Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 48 points last week. I expected it to remain flat. My daily forecast was better than before. I was off only on Friday.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of June 15, 2026, to June 19, 2026. 

Sun was the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for June 13 – June 14. It occupied the fourth house.  Since these days fall on the weekend, it may affect the markets on Monday, June 15. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is the Moon. Its term of office is June 15 – June 16. Moon occupies the sign Gemini in the fifth house and forms a sextile aspect with Venus. Moon is a benefic planet, and it occupies the benefic house. This may cause the market to go higher.

A new monthly solar return chart will be applicable from June 18 to July 18, 2026. The description of the monthly chart is given on the front page. Visitors interested in the details can look at the front page, the Monthly Forecast section, and Read More… Here I describe only the shorter periods.

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Mercury. Its term of office is June 18 – June 20. Mercury occupies the sign Cancer in the twelfth house and makes a conjunction with Jupiter. Mercury is a neutral planet, but with Jupiter it becomes a benefic planet. This may cause the market to go higher.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Gemini, a sign of its friend. It makes no aspect with any planet. On Monday (June 15), the Moon transits Cancer, and it forms a square aspect with Neptune. As a result, the stock market may end slightly lower on Monday.

On Tuesday (June 16), Mars transits in Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a sextile aspect with Mercury. As a result, Tuesday may be flat for the markets.

On Wednesday (June 17),  Mercury transits in Cancer. It makes a sextile aspect with Mars in Taurus. June 17 may therefore also be a flat day or an undecided day.

On Thursday (June 18), exalted Jupiter continues to advance in Cancer, but is unable to make any close aspect. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day as Jupiter, a benefic planet, is quite strong.  

Venus has now moved into Leo, a sign of its enemy, the Sun. Venus is a benefic planet, but gives poor results in Leo. It fortunately makes a trine aspect with Neptune, and a sextile aspect with Uranus. Friday (June 19) may therefore be a slightly higher day in the US stock market. 

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

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

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

The S&P 500 lost 197 points last week. I expected it to remain flat. The disruptive influence of Uranus squaring the Rahu–Ketu axis seems to have dominated sentiment on Friday, overpowering the strength of Jupiter and Venus, and triggering a sharp selloff in technology and speculative assets. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of June 08, 2026, to June 12, 2026. 

Ketu was the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for June 06 – June 07. Ketu is a malefic planet, and it occupied the most inauspicious eighth house.  Since these days fall on the weekend, it may have had the effect of pulling the market down on Friday, June 05. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Venus. Its term of office is June 08 – June 12. Venus occupies the sign Gemini in the fifth house and forms a sextile aspect with Mars. Venus is a benefic planet, and it occupies the benefic house. It is surrounded by Jupiter and the Moon. This may cause the market to go higher.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Gemini, a sign of its friend. It makes a sextile aspect with Saturn in the sign Aries. On Monday (June 08), the Moon transits Pisces, and it forms a trine aspect with Jupiter and Venus. As a result, the stock market may end higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (June 09), Mars transits in Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a sextile aspect with Mars. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

On Wednesday (June 10),  Mercury transits in Cancer. It makes a square aspect with Saturn in Aries. A square aspect with a weak malefic can be bad for the markets. June 10 may therefore also be a day that ends lower.

On Thursday (June 11), exalted Jupiter conjuncts Venus and the pair makes a square aspect with the Moon transiting in Aries. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.  

Venus is now conjunct Jupiter in Cancer. Venus is on the edge of Cancer and Leo. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries and forms a square aspect with Mercury. Friday (June 12) may therefore be a lower day. 

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

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

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

The S&P 500 gained 107 points last week. I expected it to remain flat. I perhaps overlooked the strength of Venus in Cancer. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of June 01, 2026, to June 05, 2026. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is May 28 – June 01. Saturn occupies the sign Aries in the third house and forms a sextile aspect with Mercury and the Moon. This may cause the market to go lower.

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for June 02 – June 05. Mercury is in the sign Gemini and occupies the fifth house. Mercury is strong in this sign, but it also makes a square aspect with Rahu and Ketu. It also forms a sextile to the Sun.  As a result, the market may move sideways during this period.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Gemini, a sign of its friend. It makes a sextile aspect with Saturn in the sign Aries. On Monday (June 01), the Moon transits Sagittarius, and it forms an opposition aspect with Mercury. As a result, the stock market may end flat on Monday.

On Tuesday (June 02), Mars transits in Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a trine aspect with Moon. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

On Wednesday (June 03),  Mercury enters Cancer. It makes a trine aspect with the Rahu in Pisces and a square aspect with Neptune. June 03 may therefore also be a day that ends unchanged.

On Thursday (June 04), exalted Jupiter makes an opposition aspect with the Moon transiting in Capricorn. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.  

Venus is now in the middle of Cancer and approaching Jupiter.  Venus forms a square with Saturn. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (June 05) may therefore be a slightly higher day. 

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

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

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

The S&P 500 gained 65 points last week. I expected it to go lower. I perhaps overlooked the strength of Mercury in Gemini. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of May 25, 2026, to May 29, 2026.

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 24 – May 27. Jupiter is in the sign Cancer and occupies the sixth house. Although Jupiter is strong in this sign, it makes a square aspect with Mars. It also forms a sextile to the Sun.  As a result, the market may rise slightly during this period. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is May 28 – June 01. Saturn occupies the sign Aries in the third house and forms a sextile aspect with Mercury and the Moon. This may cause the market to go lower.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Taurus, a sign of its enemy. It has no aspect with any planet. On Monday (May 25), the Moon transits Virgo, and it forms only wide aspects with other planets. As a result, the stock market may end flat on Monday.

On Tuesday (May 26), Mars transits in Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a sextile aspect with Venus. As a result, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

On Wednesday (May 27),  Mercury travels fast in Gemini, a sign it rules. It makes a trine aspect with the Moon in Libra. May 27 may therefore also be a day that ends higher.

On Thursday (May 28), exalted Jupiter makes no close aspect with any planet, only a wide square aspect to Saturn. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.  

Venus is now transiting Cancer and approaching Jupiter.  Venus forms a square with Saturn. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (May 29) may therefore be a lower day. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to end FLAT this week.

The S&P 500 gained 9 points last week. I also expected it to go higher. The pullback that occurred on Friday appears to have arrived slightly earlier than expected. My daily forecasts were a little off, too. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of May 18, 2026, to May 22, 2026.

A new monthly solar return chart will be applicable for the period May 18 to June 17, 2026. The description of the monthly chart is given on the front page. Visitors interested in the details can look at the front page, the Monthly Forecast section, and Read More… Here I describe only the shorter periods.

Mars is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 18 – May 19. Mars is in the sign Aries and occupies the third house. Although it is in a sign it rules, it is weak because it is about to change the sign. It forms a sextile to Venus, another planet about to change signs.  As a result, the market may drop lower during this period. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Rahu. Its term of office is May 20 – May 23. Rahu occupies the sign Pisces in the second house and forms a square aspect with Mercury. This may cause the market to go lower.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Taurus, a sign of its enemy. It has no aspect with any planet. On Monday (May 18), the Moon transits Gemini, and it forms only wide aspects with other planets. As a result, the stock market may end flat on Monday.

On Tuesday (May 19), Mars transits into Taurus, a sign of its enemy, and it forms a sextile aspect with weak Venus. As a result, Tuesday may be a lower day for the markets.

On Wednesday (May 20),  Mercury advances fast in Gemini, a sign it rules. It makes a square aspect with Rahu in Pisces and Ketu in Virgo. Mercury is very close to Uranus. May 20 may therefore also be a day that ends lower.

On Thursday (May 21), exalted Jupiter makes no close aspect with any planet, only a wide square aspect to Saturn. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.  

Venus is now transiting Cancer.  Venus forms a trine with Rahu and a sextile with Mars. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (May 22) may therefore be a slightly higher day. 

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

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

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

The S&P 500 gained 169 points last week. I also expected it to go higher. My daily forecasts were a little off.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of May 11, 2026, to May 15, 2026.

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is May 08 – May 12. Saturn occupies the sign Aries in the third house and is conjunct to Mars and Mercury. Mars is strong, but Saturn is weak. This may cause the market to go lower.

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 13 – May 16. Mercury is in the sign Aries and occupies the third house. It is conjunct strong Mars. Mercury, in conjunction with a strong planet, gives favorable results. As a result, the market may rise higher during this period. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Taurus, a sign of its enemy. It makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter. On Monday (May 11), the Moon transits Pisces, and it forms only wide aspects with other planets. As a result, the stock market may end flat on Monday.

On Tuesday (May 12), Mars transits in Aries and forms a square aspect with strong Jupiter widely. It also forms a sextile with Venus in Gemini. Since Mars occupies a sign it rules, and Jupiter and Venus are also strong, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

On Wednesday (May 13),  Mercury advances fast in Taurus, a sign of its friend, Venus. It also exchanges signs with Venus, as Venus is transiting in Gemini. They also make a sextile aspect to each other. Mercury is very close to the Sun. May 13 may therefore also be a day that ends slightly higher.

On Thursday (May 14), exalted Jupiter makes a square with Mars in the sign of Aries. It also makes a square to the Moon. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.  

Venus is now transiting Gemini, and it exchanges signs with Mercury, its great friend. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (May 15) may therefore be a higher day. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to end higher this week.

The S&P 500 gained 65 points last week. I expected it to remain flat. My miscalculation of Thursday also put my daily forecasts a little off.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of May 04, 2026, to May 08, 2026.

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 04 – May 07. Jupiter is strong in the sign Cancer and occupies the sixth house. It makes square aspects with the sun and Moon in the third house. As a result, the market may rise higher during this period. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Saturn. Its term of office is May 08 – May 12. Saturn occupies the sign Aries in the third house and is conjunct to Mars and Mercury. Mars is strong, but Mercury is weak. This may cause the market to go lower.

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Taurus, a sign of its enemy. It makes a sextile aspect with Jupiter. On Monday (May 04), the Moon transits Sagittarius, and it forms a trine aspect with Mars in Aries. As a result, the stock market may end higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (May 05), Mars transits in Aries and forms a square aspect with strong Jupiter closely. Since Mars occupies a sign it rules, and Jupiter is also strong, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.

On Wednesday (May 06),  Mercury advances fast in Taurus, a sign of its friend, Venus. It also exchanges signs with Venus, as Venus is transiting in Gemini. May 06 may therefore also be a day that ends higher.

On Thursday (May 07), exalted Jupiter makes a square with Mars in the sign of Aries. It also makes an opposition to the Moon. Thursday may, therefore, be a higher day.  

Venus is now transiting Gemini, and it exchanges signs with Mercury. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (May 08) may therefore be a slightly flat day. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to end higher this week.

The S&P 500 gained 29 points last week. I also expected it to remain flat, although my daily forecasts were a little off.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of April 27, 2026, to May 01, 2026.

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for April 25 – April 27. The Moon is conjunct to the Sun in the Aries sign, and it occupies the third house. As a result, the market may remain flat during this period. 

The next planet in the Vimshottri scheme is Mars. Its term of office is April 28 – April 29. Mars occupies the sign Aries in the third house and is conjunct to Mercury. Mars is strong, but Mercury is its enemy. This may cause the market to go sideways.

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for April 30 – May 03. Rahu occupies the second house in the sign of Pisces, and it gets a wide aspect from Jupiter. As a result, the market may go higher during this period. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun is now transiting Taurus, a sign of its enemy. It makes a trine aspect with the Moon. On Monday (April 27), the Moon transits Virgo and forms a sextile to Jupiter in Cancer. It is conjunct no planet. As a result, the stock market may end higher on Monday.

On Tuesday (April 28), Mars transits in Aries and forms a square aspect with strong Jupiter widely. Since Mars occupies a sign it rules, and Jupiter is also strong, Tuesday may be a higher day for the markets.

On Wednesday (April 29),  Mercury advances fast in Aries. It has also crossed strong Mars and forms an opposition to the Moon in Libra. April 29 may therefore also be a highly volatile day that ends lower.

On Thursday (April 30), exalted Jupiter makes a square with Mars in the sign of Aries. It also makes an opposition to the Moon. Thursday may, therefore, be a lower day.  

Venus is now transiting Gemini, and it forms a sextile to Saturn. Saturn, however, is weak in Aries. Friday (May 01) may therefore be a slightly lower day. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 is expected to end flat or slightly lower 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.
