May 12 – 16,2025 - Stockastrologer - Financial Astrology

The S&P 500 lost 27 points last week. I was also expecting a flat market. However, the daily forecast was much better.

Here is the expected breakdown for the week of May 12, 2025, to May 16, 2025.

For the chart and the CVD dates, please look at last week’s page.

Saturn is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 12 -16, which occupies the fifth house in the Pisces sign in the monthly solar return chart. It conjuncts Rahu and Venus, and it makes a trine aspect with fallen Mars in the ninth house. As a result, the market may go lower in these days.

A new monthly and annual solar chart will be applicable after May 17, 2025. I will write about that next week.

Sun is the compressed Vimshottri dasha planet for May 17, occupying the seventh house in the sign of Taurus. It makes a trine aspect with the Moon in the sign of Capricorn present in the third house. The stock market is closed for the weekend.

Transits during this week:

The Sun transits Taurus during this week. On Monday, the Moon transits through Scorpio. The Moon makes a trine aspect with Saturn and Rahu. It may produce slightly 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 a square aspect with Mercury in Taurus. So, Tuesday may be a slightly higher day for the markets.

Mercury is transiting Taurus, a sign ruled by its friend, Venus. It makes square aspects with Mars. Wednesday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

In the sign Gemini, Jupiter makes square aspects, with Saturn and Rahu occupying the sign Pisces. It also gets the aspect of the transiting Moon in Sagittarius. Thursday may, therefore, be a slightly higher day.

Venus now moves into Aries, a sign it dislikes. It makes a trine aspect with Mars and a square aspect with the Moon. Friday may be a flat day. Saturn is about to move into Aries now, which can have 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 lower; Thursday: Slightly higher ; Friday: Flat.

Overall, the S&P 500 may go lower this week.

Monthly Forecast

Apr 16 - May 16: Slightly Higher

May 17 - Jun 17: Slightly Lower

During the period (03/17/2025 - 04/16/2025), the U.S. stock market measured with S&P500 fell from 5640 to 5275. I was also expecting a lower month

The US stock market may go slightly higher during the month (April 16, 2025, to May 16, 2025). Jupiter occupies the eighth house in the sign Gemini. It aspects Moon in the second house. This is a favorable feature. Venus is exalted in the fifth house. It is joined by Saturn and Rahu in the fifth house. This setup of three friendly planets can be beneficial for the markets. The planet Mars in the sign Cancer occupies the ninth house. It is not good, but it makes trine aspects with Saturn and Venus occupying the fifth house. Mars is, therefore, neutral. Saturn occupies the fifth house in Pisces, and is involved in conjunction with Rahu. This is a negative feature. The square aspect of the Mars with the Sun is also not favorable. Considering everything together, I am of the opinion that this month can only be a neutral or slightly positive month for the U.S. stock market.

The market may go slightly lower during the period, May 17, 2025 to June 17, 2025. The critical planet, Mars is reasonably strong and it occupies the tenth house. However, it makes a sqaure aspect with Mercury occupying the seventh house, and a trine aspect with Venus in the sixth house. This setup can cause some problems in this month. Saturn in the sign Pisces has a company of Rahu, and this combination is square to Jupiter in the eight house. This is a negative feature. There is a trine relationship between the Sun and the Moon. This is a positive feature. Combining the effects of all features, I think we may have a solar month that could go slightly lower.
