The S&P500 lost 87 points last week. I was expecting a higher market. I continue to underestimate the conjunction of Saturn and Rahu, My daily forecast this week was also off.
Here is the expected breakdown for the week of March 31, 2025, to April 04, 2025.
Mercury is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for March 30 – April 02, occupying the tenth house in the sign Aries. Mercury is conjunct Venus and Jupiter makes sextile aspects with both Mercury and Venus. The stock market, therefore, may go higher during these days.
Ketu is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for April 03 – April 04, which occupies the third house in the Virgo sign. It makes a trine aspect with Uranus and an opposite aspect with Saturn and Neptune. As a result, the market may remain flat during these days.
Transits during this week:
The Sun advances in its sign of exaltation, Aries, which is favorable for the markets. On Monday, the Moon is also exalted. It may produce positive results for the stock market on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mars makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Mercury. However, both Mars and Mercury are weak. So, Tuesday may be a slightly lower day for the markets.
Retrograde Mercury has moved back to Pisces, its weakest sign. Although it is very close to retrograde Venus, it conjuncts Rahu and Saturn. Wednesday may, therefore, be a lower day.
In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. Thursday may, therefore, be a flat or a slightly lower day.
Retrograde Venus moves back into its sign of exaltation, Pisces, this week. It conjuncts Saturn, Rahu, and Mercury. 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 higher; Tuesday: Slightly lower; Wednesday: Slightly lower; Thursday: Slightly lower; Friday: Slightly higher.
