“Financial Astrology Flashpoint: May 20–23, 2025”
Bearish or Volatile Tremors Ahead? Dalal Street and Wall Street Under Pressure: May 20 to 23, 2025
Disclaimer & Research Note:
This article is part of my ongoing research into financial astrology, with a focused analysis of the sensitive time window between 20th and 23rd May 2025. It is intended purely for educational and research purposes. Readers are kindly advised that predictions based on astrology are interpretative by nature, and I should not be held responsible if outcomes differ from expectations.
I would also like to highlight that very few astrologers are actively engaged in serious research on financial markets, and there is limited reference material available even from our most renowned and respected stalwarts in the field. This makes financial astrology one of the most complex and challenging branches of Jyotish.
Astrological configurations point to a sensitive and volatile phase for global financial markets between May 20 to the morning of May 23, 2025. Both Dalal Street (India) and Wall Street (USA) could experience sharp fluctuations, erratic investor behaviour, and possible bearish turns. The following astrological factors converge to amplify the uncertainty and potential downturn during this time window:
1. Lunation Chart of 12th May 2025: A Prelude to Volatility
For the current fortnight commencing May 12, 2025, the Lunation occurs at 22:25 hrs IST in New Delhi, and brings forth several crucial planetary configurations worth noting:
The New Moon (Amavasya) chart cast for 12th May 2025 sets a precarious tone for the fortnight that follows. This lunation occurs in Libra, an Airy sign and , with the Sun–Moon opposition falling under malefic influence:
-
Mars aspects the Lunation point from 8th house the 2nd and the 11th house as the 5th Lord and the 12th Lord, indicating aggressive speculative forces and possible military or geopolitical developments affecting investor sentiment.
-
Saturn casts a restrictive 3rd aspect on Jupiter Karka for wealth, increasing market pressure and curtailing momentum.
-
Venus (finance significator) is suggesting a temporary loss of market stability and investor charm.
-
The Varga charts, especially the Navamsha and Dashamsha, reflect tension in financial houses, showing cracks in underlying sentiment.
Result: This configuration typically precedes sudden bearish reversals, panic selling, or steep corrections in equities and commodities.
2. Navamsha Transit Trigger on 23rd May 2025
A critical Navamsha shift occurs on 23rd May, influencing the dispositional strength of key planets:
-
Fast-moving inner planets (like Mercury and Venus) shift Navamshas, causing a temporary drop in their functional strength, particularly in their ability to support bullish market activity.
-
The Ascendant lord of Dalal Street’s foundation chart may move into an inimical or debilitated Navamsha, making the first few hours of May 23 (IST) crucial.
This timing could correlate with gap-down openings, institutional pull-outs, or overnight global cues leading to cautious trading.
3. North Node (Rahu) Affliction
Rahu, the master of speculation and irrational exuberance, plays a destabilizing role during this period:
-
Rahu continues its transit through Pisces, forming sensitive degrees with Venus and Mercury, two primary financial indicators.
-
It also afflicts the 2nd and 11th Lord (depending on exchange charts), creating a pattern of false hope, volatile volume surges, and sudden crashes.
-
In global indices, particularly the NASDAQ and S&P 500 charts, Rahu’s influence may create AI-stock bubbles or tech-sector dips.
This affliction makes markets emotionally reactive and algorithmically unstable, with unpredictable foreign institutional flows.
4. Mercury Combustion: Loss of Rationality
As Mercury comes too close to the Sun, it loses its independent strength—known as combustion:
-
This reduces analytical depth in market behavior, often replaced by emotional or mob-based reactions.
-
Investors may act on rumors or speculative news rather than fundamentals.
-
Errors in judgment, especially from financial institutions or government bodies, cannot be ruled out.
Combust Mercury is especially dangerous when paired with Rahu’s delusion, often sparking mini flash crashes or knee-jerk reactions to benign news.
Conclusion: Caution Advised – Watch for Market Tremors
Between May 20 and May 23 (Morning hours), the convergence of multiple astrological stressors—volatile lunation, planetary declinations, combust Mercury, afflicted Rahu, and critical Navamsha shifts—create the perfect storm for market instability.
Investors, institutions, and financial analysts should remain on high alert.
-
Avoid large speculative positions, especially in high-beta sectors.
-
Watch for news triggers around central banks, geopolitical flashpoints, and tech regulations.
-
Astrologically, this window favors defensive portfolios and short-term tactical trades, rather than high-risk exposure.
