Nov 14 – 21, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 5  points last week. I was expecting it to go slightly lower or remain flat. 

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

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for November 17 – 18. Moon occupies the first house in the sign of Libra. It is in conjunction with Venus at a distance of 7.5 degrees.  It also forms a square aspect with Jupiter. As a result, the market may remain flat during these days.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from November 19 and will stay effective until December 17, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the first house in the sign Scorpio. It rules the twelfth house and is conjunct to the Moon. It is, therefore, quite favorable. Jupiter is exalted and is situated in the ninth house. It is strong and affects three planets, including Mercury, the Sun, and Saturn. This is also a favorable setup for the stock markets. The Sun is weak in Scorpio in the first house. This is a neutral feature. The critical planet, Mars, is placed in the second house in the sign Sagittarius. This is also a neutral feature. Uranus makes an opposition aspect with the Sun and retrograde Mercury. This is not good for stocks this month. Combining all of the above, I can say that this month, the market may be able to rise slightly.

The dasha planet for November 19 – November 21 is Jupiter, which occupies the ninth house in the sign of Cancer. Jupiter is a benefic planet, and its presence in the ninth house makes it highly beneficial. It also blesses retrograde Saturn in the fifth house. As a result, the market may go higher these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Scorpio, a friendly sign. On Monday, the Moon transits through Libra. The Moon makes a square aspect with retrograde but exalted Jupiter. The stock market may experience a slight decline on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars, while transiting Sagittarius, passed the retrograde Mercury. It makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. So, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.

Mercury is now turned retrograde and crossed over to Scorpio. It is combust as it has gone very close to the Sun. But it makes a trine aspect with Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter. Wednesday, May, may therefore be a slightly higher day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been continuously supporting the stock market by aspecting many planets. It has turned retrograde now. It also makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and the Sun in Scorpio. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.

Venus moves into Scorpio, a sign of its distaste. It is now making wild aspects with Jupiter and Rahu. 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: Lower; Wednesday: Slightly higher;   Thursday: Higher; Friday: Slightly lower.

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to remain flat or move slightly lower this week.

November 10 -14, 2025

The S&P 500 lost 112  points last week. I was also expecting it to go slightly lower or remain flat. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  November 10 to November 14, 2025

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for November 09 – 10. Ketu occupies the twelfth house in the sign of Virgo. It makes a sextile aspect with a pair of Mercury and Mars. Ketu is a malefic planet, and it occupies an inauspicious house, receiving the aspect of another malefic. As a result, the market may go lower during these days.

The dasha planet for November 11 – November 14 is Venus, which occupies the first house in the sign of Libra. Venus is a benefic planet, and its presence in the first house makes it highly beneficial. But it gets the blessing of Jupiter, but it is combust in the monthly chart. As a result, the market may remain flat on these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting in Scorpio, a friendly sign. On Monday, the Moon transits through Cancer. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Neptune. The stock market may advance strongly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars, while transiting Sagittarius, gets close to its enemy Mercury. It makes a trine aspect with Moon. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury is now turned retrograde in Sagittarius and conjuncts its enemy, Mars. It makes no other aspect. Wednesday, May, may therefore be a lower day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been continuously supporting the stock market by aspecting many planets. It now makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and the Sun in Scorpio. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus moves into Scorpio, a sign of its distaste. It has no good or bad aspects. 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: Higher; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Lower;   Thursday: Slightly higher; Friday: Lower.

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

The dasha planet for October 31 – November 04 is Saturn, which occupies the sixth house in the sign of Pisces. Saturn is a malefic planet, and its presence in an inauspicious house makes it more dangerous.

On Tuesday, Mars gets ready to move out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius. It makes a trine aspect with Jupiter and Saturn. So, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.

Mercury is now advancing in Sagittarius and crossed its enemy, Mars. It is making an opposition aspect with Uranus. Wednesday, May, may therefore be a slightly lower day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been continuously supporting the stock market by aspecting many planets. It now makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces only. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.

Venus moves into Scorpio, a sign of its distaste. It has begun to make a square aspect with Pluto. 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.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from October 20 and will stay effective until November 18, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the first house in the sign Libra. It rules the first house and is conjunct to the Moon. It is, therefore, very strong. This is a positive feature. Jupiter is exalted and is situated in the tenth house.

Aug 31 – Sep 04, 2020

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.
