Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P500 gained 14 points last week. I was also expecting a flat market. The daily forecast was not that good.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  September 02, 2024, to September 06, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Sept 02 – Sept 06 is Mercury. Mercury rules the tenth house and occupies the ninth house. It may, therefore, lift the stock market. But it is retrograde and is totally combust.  It also makes a square aspect with Uranus. Consequently, the market may end flat or go slightly lower during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Sept 07 is Ketu. Ketu is a malefic planet, and it occupies the eleventh house. It makes no good or bad aspect. As a result, the market may go lower on this day.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is advancing in the sign Gemini, while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun advances in Virgo, whereas Venus has now moved into a sign of its choice, Libra. Mercury has turned direct but remains in Leo. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars is advancing in Gemini, a sign of its dislike. Mars makes a square aspect with Neptune, which is one of the most challenging aspects. It moves into its sign of fall, cancer, on Sept 05.

The Moon transits between PurvaPhalguni and Chitra. Moon helps the stock market in these nakshatras. The Moon and the Sun form some good and neutral yogas, but no bad yoga this week. It makes an opposition aspect with Saturn and a trine aspect with Jupiter. Thus, the Moon undergoes beneficial transits. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly lower this week.

The S&P500 gained 80 points last week. I was also expecting a slightly higher market. The daily forecast for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday was correct, but not for Thursday, 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  August 26, 2024 to August 30, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 24 – Aug 27 is Jupiter. Jupiter is a benefit planet and occupies the seventh house. It may, therefore, lift the stock market. But it makes square aspects with fallen Venus in the tenth house and retrograde Saturn in the fourth house.  Consequently, the market may end flat or, at best, slightly higher during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 28 – Sep 01 is Saturn. Saturn is a malefic planet, and it is retrograde. It makes opposition aspects with fallen Venus in the tenth house and square aspects with Mars and Jupiter in the seventh house. As a result, the market may go lower during these days.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is advancing in the sign Gemini, while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun advances in Virgo, whereas Venus is already quite advanced in Virgo. Mercury has turned retrograde and has moved back into Leo. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars is advancing in Gemini, a sign of its dislike. It has started making square aspect with retrograde Saturn, which is not welcome.

The Moon transits between Krittika and Punravasu. Moon helps the stock market in the intervening nakshatras, Rohini, and Mrigshira. The Moon and the Sun form both bad and good yogas this week. It crosses Mars and Jupiter and makes a trine aspect with Saturn. Thus, the Moon undergoes beneficial transits. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may remain FLAT or go slightly lower this week.

The S&P500 gained 210 points last week. I was expecting a lower market. I have never been so wrong. The daily forecast for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday was correct, but for Wednesday and Thursday, it was very wrong, which made the whole week inaccurate. When Mercury is retrograde, any market can make wild swings. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  August 19, 2024 to August 23, 2024. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from August 19 and will stay effective until September 18. The month lord is Jupiter, which occupies the 7th house in the sign Gemini. Jupiter gives good results in this house. But it makes square aspects with Venus in the fourth and retrograde Saturn in the fourth house. As a result, it may give adverse results. Mars also occupies the seventh house in the sign Gemini, and it roo makes square aspects with Venus and Saturn. It can, therefore, only be regarded as negative. Saturn is retrograde and occupies the fourth house. It makes an opposite aspect with fallen Venus. It can, therefore, only give inauspicious results. Moon occupies the third house in the sign Aquarius and makes a square aspect with Uranus in the sixth house, which in turn makes a square aspect with retrograde Mercury and Sun in the ninth house. This is a negative feature. Combining all of the above, I see only negative features and no positive features. This month, therefore, looks only bad, bad to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 18 – Aug 19 is Mars. Mars is a malefic planet. It rules the fifth house and occupies the seventh house in the sign, Gemini. It makes square aspects with fallen Venus in the tenth house and retrograde Saturn in the fourth house. As a result, the market may go lower during these days.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 20 – Aug 23 is Rahu. Rahu occupies the fifth house in the sign, Aries. It does not have any close aspect with any planet. Since it is well placed, it may give positive results. Consequently, the market may end higher during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is advancing in the sign Gemini, while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun advances in Leo, whereas Venus has moved into its worst sign, Virgo. Mercury has turned retrograde and has moved back into Leo. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars is advancing in Gemini, a sign of its dislike. It has started making square aspect with retrograde Saturn, which is not a welcome situation. The planet, Sun, is strong, but Venus gets weak.

The Moon transits between Dhanishta and Revati, a group of panchak nakshatras. Moon does not help the stock market in Jyeshta and Mula. The Moon and the Sun form some bad and some good yogas during this week. It also forms a few square aspects with Uranus, Mars and Jupiter, and opposition aspect with Venus. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly higher this week.

The S&P500 lost only 2 points last week. I was expecting a slightly higher market. What was surprising, was the rollar coaster ride. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  August 12, 2024 to August 16, 2024. 

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 09 – Aug 12 is Saturn. Saturn is a malefic planet. It is retrograde and occupies the 8th house in the sign, Pisces. It rules the seventh house and makes no close aspects with any planet. As a result, the market may go lower during these days.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 13 – Aug 16 is Mercury. Mercury is a neutral planet by nature. It rules the second house and occupies the first house in the sign, Leo. It makes square aspects with Mars and Uranus in the tenth house of the monthly solar chart. The sqaure aspect with two planets is not a good setup. Consequently, the market may end lower during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is advancing in the sign Gemini while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun advances in Leo, whereas Venus has moved into its worst sign, Virgo. Mercury has turned retrograde and is moving back towards Leo. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars is advancing in Gemini, a sign of its dislike. It has started making square aspect with retrograde Saturn, which is not a welcome situation. The planets, Sun and Mercury, are strong, but Venus gets weak.

The Moon transits in Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshta, Mula, and Purva-Asharda. Moon does not help the stock market in Jyeshta and Mula. The Moon and the Sun form some bad yogas during this week. It also form a few square and opposition aspects with other planets. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Lower during this week.

The S&P500 lost 113 points last week. I was expecting a slightly higher market. My daily forecast was pretty bad too. When Mercury is retrograde, even the astrologers cannot think straight. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  August 05, 2024 to August 09, 2024.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 04 – Aug 08 is Jupiter. Jupiter is a benefic planet by nature. It rules fifth house and occupies the eleventh house in the sign, Gemini. It makes sextile aspects with Venus in the first house and Rahu in the ninth house of the monthly solar chart. The planet, its placement and aspects are all good. Consequently, the market may end higher during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  Aug 09 – Aug 12 is Saturn. Saturn is a malefic planet. It is retrograde and occupies the 8th house in the sign, Pisces. It rules the seventhth house and makes no close aspects with any planet. As a result, the market may go lower during these days.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is advancing in the sign Gemini while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun advances in Leo whereas Venus is moving into its worst sign Virgo. Here it meets its friend, Mercury which behaves strongly in this sign. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars is advancing in Gemini, a sign of its dislike. The Moon transits in Leo, Virgo, and Libra, and through the 1st Tithi of the bright half to the 5th Tithi of the bright half. The Moon gives slightly bad results in these signs and in the fourth quarter. The Moon and the Sun form neutral and slightly positive yogas during this week.  The planets, Sun and Mercury, are strong but Venus gets weak. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly higher during this week.

The S&P500 lost 46 points last week. I was also expecting a lower market. My daily forecast was pretty good too.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 29, 2024 to August 02, 2024.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 29 is Mars. Mars occupies the tenth house in the sign, Taurus. It rules the ninth house and makes sextile aspects with Sun occupying the 12th house and Neptune occupying the eighth house. Mars ia malefic planet but involved in good aspects. As a result, the market may not be able to find any direction.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 30 – August 03 is Rahu. Rahu occupies the ninth house in the sign, Aries. It makes trine aspect with Venus in the first house. It also makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter in the eleventh house. Consequently, the market may be volatile but may end higher during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is well established in the sign Gemini now while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun moves into Leo where Venus is already transiting. Mercury moves in its own sign, Virgi. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Retrograde Saturn is not a welcome feature. Mars moves over to Gemini, a sign of its dislike. The Moon moves in Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer, and through the 9th Tithi of the dark half to the 14th Tithi of the dark half. The Moon gives good results in these signs and in the fourth quarter. The Moon and the Sun form good yoga on Wednesday but bad yoga on Thursday of this week.  Three planets, Sun, Moon and Mercury, are strong but there are a lot of square aspects between the planets. Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly higher during this week.

The S&P500 lost 110 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. I missed the square aspects between Mercury and a combine of Mars and Uranus. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 22, 2024 to July 26, 2024.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 20 – July 24 is Venus. Venus occupies thefirst house in the sign, Leo. It rules the third house and makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter occupying the 11th house. As a result, the market may go only slightly higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 25 is Sun. Sun rules the first house and occupies the 12th house in the sign, Cancer. It makes trine aspect with retrograde Neptune in the 8th. As a result, the market may go lower during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 26 – July 28 is Moon. Moon occupies the sixth house in the sign, Capricorn. No planet aspects it. It, therefore, acts as a neutral planet. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is well established in the sign Gemini now while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. The Sun moves into Leo where Venus and Mercury are already transiting. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However, both have turned retrograde now. Mars moves over to Gemini, a sign of its dislike. The Moon moves in Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries, and through the 2nd Tithi of the dark half to the 6th Tithi of the dark half. The Moon gives bad results in these signs and in the third quarter. The Moon and the Sun do not form good yogas during this week.  Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may go Lower during this week.

The S&P500 gained 48 points last week. I was expecting a slightly lower market. The daily forecast was also not accurate. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 15, 2024 to July 19, 2024.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 13 – July 14 is Mars. Mars occupies the 5th house in the sign, Taurus. It rules the fourth house. and makes an opposite aspect with Moon occupying the 11th house. As a result, the market may go only slightly higher.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 15 – July18 is Rahu. Rahu occupies the 4th house in the sign, Aries. It makes sextile aspect with Jupiter. Rahu generally gives positive results in this setup. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during this period.

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from July 19 and will stay effective until August 18. The month lord is Jupiter, which occupies the 11th house in the sign Gemini. Jupiter gives good results in this house. But in the sign Gemini, it causes frequent moves in the opposite directions. Still, its influence can only be positive. Mars occupies 10th house in the sign Taurus, and makes a sextile aspect with the Sun. It can, therefore, only be regarded as positive. Saturn is retrograde and occupies the 8th house. It makes wide aspects with many planets but close with none. It can, therefore, only give inauspicious results. Moon occupies the 6th house in the sign Capricorn and makes no aspect. This is a negative feature. Combining all the features, I find that both positive and negative features are equally strong. This month, therefore, looks only volatile but flat to me.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 19 is Ketu. Ketu occupies the 3rd house in the sign, Libra. Ketu generally gives poor results. However, Jupiter aspects it from the eleventh house. It, therefore, acts as a neutral planet. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is well established in the sign Gemini now while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. Sun is advancing in Cancer. But Venus has moved on to Leo to join Mercury. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However both have turned retrograde now. Mars is transiting halfway through the sign Taurus. The Moon moves in Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn, and through the 10th Tithi of the bright half to the 14th Tithi of the bright half.

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

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

The S&P500 gained 107 points last week. I was also expecting a higher market. The daily forecast was also reasonably accurate. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  July 08, 2024 to July 12, 2024.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 03 – July 08 is Venus. Venus rules the tenth house and occupies the seventh house in the sign, Cancer. It sits very close to Mercury. This pair generally gives positive results. As a result, the market may go slightly higher during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 09 – July 10 is Sun. Sun rules the 8th house and occupies the 6th house in the sign, Gemini. It makes no aspect with any other planet. It, therefore, acts as a maelfic planet. As a result, the market may go lower during this period.

The compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  July 11 – July 12 is Moon. Moon occupies the 11th house in the sign, Scorpio. Moon is weak as it is fallen. However it makes a trine aspect with the pair of Venus and Mercury occupying the seventh house. As a result, the market may go only slightly higher.

Transits during this week:  Jupiter is well established in the sign Gemini now while Uranus continues to transit through Taurus during this week. Rahu is transiting in Aries and Ketu in Libra. Sun along with Venus are advancing in Cancer. Saturn and Neptune are well established in Pisces. However both have turned retrograde now. Mars is transiting halfway through the sign Taurus. Venus now moves into Leo on July 12, 2024. The Moon moves in Leo, Virgo, and Libra, and through the 3rd Tithi of the bright half to the 7th Tithi of the bright half. The Moon gives poor results in these signs and bad in the first quarter. The Moon and the Sun form bad yogas during this week.  Combining the transit and CVD techniques, the following is my estimate of the daily behavior of the stock market.

Monday: Lower; Tuesday: Lower;   Wednesday: Slightly lower;   Thursday: Higher;   Friday: Slightly higher. 

Overall, the S&P500 may go slightly lower during 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.

Note: This forecast is strictly based on astrological considerations. This is only for academic interest and not intended for trading.
