October 27 – 31, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 127  points last week. I was also expecting it to go slightly lower. 

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

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for October 27 – 30. Jupiter is a benefic planet and forms trine aspects with Mercury, Mars, and Saturn. Mars and Mercury themselves make a trine aspect with Saturn. As a result, the market may go higher during these days.

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. But it gets the blessing of Jupiter, and it makes a trine aspect with Mars and Mercury 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 Capricorn. The Moon makes a sextile aspect with the Sun. The stock market may remain flat on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to move in Scorpio, a sign of its liking. It makes a trine aspect with Jupiter and Saturn. So, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.

Mercury is now moving in Scorpio and crossed its enemy, Mars. It is making a trine aspect with Jupiter and Saturn. 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. It makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Scorpio. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.

Venus is transiting in the best sign, Libra. It has begun to make a square aspect with exalted Jupiter. 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: Flat; Tuesday: Slightly higher; Wednesday: Slightly higher;   Thursday: Slightly higher; Friday: Slightly lower.

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

October 20 – 24, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 102  points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  October 20 to October 24, 2025

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. It is strong and affects three planets, including Mercury, Mars, and Saturn. This is also a favorable setup for the stock markets. The Sun is weak in Libra in the first house. This is an unfavorable feature. The critical planet, Mars, is placed in the second house along with Mercury. This is also unfavorable. Uranus makes a trine aspect with Pluto. This is good for stocks this month. Combining all of the above, I can say that this month, the market may be able to go slightly higher.

Mars is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for October 20 – 21. Mars is a malefic planet, and it makes a conjunction aspect with Mercury. In the monthly chart, they occupy the second house in the sign of Scorpio, and make a trine aspect with Jupiter and Saturn. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

The dasha planet for October 22 – 26 is Rahu, which occupies the sixth house in the sign of Pisces. Rahu is a volatile planet, and it makes a trine aspect with Mars and Mercury in the monthly chart. As a result, the market may go slightly higher on these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting its sign of fall, Libra. On Monday, the Moon transits through Libra. The Moon makes a conjunction with Venus. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars continues to move in Scorpio, a sign of its liking. It makes a trine aspect with Jupiter. So, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.

Mercury is now moving in Scorpio and crossed its enemy, Mars. It is making a trine aspect with Jupiter. 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. It makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. Thursday, therefore, may be a higher day.

Venus moves into its best sign, Libra. It has no favorable or adverse aspect. Friday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day. 

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

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

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

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for October 14 – 17. Mercury is a neutral planet, and it makes an opposition aspect with Neptune. In the monthly chart, it occupies the sixth house in the sign Libra, and makes a trine aspect with Uranus and Pluto. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during these days.

The dasha planet for October 18 is Ketu, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Virgo. Ketu is a malefic planet, and it makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter in the monthly chart. As a result, the market may end lower on this day.

Jupiter continues its transit in its exalted sign, Cancer, and has been continuously supporting the stock market. It makes a trine aspect with Saturn in Pisces and a square aspect with the fallen Sun. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly lower day.

Venus moves into its best sign, Libra. It makes a trine aspect with retrograde Uranus. Friday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

The S&P 500 lost 20 points last week. I was expecting it to go lower. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  September 29 to October 03, 2025

The dasha planet for  September 29 – 30 is Mars, which occupies the sixth house in the sign Libra. Mars is a malefic planet, and becomes less malefic when it occupies the sixth house. As a result, the market may end slightly lower during these days.

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

September 22 – 26, 2025

The S&P 500 gained 48 points last week. I was also expecting it to go higher. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  September 22 to September 26, 2025

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from September 19 and will stay effective until October 19, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the fifth house in the sign Virgo. Although it rules the first house and is conjunct to the Moon, it is very weak. This is a slightly negative feature. Jupiter is exalted and is situated in the third house. It is strong and affects a few planets, but it does so only to a limited extent. This is a mildly favorable setup for the stock markets. The Sun is weak in Virgo in the fifth house, and Saturn aspects it from the eleventh house. This is an unfavorable feature. The critical planet, Mars, is badly placed and squares Uranus. This is also unfavorable. Uranus makes a trine aspect with Mercury. This is good for stocks this month. Combining all of the above, I can say that this month, the market may move sideways and be unable to go higher.

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.

The Sun is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 25. The Sun is aspected by retrograde Saturn from the eleventh house. It also forms a trine aspect with Uranus. As a result, the market may go slightly lower on this day.

The Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for September 26 – 29. The Moon is a benefic planet. It is conjunct with Venus, both of which are present in the fifth house. It also squares retrograde Uranus. As a result, the market may go sideways during these days.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is about to leave Virgo to move into its sign of fall, Libra. On Monday, the Moon transits through Libra. The Moon conjuncts with Mercury. The stock market may advance slightly on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars advances into Scorpio, a sign of its liking. It also makes a sextile aspect widely with Venus in the Virgo sign. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Mercury has now moved into Libra, a sign it rules. It has no close aspect with any planet. 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 wild trine aspect with retrograde Saturn in Pisces. Thursday, therefore, may be a slightly higher day.

Venus has now moved into a sign of its fall. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars in Scorpio. 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 Lower; Tuesday: Lower  Wednesday: Lower;   Thursday: Slightly Lower; Friday: Slightly Lower.

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

Sept 15 – 19, 2025

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.

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.
