Feb 23, 2025: Saturn - Mercury Conjunction Gets Separated Creating Bullish Energy

Last week I expected the market to set a new ATH trigger sell off and that has happened correctly. But I did not expect Friday sell off that could be related to MM play on the monthly options expiration date.

• S&P 500 (SPX): The closing price on February 14, 2025, was 6114.63, which decreased to 6013.13 by February 21, 2025. This represents a decline of 101.50 points or a -1.66% change over the one-week period. The SPX index faced bearish sentiment, contributing to the decrease in value.
• Nasdaq: The closing price on February 14, 2025, was 20,026.77, which dropped to 19,524.01 by February 21, 2025. This is a decrease of 502.76 points or a -2.51% change over the week. The technology-heavy Nasdaq index experienced a significant sell-off, impacting its performance.
• Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow): The closing price on February 14, 2025, was 44,546.08, which fell to 43,428.02 by February 21, 2025. This decline of 1118.06 points or a -2.51% change indicates a notable downturn in the Dow index, driven by negative market sentiment.
• Nifty: The closing price on February 14, 2025, was 22,929.25, which decreased to 22,795.90 by February 21, 2025. This represents a decline of 133.35 points or a -0.58% change over the one-week period. The Nifty index showed a relatively smaller decline compared to the other indices, reflecting a more resilient performance in this period.

Overall, the week saw a decrease in the values of all four stock indices, with the Nasdaq and Dow experiencing the largest percentage drops. The SPX and Nifty indices showed smaller declines, indicating varied market reactions across different sectors.

Astrological Calculation for the Week Starting from Feb 23, 2025

• Moon will be transiting in Dhanushu Rasi by Sunday Evening Futures market opens. Rahu and Venus conjunction will make the market move up.
• Moon will enter Makara Rasi by 2:00 PM New York Time on Monday. Moon receiving aspect from Jupiter will create ultra bullish energy. This will move the market until Wednesday. I would not be surprised if S&P 500 sets a new all-time high on Wednesday.
• The late-week sell-off is likely when Moon makes conjunction with Sun and Saturn on Thursday and Friday.
