Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 108  points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher. This week, even the daily forecast was right on the dot.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  January 12, 2026, to January 16, 2026. 

Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for January 11 – 16. Saturn occupies the ninth house and is conjunct Neptune. This couple is malefic in nature. However, they are blessed by a strong Jupiter sitting in the ascendant. As a result, the market may go slightly higher in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Capricorn, a sign in which it gives good results. On Monday (Jan 12), the Moon transits through Scorpio, a sign of its fall. The Moon makes quite a trine aspect with Rahu. The stock market may, therefore, go slightly higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (Jan 13), Mars comes close to the Sun, which makes it combust. However, it gets the blessing of exalted Jupiter. So, Tuesday may also be a flat or slightly lower day for the markets.

The Moon moves into Sagittarius on Wednesday. Mercury now forms a close conjunction with Mars.  Wednesday (Jan 14) may therefore be a slightly flat or lower day.

On Thursday (January 15), Jupiter makes an opposition aspect with the Sun, Mars, and Mercury. Thursday may also be a slightly higher day

Venus is transiting in Capricorn and is conjunct the Sun, Mars, and Mercury.  All these planets make a trine aspect with Uranus in Taurus. Friday (Jan 16) may therefore be a slightly higher day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move Higher this week. 

The S&P 500 lost 71  points last week. I was expecting it to go higher. I was expecting next week to be lower. I think the two weekly forecasts got switched, as I now expect the current week to be higher. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  January 05, 2026, to January 09, 2026. 

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for January 03 – 06, 2026. Rahu occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces. It forms a square aspect with Moon and Mercury occupying the sixth house. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower in these days.

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for January 07 – 10. Jupiter occupies the first house and is exalted. It aspects both Saturn and Neptune present in the ninth house. The presence of strong Jupiter in the ascendant makes it a strongly benefic planet. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Capricorn, a sign in which it gives good results. On Monday (Jan 05), the Moon transits through Leo, a sign of its friend, the Sun. The Moon makes no close aspect. The stock market may, therefore, go slightly higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (Jan 06), Mars gets the close company of the Sun, which makes it combust. However, it gets the blessing of exalted Jupiter. So, Tuesday may also be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon moves into Virgo on Wednesday. And it now forms a close conjunction with Ketu.  Wednesday (Jan 07) may therefore be a slightly lower day.

On Thursday (January 08), the Moon transits in Virgo, where it makes a trine aspect with Sun, Mars, and Venus. Thursday may also be a slightly higher day

The Moon is advancing in Libra on Friday. Venus is transiting in Capricorn and is in opposition to Jupiter.  Friday (Jan 09) may therefore be a slightly higher day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move Higher this week. 

The S&P 500 gained 95  points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 29, 2025, to January 02, 2026. 

The dasha planet for December 29 is Sun, which occupies the sixth house in the signSagittarius. The Sun makes a square aspect with Saturn and Neptune occupying the ninth house. As a result, the market may go slightly lower during these days.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for December 30 – 31. Moon occupies the sixth house in the sign Sagittarius, and it is widely conjunct Venus. It also makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. Consequently, the market may go slightly lower in these days.

Mars is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for January 01 – 02, 2026. Mars occupies the seventh house in the sign Capricorn, and it is exalted. It also makes no aspect with any planet. Consequently, the market may go slightly higher in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Capricorn, a sign in which it gives good results. On Monday (Dec 29), the Moon transits through Taurus, a sign where it gains its strength. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Venus. The stock market may, therefore, go higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (Dec 30), the Moon remains exalted. It makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter. So, Tuesday may also be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon moves into Gemini on Wednesday. And it now forms a wide trine aspect with Venus.  Wednesday (Dec 31) may therefore be a flat day.

On Thursday (January 01), the market is closed for the New Year.

The Moon is advancing in Cancer and will oppose Mercury on Friday. It also makes an adverse aspect with Pluto. Although Moon is in Cancer, Friday (Jan 02) may therefore be a lower day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

Monday: Slightly higher; Tuesday: Higher; Wednesday: Flat;   Thursday: CLOSED; Friday: Lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move slightly higher this week. However, I see some challenges the following week (Jan 05 -09, 2026).

The S&P 500 gained 14  points last week. I was expecting it to go higher.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 22 to December 26, 2025. 

The dasha planet for December 21 – December 22 is Ketu, which occupies the third house in the sign Virgo. Ketu makes a square aspect with Mercury occupying the sixth house. As a result, the market may go slightly lower during these days.

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for December 23 – 27. Venus occupies the sixth house in the sign Sagittarius, and it is widely conjunct the Moon. It also makes a square aspect with Saturn. Consequently, the market may remain undecided in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Sagittarius, a friendly sign. On Monday (Dec 22), the Moon transits through Capricorn, a sign where it loses its strength. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Uranus and a sextile aspect with Neptune. The stock market may, therefore, go higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (Dec 23), the Moon moves on to Aquarius. It makes a sextile aspect with Mercury. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon continues to move in Aquarius on Wednesday. And it now forms a square aspect with Uranus.  Wednesday (Dec 24) may therefore also be a lower day.

On Thursday (Dec 25), the market is closed for Christmas.

The Moon is advancing in Pisces and will get quite close to Saturn on Friday. It also makes a sqaure aspect with Mercury and a trine aspect with Jupiter. Moon exchanges signs with Jupiter, which is bullish. Friday (Dec 26) may therefore be a flat day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

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

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

The S&P 500 lost 50  points last week. I was also expecting it to go slightly lower.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 15 to December 19, 2025. 

The dasha planet for December 13 – December 17 is Rahu, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Pisces. Rahu makes a trine aspect with Moon and Venus occupying the first house. It also makes a wide square aspect with Mars in Sagittarius in the second house. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from December 19 and will remain in effect until January 17, 2026. The month lord is Jupiter, which occupies the first house in the sign Cancer. Jupiter is exalted and exchanges signs with the Moon. It is, therefore, quite favorable. It also affects Saturn occupying the ninth house. This is also a favorable setup for the stock markets. The Sun is moderately strong in Sagittarius, although it occupies the sixth house. This is a neutral feature. The critical planet, Mars, is exalted in Capricorn, and it occupies the seventh house. This is a neutral feature. Uranus is retrograde and makes sextile aspects with Neptune and Saturn. This is not good for stocks this month. Combining all of the above, I can say that the market may rise strongly this month.

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for December 18 – 21. Mercury occupies the sixth house in the sign Sagittarius, and it is widely conjunct the Moon. It also makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. Consequently, the market may remain undecided in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Sagittarius, a friendly sign. On Monday (Dec 15), the Moon transits through Scorpio, a sign where it loses its strength. The Moon makes no close aspect. The stock market may, therefore, remain flat on Monday.

On Tuesday (Dec 16), the Moon continues to transit in Scorpio. It makes a trine aspect with Jupiter and Saturn. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon moves on to Sagittarius on Wednesday. And it now makes trine aspects with Jupiter and Neptune.  Wednesday (Dec 17) may therefore also be a higher day.

On Thursday (Dec 18), the Moon continues its journey in Sagittarius. It is in conjunction with Mercury and approaches Venus. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

The Moon is advancing in Sagittarius and will get quite close to Venus on Friday. It also makes a square aspect with Saturn. Moon exchanges signs with Jupiter, which is bullish. Friday (Dec 13) may therefore be a higher day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move Higher this week.

The S&P 500 gained 21  points last week. I was also expecting it to go slightly higher.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 08 to December 12, 2025. 

The dasha planet for December 08 – December 09 is the Sun, which occupies the first house in the sign Scorpio. The Sun makes a trine aspect with Jupiter occupying the ninth house and Saturn occupying the fifth house. It also makes an opposition aspect with Uranus in Taurus. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for December 10 – 11. Moon occupies the first house in the sign of Scorpio, and it is conjunct Venus. It also makes a trine aspect with Rahu. Although the Moon is fallen, under the influence of Venus and Rahu, it may give positive results. As a result, the market may rise slightly in these days.

The next planet in the Vimshottri order is Mars. Mars occupies the second house in the sign Sagittarius, and it makes a square aspect to Rahu and Ketu. Consequently, the market may move lower on Friday. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Sagittarius, a friendly sign. On Monday (Dec 08), the Moon transits through Leo. The Moon makes a trine aspect to Venus. The stock market may, therefore, advance a little on Monday.

On Tuesday (Dec 09), the Moon continues to transit in Leo. It makes a trine aspect with its friend, the Sun. So, Tuesday may also be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon moves into Virgo now. And it has no close aspect with any planet.  Wednesday (Dec 10) may therefore also be a slightly lower day.

On Thursday (Dec 11), the Moon continues its journey in Virgo. It makes a square aspect with Venus and the Sun in Sagittarius. It also makes an opposition aspect with Saturn. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly lower day.

The Moon is on the edge of Virgo and Libra on Friday. It makes a square aspect with Mars and an opposition aspect with Saturn. Friday (Dec 12) may therefore be a lower day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move lower this week.

The S&P 500 gained 247  points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher. This time, even my daily forecast was on the dot. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  December 01 to December 05, 2025. 

The dasha planet for December 01 – December 02 is Ketu, which occupies the eleventh house in the sign of Virgo. Jetu is a malefic planet. But it makes a sextile aspect with Venus occupying the first house. It also makes a square aspect with Mars in Sagittarius. As a result, the market may go slightly lower during these days.

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for December 03 – 07. Venus occupies the first house in the sign of Scorpio. It is conjunct the Moon, and it makes a trine aspect with Rahu. Under the influence of three benefic planets, Rahu also gives positive results. As a result, the market may rise in these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Sagittarius, a friendly sign. On Monday (Dec 01), the Moon transits through Aries. The Moon makes a trine aspect to Mars and a square aspect to Jupiter. The stock market may, therefore, advance a little on Monday.

On Tuesday (Dec 02), the Moon transits Taurus, a sign of its exaltation. It makes no other short-range aspect with any planet. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

The Moon continues to advance in Taurus. But now it makes a sextile aspect with exalted Jupiter and Saturn in the sign, Pisces. It also has an opposition aspect with Mercury.  Wednesday (Dec 03) may therefore also be a slightly higher day.

On Thursday (Dec 04), the Moon into Gemini. It makes a square aspect with Rahu in Pisces and Ketu in Virgo. Being a full moon day, it also makes an opposition aspect with the Sun. Thursday, therefore, may be a lower day.

The Moon is advancing in Gemini. It makes an opposition aspect with Mars, and a square aspect with Saturn. Friday (Dec 05) may therefore be a lower day. 

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to move 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.
