Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500lost 7 points last week. I was expecting it to go slightly higher. 

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

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 01 – 02. Ketu is a malefic planet, and it occupies the sixth house. It makes a sextile aspect with strong Jupiter and Moon present in the fourth house. As a result, the market may go sideways during these days.

The dasha planet for  September 03 – 05 is Venus, which occupies the fourth house in the sign Cancer. Venus is a benefic planet, and it occupies the same house as the other benefic planets, Jupiter and Moon. As a result, the market may end higher during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun has now moved into Virgo. On Monday, the Moon transits through Sagittarius. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Mercury in Leo. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

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

Mercury has now moved into Virgo, a sign it rules. It makes a square aspect with Uranus in the sign of Gemini. Wednesday may, therefore,  be a slightly lower day.

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

Venus is now transiting Leo. It makes an opposition aspect with Moon in Aquarius. Friday, therefore, may be a flat day. 

 By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the daily behavior of the stock market to be as follows. 

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

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

Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  August 23 – 27. Saturn is a malefic planet, and it makes an opposition aspect with Mars. It is fallen and retrograde. As a result, the market may go slightly lower in these days.

The dasha planet for  August 28 – 30 is Mercury, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Leo. It makes a trine with the  Saturn and Neptune in the first house. As a result, the market may go volatile and end higher during these days.

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.

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.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 21, 2025, to July 25, 2025. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from July 19 and will stay effective until August 18, 2025. The month lord is the Moon, which occupies the seventh house in the sign Taurus. It rules the ninth house. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the eleventh house. Mars has a company of Ketu. Mars makes a square aspect with Venus occupying the Gemini sign.  This setup is extremely negative. Jupiter is exalted, and it occupies the ninth house. This is a favorable setup. Venus occupies the sign of Gemini and is surrounded by the exalted Moon and exalted Jupiter, a highly valuable feature for advancing markets. Combining all of the above, I see both highly favorable and unfavorable features. This month, therefore, appears quite volatile, which could result in a flat or slightly lower close.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 21 – 22, occupying the seventh house in the sign of Taurus. It makes a trine aspect with Mars occupying the eleventh house. It makes a square aspect with Mercury, also. It is a benefic planet making a favorable aspect. As a result, the market may go higher in these days.

Mars is the next dasha planet for  July 23 – 24, which occupies the eleventh house in the Virgo sign. It makes a square aspect with Venus in the eighth house and a trine aspect with the Moon. Mars is also conjunct with Ketu. As a result, the market may go lower in these days.

The next dasha planet for  July 25 – 29 is Rahu, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign. It makes a square aspect with Venus in the eighth house and a trine aspect with the Sun. Rahu is also in a sextile aspect with the Moon. As a result, the market may go volatile and end flat during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Cancer during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Gemini. The Moon conjuncts Venus and makes a square aspect with Mars and Ketu. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to transit in Virgo. It is now conjunct Ketu. It also makes a square aspect with Venus transiting Gemini. So, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.

Mercury is now in the middle of Leo and has become retrograde. It makes no aspect with any planet this week. Wednesday may, therefore, be a flat day.

Jupiter advanced into its sign of exaltation, Cancer, just a month ago. It now has no connection with any planet. Jupiter is not in a state of combustion anymore. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus is advancing fast in Gemini, a sign it likes. It is making a square aspect with Mars and Ketu. Friday, the market may go lower. Saturn has now moved into Aries and has turned retrograde. This can harm 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: Slightly lower ;   Thursday: Slightly lower ;   Friday: Lower .

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