Weekly & Daily Forecast

The S&P 500 gained 161 points last week. I was also expecting a slightly higher market. However, the daily forecast was much better.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  May 05, 2025, to May 09, 2025. 

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  May 04 -07, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign in the monthly solar return chart. It conjuncts Saturn and Venus, and it makes a trine aspect with Mars in the ninth house. As a result, the market may go sideways during these days. 

Jupiter is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  May 08 – May 11, occupying the eighth house in the sign of Gemini. It gets the aspect of the Moon in the sign of Sagittarius present in the second house.  Jupiter is a benefic planet, and the aspect of the Moon makes it more productive. The stock market,  therefore, may go higher on these days. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Taurus during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Leo. The Moon makes a square aspect with Mercury. It may produce positive results for the stock market on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Venus while advancing in the sign of Leo. However, it also makes an opposite aspect with retrograde Pluto. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury is in the middle of Aries, which is an unpleasant sign for Mercury. It makes sextile aspects with Jupiter and trine with the Moon in Virgo. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.

Venus now moves into Aries, a sign it dislikes. It conjuncts Neptune, and it makes a trine aspect with Mars. Friday may be a higher day. Saturn and Rahu are separating now, which adds a positive effect on Friday. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 may gain a few more points this week.

The S&P 500 gained 242 points last week. I was expecting a slightly higher market. However, the daily forecast was much better.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  April 28, 2025, to May 02, 2025. 

The Sun is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 28, which occupies the sixth house in the Aries sign in the monthly solar return chart. It squares the fallen and weak Mars in the ninth house. As a result, the market may go lower on this day. 

Moon is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 29 – May 01, occupying the second house in the sign of Sagittarius. It gets the aspect of Jupiter in the sign of Gemini present in the eighth house.  The Moon is a benefic planet, and the aspect of Jupiter makes it more productive. The stock market,  therefore, may go higher on these days. 

The next compressed Vimshottri dasha planet in the sequence is Mars for  May 02 -03.  It occupies the ninth house in the Cancer sign. It squares the strong Sun present in the sixth house. As a result, the market may go lower on this day. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Taurus during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Taurus also. The Sun makes a square aspect with Mars. It may produce negative results for the stock market on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a square aspect with the Sun after moving into the sign Leo. However, it also makes a sextile aspect with the Moon. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury is in the middle of Aries, which is an unpleasant sign for Mercury. It makes sextile aspects with Jupiter and the Moon. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.

Venus now moves into Aries, a sign it dislikes. It conjuncts Neptune. Friday may be a lower day. Saturn and Rahu are separating now, which adds a positive effect on Friday. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P 500 may gain a few points or lose a few points this week.

The S&P500 lost 80 points last week. I was expecting a flat market. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  April 21, 2025, to April 25, 2025. 

Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 21-22, which occupies the eleventh house in the Virgo sign. Saturn and Venus occupy the opposite house, fifth. It sextiles the fallen Mars in the ninth house. As a result, the market may go lower on these days. 

Venus is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 24 – April 27, occupying the fifth house in the sign Pisces. Thus, Venis is strong. It makes a trine aspect with fallen Mars occupying the ninth house.  It also conjuncts Saturn and Rahu. The stock market,  therefore, may go higher on these days. 

Transits during this week:

The Sun moves into the sign, Taurus at the beginning of this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Aquarius. It may produce neutral results for the stock market on Monday.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Mercury after moving into the sign Leo. However, it also makes a square aspect with the Sun. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.

Mercury has moved back to Aries, which is an unpleasant sign for Mercury. It makes a trine aspect with Mars. Wednesday may, therefore, be a higher day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with the Moon and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.

Venus transits through its sign of exaltation, Pisces, this week. It conjuncts Saturn and Rahu. Friday may be a higher day. Saturn is getting closer to Rahu, which only adds a negative effect on Friday. 

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

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

Overall, the S&P500 may gain a few points this week.

The S&P500 recovered 289 points of the 506 lost a week ago. I was expecting a flat market. 

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of  April 14, 2025, to April 18, 2025. 

Mars is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 13 – April 14, occupying the first house in the sign Cancer. Thus, Mars is weak. It makes a trine aspect with combust Saturn occupying the ninth house.  The stock market,  therefore, may go lower on this day. 

Rahu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 15, which occupies the ninth house in the Pisces sign. It conjuncts with Saturn and the Sun. As a result, the market may remain flat on this day. 

A new monthly solar return chart is applicable from April 16 and will stay effective until May 16, 2025. The month lord is Venus, which occupies the 5th house in the sign Pisces. It rules the twelfth house and makes a conjunction with Saturn and Rahu. This is a positive feature. Mars, the critical planet, is situated in the ninth house. Mars is no longer retrograde, but it is in the fallen sign, Cancer. Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Rahu occupying the Pisces sign. This setup is not favorable. Jupiter occupies the eighth house and makes a square aspect with Saturn and Venus. 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.

Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for  April 16 – April 20, occupying the sixth house in the sign Aries. Mercury gets weak in this sign.  It conjuncts Neptune, Saturn, and Rahu. The stock market,  therefore, may go lower during these days.

On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with the Moon and Mercury. However, all three planets are weak. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly lower day.

Venus transits through its sign of exaltation, Pisces, this week. It conjuncts Saturn and Rahu. Friday may be a higher day. Saturn is getting closer to Rahu, which only adds a negative effect on Friday.

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

Overall, the S&P500 may remain flat this week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
