Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 103 points last week. I was also expecting it to go lower. My monthly solar return chart provided the correct forecast. I have consistently noticed that this method yields better results because it is tied to the energies of the U.S. stock market, whereas transits represent the general configuration of the planets that may influence various issues, such as the economy, politics, or society. In the future, I will weigh more heavily the first method.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  September 12 to September 19, 2025. 

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 14 – 18. Rahu is a volatile but benefic planet. Although it occupies the twelfth house in the Pisces sign, it is aspected by an exalted Jupiter from the fourth house. It also forms a trine aspect with the Moon and Venus, both of which are present in the fourth house. As a result, the market may go higher during these days.

A new solar return will be applicable on September 19.

The dasha planet for  September 19 – 24 is Venus, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Virgo. Venus is a benefic planet, but it is utterly weak, and it makes a square aspect with retrograde Uranus in the second house. As a result, the market may end lower during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Virgo. On Monday, the Moon transits through Cancer. The Moon forms a square aspect with retrograde Neptune. The stock market may be directionless on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Libra. It also makes a square aspect widely with Jupiter in the Cancer sign. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury has now moved into the last quarter of Virgo, a sign it rules. It is close to the Sun and thereby becomes combust. Wednesday, May, may therefore be a flat day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been providing hope in the stock market. It makes a sextile aspect with the Sun in Virgo. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus is now ready to leave Leo to go into a sign of its fall. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars in Libra, and a conjunction with the Moon. Friday, therefore, may be a slightly 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 higher; Friday: Lower .

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

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

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

The dasha planet for  September 08 is the Sun, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Leo. Sun is, therefore, strong in the house of speculation. As a result, the market may end higher on this day.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 09 – 11. Moon is a benefic planet, and it occupies the fourth house. It is conjunct with strong Jupiter and Venus present in the fourth house. As a result, the market may go higher during these days.

The dasha planet for  September 12 – 13 is Mars, which occupies the seventh house in the sign Libra. Mars is a malefic planet, and it makes an opposition aspect with retrograde Saturn in the first house. As a result, the market may end lower during these days.

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

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of August 18, 2025, to August 22, 2025. 

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 go slightly higher in these days.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from August 19 and will stay effective until September 18, 2025. The month lord is Mars, which occupies the seventh house in the sign Libra. It rules the first house. It makes no adverse aspect, only a sextile aspect with Mercury in the sign Leo. This is a slightly positive feature. Jupiter is situated in the fourth house. It is exalted and has the company of two other benefic planets. This is a highly favorable setup for advancing the stock markets. The Sun is strong in Leo in the fifth house, which makes the third strong planet in the chart. The only unfavorable feature is the retrogradation of Saturn in its sign of fall, Aries. One weak planet cannot overcome the strength of three strong benefic planets. Combining all of the above, I can say that this month, therefore, appears quite bullish, and can end with a higher close.

The dasha planet for  August 19 – 22 is Jupiter, which occupies the fourth house in its exalted sign, Cancer. It makes a conjunction with the  Moon and Venus in the same house. All three planets are benefic planets. They are all strong and occupy a Central house. As a result, the market may go volatile and end higher during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun continues to transit Leo during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Gemini. The Moon makes no aspect with any planet. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

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

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. 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 conjuncts retrograde Neptune. The conjunction 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: Higher;   Thursday: Slightly higher;   Friday: Slightly lower.

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

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. 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.

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