March 23, 2025: Market Bearishness to End by March 28 with Saturn Transit to Meena Rasi?

As expected in last week’s newsletter, the US market could not move up much and kept getting sold off. Still, I expect S&P 500 to trade between 5500–5540 this week, testing the low of 5504.65 set on March 13, 2025. As Saturn transit is happening on March 28, 2025, the market could set a low, potentially a higher low, on this date. Then it is safe to go long on US stock market index funds. Saturn transit to Meena Rasi looks excellent for our president Donald Trump. Hence, he will begin making aggressive moves even in April 2025. However, market volatility will likely continue in the upcoming months.

Astrological Outlook for the Week Starting March 16, 2025

• 6-Planet Conjunction is Ahead: Six planets will align on March 29, 2025, with effects noticeable by March 27 and March 28, 2025. This rare event previously occurred on Dec 26, 2019, ahead of Covid.
• Saturn’s Position: Saturn will transit from Kumba Rasi to Meena Rasi on March 28, 2025, after market close. Effects will be evident over the next weekend. Watch for major cryptocurrency swings.

These celestial movements suggest significant market fluctuations this week, with a potential re-test of the March 13 low.
