Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P500 gained 29 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. My daily forecast this week was not bad this time.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of March 24, 2025, to March 28, 2025. 

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 21 – March 24, occupying the tenth house in the sign Aries. Jupiter occupies the twelfth house and makes sextile aspects with Mercury and Venus.  The stock market,  therefore, may go higher during these days. 

Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 25 – March 29, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces. It conjuncts the Sun, Rahu, and Neptune. It makes a trine aspect with Mars in the first house and a sextile aspect with Uranus. As a result, the market may go slightly higher on these days. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun moves into its sign of exaltation, Aries, which is favorable for the markets. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Capricorn makes an opposite aspect with Mars and a trine aspect with Uranus. It may produce positive results for the stock market.

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

Retrograde Mercury is transiting in Aries and is close to retrograde Venus. It is also conjunct exalted Sun. Wednesday may, therefore, be a positive 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 is no longer combust now, and it conjuncts Moon, Rahu, and Neptune.  Friday may only be a higher day. The planet Saturn is no longer combust this week. Saturn’s positive effect may also help the market to make a positive difference 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: Slightly lower;  Wednesday: Higher;   Thursday: Slightly lower;   Friday:  Higher.

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

The S&P500 lost 131 points last week. I was expecting a slightly higher market. My daily forecast this week was off too.  

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

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from March 17 and will stay effective until April 15, 2025. The month lord is the Moon, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Scorpio. It rules the first house and makes no aspect with any planet. This is a negative feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the first house. Mars is no longer retrograde, but it is in the fallen sign, Cancer. Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and the Sun occupying the Pisces sign. This setup is favorable. Jupiter occupies the 12th house and makes a square aspect with Saturn and a sextile aspect with Mercury. 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.

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 16 – March 20, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces. It conjuncts the Sun and Neptune. It makes a trine aspect with Mars in the first house and a sextile aspect with Uranus. As a result, the market may go higher on these days. 

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 21 – March 24, occupying the tenth house in the sign Aries. Jupiter occupies the twelfth house and makes sextile aspects with Mercury and Venus.  The stock market,  therefore, may go higher during these days. 

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Pisces, and it is getting very close to Rahu, which is unfavorable for markets the entire week. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Scorpio makes no close aspect with any planet. It may produce positive results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a grand trine aspect with Saturn and the Moon. Both Mars and Moon are weak. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets. Retrograde Mercury is transiting in Aries and is getting very close to retrograde Venus. Wednesday may, therefore, be a positive day. In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes sextile aspects, with Mercury and Venus occupying the sign Aries. Moon aspects it from the sign Gemini. Thursday may, therefore, be a higher day. Retrograde Venus gets very close to Mercury this week. It is also getting close to the Sun, which makes it combust. Friday may only be a flat day. The planet Saturn is no longer combust this week. Saturn’s positive effect may help the market to make a positive difference 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: Slightly higher;  Wednesday: Higher;   Thursday: Slightly higher;   Friday:  Flat. 

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

The S&P500 lost 184 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. My daily forecast this week was off.  

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

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 09 – March 10, which occupies the third house in the sign Virgo. It makes a trine aspect with Uranus in the eleventh house and an opposite aspect with Neptune. As a result, the market may go lower on these days. 

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 11 – March 14, occupying the tenth house in the sign Aries. Venus opposes Moon in the fourth house and makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter in the twelfth house. The stock market,  therefore, may go higher during these days. 

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Pisces, and it is getting very close to Saturn combusting it, which is not favorable for markets the entire week. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Leo makes a trine aspect with Venus and Mercury in the sign Aries and a sextile aspect with Jupiter. It may produce positive results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and the Sun. Both Mars and Saturn are weak. As a result, Tuesday may be a flat day for the markets. Mercury is transiting in Aries and is getting very close to retrograde Venus. Wednesday may, therefore, be a positive day. In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes sextile aspects, with Mercury and Venus occupying the sign Aries. Thursday may, therefore, be a higher day. Retrograde Venus gets very close to Mercury this week. Due to the exact conjunction of Moon and Ketu, Friday may only be a flat day. The planet Saturn is totally combust this week. Saturn’s negative effect may not help the market to make any difference 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: Flat;   Thursday: Slightly higher;   Friday:  Flat. 

Overall, the S&P500 may go Slightly Higher this week.

The S&P500 lost 60 points last week. I was also expecting a lower market. My daily forecast this week was better.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of March 03, 2025, to March 07, 2025. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 01 – March 04 is Saturn, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces. It makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the twelfth house. It also has a sextile aspect with weak Mars. As a result, the market may go lower on these days. 

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 05 – March 08, occupying the ninth house in the sign Pisces. Mercury makes no close aspect with any planet. It will, therefore, project the effects of its sign ruler, Jupiter. As a result, the market may remain flat during these days.

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Pisces, making a square aspect with Jupiter, which is not favorable for the overnight futures markets. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Taurus makes a conjunct aspect with Uranus and a sextile aspect with weak Mars. It may produce slightly positive results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and the Sun. Mars is no longer retrograde now. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly good day for the markets. Mercury moved into the sign Aries last week, leaving behind its sign of fall, Pisces. It is also not conjuncting Saturn anymore. But it is still very close to Neptune. Wednesday may, therefore, be a flat day. In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes a square aspect with the Sun. Moon crosses Jupiter on Thursday. Jupiter also makes a sextile aspect, with Venus occupying the sign Aries. Thursday may, therefore, be a higher day. Venus has become retrograde now, and it makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter on Friday. Friday, therefore, may be another higher day. The planet Saturn makes a trine aspect with Mars and sextile with Uranus. But is now getting close to the Sun. Saturn’s neutral effect may not help the market to make any difference 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: Slightly higher;  Wednesday: Flat;   Thursday: Higher;   Friday:  Higher. 

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

The S&P500 lost 101 points last week. I was expecting a lower market. My daily forecast this week was better.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 24 – Feb 28 is Jupiter, which occupies the twelfth house in the sign Gemini. Jupiter makes a square aspect with Saturn occupying the ninth house. It also makes a trine aspect with the Moon in the fourth house. As a result, the market may remain flat or go slightly higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  March 01 – March 04 is Saturn, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Pisces. It makes a square aspect with Jupiter in the twelfth house. It also has a sextile aspect with weak Mars. As a result, the market may go lower on these days. 

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Pisces, making a sextile aspect with the Moon, which is good for the overnight futures markets. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Capricorn makes a trine aspect with Uranus and an opposite aspect with Mars. It may produce slightly positive results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Mercury. Mars is no longer retrograde now. As a result, Tuesday may be a flat day for the markets. Mercury is fallen and conjuncts Saturn, making it weak and afflicted.  Wednesday may, therefore, be a lower day. In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes a square aspect with Mercury, Saturn, and the Sun. Thursday may, therefore, be a lower day too.  Venus makes a square aspect with Mars on Friday, and Venus is in its worst sign, Aries. Friday, therefore, may be another lower day. The planet Saturn makes a trine aspect with Mars and sextile with Uranus. Saturn’s neutral effect may not help the market to make any difference on Friday. 

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

Monday: Flat; Tuesday: Flat;  Wednesday: Lower;   Thursday: Lower;   Friday:  Lower. 

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.

The S&P500 lost 15 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. My daily forecast this week was better.  

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

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 10 – Feb 14 is Mercury, which occupies the fourth house in the sign Capricorn. Mercury makes trine aspects with the Moon occupying the twelfth house. It also makes sextile aspects with Venus and Saturn in the sixth house. As a result, the market may go slightly higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 15 – Feb 16 is Ketu, which occupies the twelfth house in the sign Virgo. It makes a trine aspect with the Sun in the fourth house. Uranus also has a trine aspect with Ketu. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days. 

Transits during this week: The Sun transits in Aquarius, making a square aspect with Uranus, which is not good for the markets. On Monday, the Moon in the sign Cancer makes a trine aspected with Neptune and a sextile aspect with Uranus. It may produce slightly positive results for the stock market, but Sun’s negativity can keep the markets lower. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and a sextile aspect with Uranus. As a result, Tuesday may be a flat day for the markets because Mars has fallen and is retrograded. Mercury 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 Saturn and Moon. Thursday may, therefore, be a lower day too.  Venus makes no aspect with any other planet on Friday, but Venus is exalted. Friday, therefore, may be a good 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 higher on Friday. 

 Combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior to be the following. I also dare to give the probable change in the S&P500 in parentheses. This information should not be used for trading, as I could be quite wrong. 

Monday: Lower (-60); Tuesday: Slightly higher (+10);  Wednesday: Lower (-70);   Thursday: Lower (-70);   Friday: Higher (+60). 

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

The S&P500 lost 61 points last week. I was expecting a flat market. My forecast this week was off.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of February 03, 2025, to February 07, 2025. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 01 – Feb 04 is Jupiter, which occupies the ninth house in the sign Gemini. Jupiter makes square aspects with Venus and Saturn occupying the sixth house. It also makes a square aspect with the Moon in the twelfth house. Although Jupiter is a benefic planet, the market may go lower because it is involved in too many square aspects.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Feb 05 – Feb 09 is Saturn, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Pisces. It sits close to Venus and makes a trine aspect with Mars in the tenth house. Saturn also has a square aspect with Jupiter. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

Transits during this week:  On Monday, the Moon in the sign Aries makes a square aspected with retrograde weak Mars. It may produce slightly adverse results for the stock market. On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and a sextile aspect with Uranus. As a result, Tuesday may be a good day for the markets, although Mars is fallen and retrograde. Mercury conjuncts the Sun, which makes it combust and weak. It also makes a trine aspect with Jupiter.  Wednesday may, therefore, be a flat day. Jupiter aspects both the Sun and Mercury, but it also makes a square aspect with Saturn. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly good day.  Venus makes no aspect with any other planet on Friday, but Venus is exalted. Friday, therefore, may be a good day, too.

 Combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior to be the following. I also dare to give the probable change in the S&P500 in parentheses. This information should not be used for trading, as I could be quite wrong. 

Monday: Slightly lower (-20); Tuesday: Higher (+70);  Wednesday: Flat (+/-10);   Thursday: Slightly higher (+20);   Friday: Higher (+70). 

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

The S&P500 gained 105 points last week. My forecast this week was not incorrect.  

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  January 27, 2025, to January 31, 2025. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Jan 26 – Jan 27 is Mars, which occupies the tenth house in the sign Cancer. Mars makes trine aspects with Rahu and Neptune occupying the sixth house. It also makes an opposite aspect with the Sun in the fourth house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but may end up going lower.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Jan 28 – Jan 31 is Rahu, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Pisces. It sits close to Neptune and makes a trine aspect with Mars in the tenth house. Rahu easily adopts the qualities of the signs and planets conjuncting or aspecting it. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

Transits during this week:  Retrograde Jupiter remains in Gemini, causing volatility. Mars also turned retrograde three weeks ago and now transiting in its sign of fall, Cancer. It makes a trine aspect with exalted Venus. Now, Mars is no longer bad and it can only give good results. Saturn makes a square aspect with transiting Jupiter. This aspect is not favorable. Venus is transiting in Pisces, which is a favorable sign for it. And it makes a sextile aspect with Mercury.  This situation is highly favorable. The Sun is advancing in Aquarius this week. Mercury is moving fast in the sign Capricorn, and it will enter Aquarius this week. Moon transits Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The tithis of the Moon (Krishna Paksha thirteenth to Shukla Paksha third) correspond to the fourth and first quarters, which gives mixed results for the market.

 Combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior to be the following. I also dare to give the probable change in the S&P500 in parentheses. This information should not be used for trading, as I could be 100% wrong. 

Monday: Slightly higher (+30); Tuesday: Higher (+70);  Wednesday: Lower (-60);   Thursday: Slightly higher/Flat (+10);   Friday: Slightly lower (-30). 

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly higher or remain flat 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.
