Weekly & Daily Forecast (S&P 500) - Stockastrologer - Financial Astrology - Stock market astrology

The S&P 500 gained 37 points last week. I also expected it to gain slightly. My daily forecast was off.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of August 31, 2026, to September 04, 2026.

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for August 30 – September 04. Venus occupies the fourth house in the sign Libra in the monthly solar chart. Venus is a benefic planet and is strong. However, it is aspected by a weak Saturn from the tenth house. The market may, therefore, remain flat or go sideways during these days.

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is the Sun, and its term of office is September 04 – 05. The Sun occupies the sign Leo in the second house. This may cause the market to go higher.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Virgo, a sign of its friend, Mercury. On Monday (Aug 31), the Moon transits Aries, and it makes an opposition aspect with strong Libra. As a result, the stock market may end lower on Monday.

On Tuesday (Sep 01), the Moon moves into Taurus and makes a wide sextile to Mars. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets, as the Moon is strong in this sign.

On Wednesday (Sep 02), the Moon continues to transit in Taurus. However, it now forms a square with Jupiter in Leo. Wednesday may therefore also be a slightly higher day.

On Thursday (Sep 03), the Moon, while transiting in Gemini, makes a square with Rahu and Ketu. The net result of which can be a lower day for the markets.

The Moon now advances in Gemini, and its Tithi is the eighth of the dark half. Mercury is strong in Virgo, and Venus is strong in Libra. Friday may be a slightly higher day in the stock market.

By combining the transit and CVD techniques, I have estimated the stock market’s daily behavior as follows.

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to be volatile and end slightly higher 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.

Yearly Forecast for

2027: First half challenging, then higher

My forecast for 2026 was correct partly. The S&P 500 rose from 5800 to approximately 7800 and now correcting. My monthly forecast was right for most months and wrong for one or two. I am now updating my views of the remaing two months of 2026 and for the 2027.
My analysis of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) monthly solar-return charts suggests a difficult period for the stock market from late 2026 through spring 2027, followed by a strong recovery in the second half of the year. The accompanying chart illustrates the expected market direction rather than actual S&P 500 index levels.
Planetary transits reinforce this cautious outlook. Mars is currently approaching Ketu, a conjunction associated with disruption. Mars turns retrograde in February 2027 and forms a square aspect with Uranus, suggesting the possibility of sudden market reversals and heightened volatility. Mercury also enters its sign of debilitation, Pisces, during February, adding another potentially unfavorable influence.
In April 2027, retrograde Mars approaches within one degree of Ketu before turning direct. This configuration may coincide with an important market turning point. Interestingly, the NYSE monthly solar-return charts independently suggest that the market could establish a bottom around March–May 2027.
Taken together, these astrological indications suggest continued market weakness during the first several months of 2027, followed by improving conditions beginning around May or June. The second half of 2027 appears considerably more favorable, with the possibility of a sustained advance through December.
This forecast therefore differs from the usual seasonal pattern. It is based primarily on the combination of NYSE solar-return charts and planetary transits, as described in Volume II of my books.
As always, astrology indicates probable market direction rather than precise index levels, and actual market movements may differ from these projections.
The picture above depicts how the S&P 500 could behave between November 2026 and October 2027, though I am not sure how much of it will actually materialize. Still, it is worth keeping in mind.

Monthly Forecast

Oct 20 - Nov 18: Slightly Lower

Nov 19 - Dec 18: Slightly Lower

During the period (09/20/2026 - 10/19/2026), the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P500, moved higher from 7650 to 7690. I was expecting it to go slightly lower.

The U.S. stock market is likely to be volatile during the next solar month (Oct 20 2026, to Nov 18, 2026), with a downward bias. The ascendant is Capricorn, and its ruler, Saturn, is fallen in the fourth house, which in turn aspects the ascendant. The ascendant is therefore weak. This setup is clearly negative. In addition to Saturn, the Sun is also fallen in Libra, and it occupies the tenth house. Moon in Aquarius, and Venus in Scorpio also cannot be considered strong. Two benefic planets Jupiter and Moon aspect each other. This is a positive facotr. The rulers of the third house, Jupiter, and of eleventh house, Mars, occupy the eighth house. This factor is also, therefore, not helpful. Taking all factors into account, the outlook appears negative. Therefore, the stock market may present challenges during this month.
