Yearly Forecast for

2026: Chaotic, but end flat

My forecast for 2025 was correct. The S&P500 rose from 5800 to approximately 6800. My monthly forecast was right for many months and wrong for one or two. The monthly forecasts for 2026 are posted in the sidebar under the title "S&P500 Monthly Forecasts". Please note that I expect 2026 to be much more chaotic than 2025. Saturn and Mercury will fall and retrograde during the first quarter, followed by a conjunction of Mars and Saturn in the second quarter. Both Saturn and Mars will fall in the third quarter. Consequently, there can be a few corrections of the order of 8-10%, but the year could still end up flat for the S&P 500 due to the conjunction of Jupiter and Mars and the strength of Venus in the last quarter.
The picture above depicts how the S&P 500 could behave in 2026, though I am not sure how much of it will actually materialize. Still, it is worth keeping in mind. This chart is based on monthly solar return charts, so there is only a single flat line for that month, but there may be significant volatility during that month. This chart shows that we may move up and down in 2026, but may end up unchanged. However, one needs to be careful during the periods Feb 17-March 16, July 17-Aug 16, and Oct 17-Dec 16, 2026.

Monthly Forecast

May 18 - June 17: Slightly higher

June 18 - July 17: Sideways/Flat

During the period (04/17/2026 - 05/17/2026), the U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P500, moved higher from 7020 to 7400. I was also expecting a slightly higher month.

The market may go slightly higher during the period, May 18 to June 17. The exalted Jupiter occupies the sixth house very close to the ascendant degree. This setup is favorable. Saturn in the sign Aries occupies the third house and is no longer close to Mars or Neptune. This is a slightly unfavorable situation. Mercury is strong in the sign Gemini and is conjunct Uranus. This is a positive feature. Moon in the sign Gemini occupies the fifth house. Combining the effects of all features, I think we may have a solar month that is volatile but ends slightly higher.

The US stock market may go sideways during the month (Jun 18, 2026, to Jul 18, 2026). Venus is the planet that is close to the ascendant degree and it is the sign, Leo, a sign of its enemy, Sun. This is an unfavorable feature. Neptune is another planet on the ascendant degree. It occupies the ninth house. This is a favorable setup. The closest aspect between the two planets is the trine aspect between fallen Saturn and Moon in Leo. This scenario cannot be taken as favorable. Considering everything together, I think this month could be flat or slightly higher for the US stock market.
