Om Sreem Hreem Mahalakshmyai Namah

Namaste friends,

 

Denis and other members asked me a few times about stock market analysis. I always maintained that I did not know any technique that worked reasonably well. I had tried various kinds of mundane charts - two kinds of solar new year charts and two kinds of lunar new year charts - and tried various compressed dasas with them, but had never found statistically significant correlations to the stock market.

 

However, all that has changed now. Pt. Sanjay Rath mentioned a chart at the Ukiah conference and I have recently experimented with it. It seems like the right chart for these matters. I think things are falling in place now.

Diwali or Deepavali is the Indian festival of lights. It comes on Aswayuja Amavasya night every year. This is a big festival in India. The New Moon that starts the Kartika month following this festival is celebrated in some parts of India as the new year day.

 

Different calendars are in vogue in different parts of India. It will be hasty to dismiss the calendars that one does not use. It is not necessary that only one calendar be right. All calendars can have a utility of their own. Reckoning of the new year from Kartika Pratipat (Sun-Moon conjunction in Libra) also has its own use.

 

Libra is the sign of business in the natural zodiac. The conjunction of Moon and Sun in Libra is important for business and financial matters. The new year chart cast for this conjunction at a nation's capital should be used for predicting the financial matters in that nation during the coming one year.

 

Interestingly, this calendar (of reckoning a new year from Diwali) is popular in some business classes and some areas of India where these business classes are strong. One is supposed to pray to Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) on this day.

 

Bottomline: Cast a chart for the conjunction of Moon and Sun in Libra at the capital of the nation you are interested in. Financial new year starts at that time and continues till the next year's Moon-Sun conjunction in Libra. Use this chart for making predictions related to financial matters during the year. Use standard rules of chart interpretation. Compress Vimsottari dasa to the length of the year to time events.

Try casting the charts for 2000-01 and 2001-02 at Washington DC. In both the charts, Leo rises with lagna lord Sun debilitated. Here is the data for the 2001-02 chart:

 

November 15, 2001Time: 1:40:36Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT)Longitude: 77 W 02' 12"Latitude: 38 N 53' 42"

The rasi chart is shown below:

Overall, you can see that the lagna lord is weak and afflicted by the 12th lord. Does not show a great year. Now, look at the compressed dasas for fine timing:

 

Vimsottari Dasa (started from Moon):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Jup: 2001-10-14 (06:34:44) - 2001-11-29 (17:48:32) Sat: 2001-11-29 (17:48:32) - 2002-01-23 (02:47:36) Mer: 2002-01-23 (02:47:36) - 2002-03-13 (04:52:09) Ket: 2002-03-13 (04:52:09) - 2002-04-02 (18:16:02) Ven: 2002-04-02 (18:16:02) - 2002-06-01 (18:29:36) Sun: 2002-06-01 (18:29:36) - 2002-06-20 (01:03:32) Moo: 2002-06-20 (01:03:32) - 2002-07-20 (13:54:57) Mar: 2002-07-20 (13:54:57) - 2002-08-10 (21:23:18) Rah: 2002-08-10 (21:23:18) - 2002-10-03 (21:20:22)

Jup: 2002-10-03 (21:20:22) - 2002-11-19 (14:31:42)

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is considered to be the barometer of US stock markets. Its graph for the last one year is shown below:

 

 

 

As you can see, Jupiter dasa during November was fantastic. Jupiter is the most important functional benefic for Leo lagna and he is in the 11th house here. He lords AL too. He has close aspects on lagna, 2nd and 11th lords. Retrograde Saturn's dasa had ups and downs. Saturn is a mixed planet in the chart. Mercury dasa was good. Though Mercury is a functional malefic, he lords over the two houses that are important for finances - 2nd and 11th. He is placed in an upachaya (growth). His dasa was good.

 

Venus dasa brought mild losses. Venus, though well-placed in moolatrikona, is a functional malefic and afflicts lagna lord. His dasa was bad. However, Jupiter antardasa during May 3-11 brought temporary gains.

 

Sun dasa during June was bad. Though Sun is lagna lord, he is weak. He is debilitated and afflicted by 12th lord Moon (Moon happens to be the 8th lord from AL too). Moreover, Sun is the weakest planet in Vimsopaka bala with only 38% strength (always use the Sapta varga based Vimsopaka bala in mundane charts). His dasa brought losses.

 

However, the worst of the year was reserved for Moon. Moon is the 12th lord from lagna and the 8th lord from AL and afflicts weak lagna lord Sun. He too is weak in Vimsopaka bala and has a much higher Kashta Phala than Ishta Phala like Sun. Though the 12th house is a neutral house, it is a very malefic house for financial matters.

 

While Moon dasa was terrible, Mars dasa from July 20 was terrific. Stock markets started recovering from the free fall of Sun and Moon dasas. Mars is yogakaraka for Leo lagna and he is exalted here. No wonder Dow had the biggest gains of the year during July 20-Aug 10.

 

Then came Rahu dasa. Rahu afflicts the only well-placed functional benefic in the chart - Jupiter. Rahu dasa was bad and the markets fared badly during Aug 20-Oct 5. Then came the Jupiter dasa. Jupiter is a functional (and natural) benefic placed in the 11th house with aspects on lagna, 2n and 11th lord and with good Vimsopaka bala and a higher Ishta Phala than Kashta Phala. In fact, Jupiter antardasa in most dasas resulted in gains earlier in the year. So far, Jupiter dasa has been good. In the last 3 weeks, Dow climbed up by 1,000 points.

 

With no other mundane annual chart system-dasa system combination could I ever come this close to cleanly explaining the ups and downs in the Dow graph. This is amazingly coherent. I finally think this Libra Sun-Moon conjunction chart is the chart for stock market analysis.

You can cast the chart for the upcoming financial new year using the following data:

 

November 4, 2002Time: 15:35:00Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT)Longitude: 77 W 02' 12"Latitude: 38 N 53' 42"

In this chart, there are 4 planets in the 8th house. However, lagna lord Jupiter is exalted in a trine and this year has to be much better than 2001-02. Luckily, Jupiter dasa starts from Nov 11 and runs till Dec 27. In all likelihood, this period will be very good for the US markets.

 

Anyway, it is too late and I have to sleep now. In case I don't write again until Diwali, happy Diwali to all of you!

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,PVR (aka Narasimha)
