Current Sookshma period for Nifty

Nifty futures is currently in Rahu Dasa-Ketu Bhukthi-Venus Antara-Saturn Sookshma, from April 24 to May 05, 2012.Based on past history and current planetary combinations what can be a probable outcome, in the near future?

We are in the time band for a weekly cycle low.The current week beginning April 30, 2012, is the 19th week from December low.The cycles have been in the periodicity of 14 to 19 so far.We may logically expect a low to be formed any time now.How would we know the low is in? When the recent top for the week of April 20, which is 5342 is taken out decisively, we will know.
Astrologically, the only powerful aspect in vogue, is the Mars- Rahu- Ketu square, which will be exact on May 01,2012, around 1.50 pm.So this corresponds with the low formation requirement.First quarter Moon was on April 29.Moon also will cross the Equator on May 02.So maybe Nifty will fall quickly in a couple of sessions to 5135 or 5080 ( 61.8% retracement of the rise from 4531) and reverse back upwards later in the week, especially the latter half of the week, with a particular preference for Friday. Since the current Bhukthi lord Ketu has only a short dasa duration, his antara periods also will be small.Interestingly the Antara period of Venus ends on May 17, 2012. In the same time band, Venus is turning retro.Sun will conjunct Jupiter.We also have a partial solar eclipse around May 20.So that mid month period is going to be very critical.    

Effect of Venus Antara- Saturn Sookshma, on Nifty

From April 24,2012 23.0.20 hrs to May 05,2012,20-41-44hrs, Nifty will be having Rahu Dasa,Ketu Bhukthi,Venus Antara and Saturn Sookshma. How did Nifty react during similar Antara-Sookshma period in the past? Here is an analysis:Let us look at 2003,2005,2008 and 2012, before understanding what can happen in 2012.
 

 Among the dasa lords, Sookshma lord Saturn is in 2nd, but retrograde.Antara lord Venus is in 5th.And Rahu is in seventh. None of the dasa lords are in great improving or reducing positions.Hence the trend is confused, but initially with an upward bias.

During 2010 transit,Rahu was in 5th, Mercury in 10th,Venus in 11th and Saturn in 03rd.We shall see 2012, in the next post....

Other Planetary Events of the Week:

The slower but potent astrological aspects which continue to draw attention happen to be the oncoming square aspects between Mars, Rahu and Ketu. This square will be exact on May 02, 2012.Meanwhile the negative QC aspect between Uranus and Mars also will be exact by May 08, 2012.  The next major astro signature is Venus retrograde, on May 15, 2012.Rahu dasa, Ketu Bhukthi, Venus Antara and Jupiter Sookshma ends on April 24, 2012. Next is Saturn Sookshma, which will end on May 05, 2012.This is expected to be better than Jupiter Sookshma.

·         Sun having moved into steady and stable Taurus, on April 19, 2012, continues to imbibe Taurean qualities.

·         On April 23, 2012, at 09.15 am, Uranus and Mercury are powerfully conjunct in Aries and Rahu forms a trine with both of them. Neptune trines Sun. At 15.30 hrs, Sun in Taurus, is conjunct (approaching exact conjunct) with Mars, in Virgo. Venus squares the Ascendant towards close of the markets. As per KP, Moon is in Karthika star and Sun is in Aswini. Ascendant is in Leo Amsa and Sun is in Gemini Amsa- 11 th to the Ascendant. This is also the first trading day after the New Moon on Saturday. The markets may open positive and show a slight fall from the highs on Monday.

·         On April 24, 2012, at 09.15 am, Sun is still trine Mars, but has started moving away from the trinal exact point.  Moon emerges from a square position with Mars. At 12.40.12. pm Moon conjuncts Ketu in Gemini. True Nodes turn direct today. As per KP, Moon is in Rohini, in the sub of Mars. Ascendant is in Virgo Navamsa and Moon along-with Ketu is in Aries, eighth position from the Ascendant. Nifty may open positive and soon end in negative territory today.

·         On April 25, 09.15 am, Rahu in Sagittarius, squares Sun in Taurus. Mercury begins to square Pluto. Venus conjunct Moon at the opening. Mars Rahu square gets closer than one degree (They are 90.84 deg apart, in fact).By 15.30 hrs. Mercury forms a positive biquintile aspect with Mars. Jupiter is trine the Ascendant whereas Venus is square. As per KP, Moon is in Rohini till 09.38 am and then moves into Mrigasira, ruled by Mars. With Mars in a negative aspect with the nodes, this looks like another negative day. However since Mars, Moon and Venus are in Cancer Amsa, to the 11th in Virgo, markets may recover towards the end, yet still be negative.

·         By April 26, 09.15 am, Moon is void of course and by 09.45 am, Moon moves into Cancer. And by 16.38 forms the first aspect in Cancer- which is a trine with Neptune. As per KP, Moon is in Mars star and Mars is in Ketu star. Also Mars has its Amsa at the 11^th position from the Ascendant. Maybe the market will start flat and improve towards the end.

By April 27, 2012, 09.15 am, Moon forms a square aspect with Mercury. Moon also opposes Pluto. By 15.30 hrs, Pluto and Sun would begin their trine formation. As per KP, Moon is in Thiru Aadhira, ruled by Rahu. Rahu is in Saturn star and in Libra Amsa, the second from Virgo, Ascendant Amsa house. Nifty could go down first and then turn green.                                                                                 Technically, The second phase of the 4 year cycle had begun in earnest on December 20, 2011. First weekly cycle of 18 weeks is over and we are in the beginning of the second cycle.Because of some negative planetary overhangs, such as Mars Rahu square and Venus turning retrograde by mid May, this cyxle may take off a little slowly, but steadily.

A Look at Nifty Weekly Cycles

Nifty seems to follow a 14 to 15 week cycles, counted from trough to trough.Taking stock from March 2009 lows ( to capture the newer trends incorporated in Nifty movements),the smallest cycle was 10 weeks and the largest was 19 weeks. We are entering the 17 th week on April 16, 2012, for a cycle beginning December 19, 2011.With Pluto retrograde and Mars turning direct it looks like a cycle  low is soon due.

Nifty technicals April 16 to 20, 2012

Monthly, weekly and daily trends point downwards.The critical question is will a reversal occur this week? Astro expectations say yes but it seems more like short term trend reversals.Longer terms still have headwinds from major long-term planets such as Pluto, Neptune Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn....Of course it is mighty prudent to wait for the price to confirm both the Technical as well as Astro views before opening positions...  

Nifty April 16 to 20, 2012 Astro view

Nifty in the New Year 2012

When Sun crosses into Aries, at 17.00.30 hrs, on April 13, 2012, this is how the sky was looking like.
The Ascendant rising in the east is Uthram, in Virgo. The sign is  ruled by Mercury and the star Uthram is ruled by  Sun.Amazingly, Moon also is another star ruled by Sun, which is Uthradam, in Capricorn.So Sun is going to have a great say in the way Nifty moves, this year. All aspects made by the Sun may have strong effects this year ( April 2012 to April' 13.). 
Ascendant sign Lord Mercury is in the sixth house ruled by Jupiter. Both Mercury and Jupiter represent dual signs.Mercury is also closely aspecting the Ascendant. Mercury is placed in Poorataathi star, ruled by Jupiter.Jupiter rules the principles of exaggeration. So we may expect exaggerated moves to both sides in the Nifty, this year.Volatility could be very high this year.Uranus in  Pisces, in the star of Saturn could be one reason. In fact by April 2013, both Uranus and Saturn are in a big negative lock.Ascendant lord Mercury is in Pisces, which is its debilitation sign. That shows the Ascendant has less than moderate strength and could affect Nifty movements negatively, that is supporting more bearishness this year.Mercury is also the tenth lord, ruling Gemini. That he is weak and that Sun is more prominent this year means that Nifty may move mostly on the steps taken or not taken by the Government rather than economic fundamentals.
Eleventh lord Moon is in the exact opposite-the fourth. And Moon is in a square aspect to Sun.This also implies bearishness in the coming year.
Second and Ninth lord Venus is afflicted by the Nodes, Ketu and Rahu.Venus is also in a negative aspect with Pluto.So Indian rupee could come under pressure because of external debt issues and that may influence Nifty movements.However the ninth lord Venus,strongly placed in her own house,Taurus is a positive development.So look to Venus when she moves into favorable houses or makes favorable aspects. Especially in November when Jupiter trines Venus, in September, when Uranus trines Venus and again in February when   Venus trines Jupiter.One another positive is Moon trine Mercury which again implies that news flows will affect Nifty more than normal, this year.This makes for more volatility for all kinds of traders.With Saturn forming a negative aspect with Mercury, negative news will have a more pronounced effect in the coming months.
Specifically Mars squaring  the Nodes,and Uranus squaring Pluto in July could be bigger negatives.

All in all, this year appears to belong to Bears mostly.With an Aquarian Neptune and a Jupiter moving into Taurus later this year, we might have some considerable upsides as well.

A very Happy New Year to one and all.
