Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius. The tithis of the Moon (Shukla Paksha first to sixth) correspond to the first 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. 

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly lower this week.

The S&P500 gained 99 points last week. My forecast this week was correct. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  November 25, 2024, to November 29, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 24 – Nov 27 is Saturn. Saturn rules the seventh house and occupies the eighth house in the Capricorn sign.  Saturn has a square aspect with Jupiter and Mercury. It also makes a trine aspect with the Moon in the twelfth house. This setup may be regarded as neutral. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 28 – Dec 02 is Mercury, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Sagittarius. Mercury gets the aspect of benevolent Jupiter in the eleventh house. However, it also gets the malevolent aspect of Saturn. Consequently, the market may be volatile but unable to find any direction during these days or remain flat.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Jupiter aspects Moon in Libra and Mercury in Sagittarius. Both aspects are favorable. Saturn has turned direct now.  It does not cast its influence on any other transiting planet. Venus transits in Capricorn and makes a trine aspect with retrograde Uranus, which continues to transit through Taurus this week. This is also a favorable aspect. Mars transits in powerful Leo, making a trine angle with Rahu transiting in Aries, which is another favorable setup.  The Sun is advancing in Sagittarius this week, along with retrograde Mercury. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter.  Moon transits Virgo, Libra,  and Scorpio. The tithis of the Moon (Krishna Paksha tenth to fourteenth) 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: Slightly higher; Tuesday: Higher;   Wednesday:  Slightly higher;   Thursday: Closed;   Friday: Slightly higher. 

Overall, the S&P500 may go Higher this week.

The S&P500 lost 125 points last week. My forecasts have not been working lately. I will try to work out the errors. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  November 18, 2024, to November 22, 2024. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from November 18 and will stay effective until December 17. The month lord is Mercury, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Sagittarius. Mercury gets the aspect of Jupiter. This setup should give good results. Mars occupies the first house in the sign Leo and makes a trine aspect with Rahu. This is also a desirable setup. However, three planets occupy the malefic houses. Moon occupies the 12th, Venus the sixth, and Saturn the eighth house. Saturn aspects Mercury and makes a square aspect with Jupiter. It can, therefore, only give inauspicious results. Moon gets the aspect of Venus. This is a positive feature. The Sun and retrograde Uranus are in opposite houses. Combining all of the above, I see both positive and negative features. This month, therefore, looks only neutral, maybe slightly positive to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 18-Nov 19 is Rahu, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Aries. Rahu makes square aspects with Venus in the sixth house and Moon in the twelfth house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but unable to find any direction during these days.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 20 – Nov 23 is Jupiter. Jupiter rules the fifth house and occupies the eleventh house in the Gemini sign.  Jupiter has a square aspect with Saturn and an opposite aspect with Mercury. This setup may be regarded as neutral. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Retrograde Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun is advancing in Scorpio this week, while Mercury moved into Sagittarius on November 03. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter. Venus transits in Capricorn and Mars in Leo. Mars now makes a trine angle with Rahu. Saturn is no longer retrograde. Now, only Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus remain retrograde.  Moon transits Cancer and Leo. The tithis of the Moon correspond to the third quarter, which is not very helpful for the market.

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Slightly higher this week.

The S&P500 gained 267 points last week. My forecast last week needed to be revised. I incorrectly interpreted Mars trine Mars and Jupiter R opposite Venus. Both aspects are highly favorable and not obstructive. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  November 11, 2024, to November 15, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 10 is Ketu, which occupies the 3rd house in the sign Libra. Ketu is a malefic planet but gets the aspect of beneficial Jupiter. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower on this day. Since the market is closed, it is non-consequential.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 12 – Nov 16 is Venus. Venus rules the third house and occupies the fifth house in the Sagittarius sign.  Venus makes a trine aspect with Rahu and an opposite aspect with Moon. This setup may be regarded as positive. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter has now turned retrograde since October 08. Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week and has also been retrograded. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun continues to transit through Scorpio this week, while Mercury moved into Sagittarius on November 03. Mercury thus exchanges signs with Jupiter. Venus moves into Capricorn on November 11, which is a harmonious sign for Venus. Retrogradation of Saturn ends on November 15. Now, only Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus remain retrograde. Mars moved into Leo on November 05, and it continues to make a trine aspect with Mercury. Moon transits Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. The tithis of the Moon correspond to the second quarter, which is also helpful for the market.

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Higher this week.

The S&P500 lost 80 points last week. I was expecting a flat/slightly higher market. Uncertainty about the U.S. presidential election and earnings week hit the market more severely, especially on Thursday. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  November 05, 2024, to November 08, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 01 – Nov 05 is Saturn, which rules the 7th house and occupies the 8th house. Saturn makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the 11th house and a trine aspect with Mercury in the fourth house. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower during these days. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 06 – Nov 10 is Mercury. Mercury rules the second house and occupies the fourth house in the Scorpio sign.  Mercury makes a trine aspect with Saturn. This setup may be regarded as slightly positive. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter has now turned retrograde on October 08. Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week and has also been retrograded. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun continues to transit through Scorpio this week, while Mercury moves into Sagittarius on November 03. Venus has been transiting in Sagittarius since October 18, which is not a very harmonious sign for Venus. It also makes a square aspect with retrograde Neptune in Pisces. Retrogradation of four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, is not a welcome feature. Mars moves into Leo on November 05, but it continues to make a trine aspect with Mercury. Moon transits Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius. The tithis of the Moon correspond to the first 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. 

Monday: Slightly lower; Tuesday: Slightly lower;   Wednesday: Flat;   Thursday: Lower;   Friday: Lower. 

Overall, the S&P500 may go Lower this week.

The S&P500 lost 56 points last week. I was expecting a flat/slightly higher market. I should have considered and included a technical correction after six continuous higher weeks.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  October 28, 2024, to November 01, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Oct 28 – Oct 31 is Jupiter. Moon rules the 5th house and occupies the 11th house in the Gemini sign.  This setup may be regarded as positive. However, Jupiter makes a square aspect with retrograde Saturn and retrograde Neptune. It also aspects the Sun in the third house. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Nov 01 – Nov 05 is Saturn, which rules the 7th house and occupies the 8th house. Saturn makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the 11th house and a trine aspect with Mercury in the fourth house. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower during these days. 

Transits during this week:  Jupiter has now turned retrograde on October 08. Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week and has also been retrograded. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun and Mercury continue to transit through Scorpio this week. Venus has been transiting in Sagittarius since October 18, which is not a very harmonious sign for Venus. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrogradation of four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, is not a welcome feature. Mars remains in Cancer but will move into Leo next week. It is now making a grand trine with Mercury and retrograde Neptune, which is quite a favorable setup. Moon transits Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio, making trine aspects with Jupiter and Mars. The tithis of the Moon correspond to the fourth quarter, which can also help the market.

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Slightly higher this week.

The S&P500 gained 49 points last week. I was also expecting a flat/slightly higher market. The daily forecast could have been better. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  October 21, 2024, to October 25, 2024. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from October 20 and will stay effective until November 17. The month lord is Jupiter, which occupies the 11th house in the sign Gemini along with the Moon. Jupiter gives good results in this house. It makes trine aspects with the Sun in the third house. As a result, it may give highly desirable results. Mars occupies the twelfth house in the sign Cancer, which is not a desirable setup. However, it makes trine aspects with Neptune and a square aspect with the fallen Sun in the third house. It can, therefore, only be regarded as slightly negative. Saturn is retrograde and occupies the eighth house. It can, therefore, only give inauspicious results. Moon occupies the eleventh house in the sign Gemini and gets the aspect of Venus in the fifth house. This is a positive feature. Combining all of the above, I see positive features dominating negative features. This month, therefore, looks only good to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Oct 20 – Oct 21 is the Moon. Moon rules the 12th house and occupies the 11th house in the Gemini sign.  This setup may be regarded as positive. However, the Moon gets the aspect of Venus. Both planets are beneficial planets. As a result, the market may go higher during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Oct 22 – Oct 23 is Mars, which rules the 9th house and occupies the 12th house. Mars is fallen and makes a square aspect with the fallen Sun in the third house. It also makes a trine aspect with Neptune. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower during these days. 

The next CVD planet is Rahu, and it acts from Oct 20 – Oct 21. Rahu occupies the 9th house in the Aries sign.  It makes trine aspects with Venus and sextile aspects with the Moon in the eleventh house. Both Moon and Venus are benefic planets. As a result, the market may go higher during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter has now turned retrograde on October 08. Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week and has also been retrograded. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun will advance into Scorpio this week. Venus has been transiting in Sagittarius since October 18, which is not a very harmonious sign for Venus. Mercury has turned direct and moved into Scorpio since Oct 14. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrogradation of four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, is not a welcome feature. Mars remains in Cancer, the sign of its fall. It is now making trine aspects with Mercury and retrograde Neptune. Moon transits Gemini, Cancer, and Leo, making contact with Jupiter and Mars. However, a grand trine between Mercury, Saturn, and Moon can help the market.

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Slightly 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.
