Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P500 recovered 289 points of the 506 lost a week ago. I was expecting a flat market. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  April 14, 2025, to April 18, 2025. 

Mars is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 13 – April 14, occupying the first house in the sign Cancer. Thus, Mars is weak. It makes a trine aspect with combust Saturn occupying the ninth house.  The stock market,  therefore, may go lower on this day. 

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 15, which occupies the ninth house in the Pisces sign. It conjuncts with Saturn and the Sun. As a result, the market may remain flat on this day. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from April 16 and will stay effective until May 16, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Pisces. It rules the twelfth house and makes a conjunction with Saturn and Rahu. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the ninth house. Mars is no longer retrograde, but it is in the fallen sign, Cancer. Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Rahu occupying the Pisces sign. This setup is not favorable. Jupiter occupies the eighth house and makes a square aspect with Saturn and Venus. This is also a neutral setup. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of both negative and positive features. This month, therefore, looks only sideways or slightly bearish to me.

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 16 – April 20, occupying the sixth house in the sign Aries. Mercury gets weak in this sign.  It conjuncts Neptune, Saturn, and Rahu. The stock market,  therefore, may go lower during these days. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun advances in its sign of exaltation, Aries, which is favorable for the markets. On Monday, the Moon transits through Scorpio. It may produce neutral results for the stock market on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with the Moon and Mercury. However, all three planets are weak. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury has moved back to Aries, which is an unpleasant sign for Mercury. Although it is very close to Neptune, it conjuncts Rahu and Saturn. Wednesday may, therefore, be a lower day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.

Venus transits through its sign of exaltation, Pisces, this week. It conjuncts Saturn and Rahu. Friday may be a higher day. Saturn is getting closer to Rahu, which only adds a negative effect on Friday. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may remain flat this week.

The S&P500 lost 506 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. I could not be more wrong.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  April 07, 2025, to April 11, 2025. 

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 07 – April 09, occupying the tenth house in the sign Aries. Mercury is conjunct Venus and Jupiter makes sextile aspects with both Mercury and Venus.  The stock market,  therefore, may go higher during these days. 

Sun is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 10, which occupies the ninth house in the Pisces sign. It conjuncts with Saturn and Rahu. As a result, the market may go lower on this day. 

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 11 – April 13, occupying the fifth house in the sign Scorpio. Moon gets weak in this sign.  The stock market,  therefore, may go lower during these days. 

Transits during this week:

On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Mercury. However, both Mars and Mercury are weak. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Retrograde Mercury has moved back to Pisces, its weakest sign. Although it is very close to retrograde Venus, it conjuncts Rahu and Saturn. Wednesday may, therefore, be a lower day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a flat or a slightly lower day.

Retrograde Venus moves back into its sign of exaltation, Pisces, this week. It conjuncts Saturn, Rahu, and Mercury. Friday may be a higher day. Saturn is getting closer to Rahu, which only adds a negative effect on Friday.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may remain flat this week.

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

The S&P500 gained 81 points last week. I was expecting a lower market. My daily forecast this week was better.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of February 17, 2025, to February 21, 2025. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from February 15 and will stay effective until March 16, 2025. The month lord is the Moon, which occupies the 4th house in the sign Libra. It gets the aspect of Venus in the tenth house and Jupiter in the twelfth house. This relationship between the three benefic planets is highly positive. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the first house. Mars is retrograde and is in the fallen sign, Cancer. This setup is very unfavorable. Jupiter occupies the 12th house and makes square aspects with Saturn. This is a neutral setup. Saturn also makes a trine relationship with weak Mars in the first house. This is also a neutral feature. Combining all of the above, I see a predominance of both negative and positive features. This month, therefore, looks only sideways or slightly bullish to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 15 – Feb 17 is Moon, which occupies the fourth house in the sign Libra. Moon makes trine aspects with Jupiter occupying the twelfth house. It also makes an opposite aspect with Venus in the tenth house. As a result, the market may go slightly higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 18 is Mars, which occupies the first house in the sign Cancer. It makes a trine aspect with Saturn in the ninth house. Uranus also has a sextile aspect with Mars. As a result, the market may go lower on this day. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 19 – Feb 23 is Rahu, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces along with Saturn and Neptune. Rahu makes a sextile aspect with Uranus occupying the eleventh house. As a result, the market may go sideways during these days.

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Aquarius, making a trine aspect with the Moon, which is good for the overnight futures markets. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Scorpio makes a trine aspect with Mercury. It may produce slightly positive results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn but Mars is fallen and retrograded. As a result, Tuesday may be a flat day for the markets. Mercury is also fallen and it conjuncts the Sun, which makes it combust and weak. It also makes a square aspect with Uranus.  Wednesday may, therefore, be a lower day. Jupiter, in the sign Gemini, makes a square aspect with Mercury. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.  Venus makes a trine aspect with the Moon on Friday, but Venus is in its worst sign, Aries. Friday, therefore, may be a slightly lower day, too. The planet Saturn makes a trine aspect with Mars and sextile with Uranus. The positive effect of Saturn can help the market to end slightly positive on Friday. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go LOWER 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.
