As on 1st September 2016 Sun & Rahu & Moon in Leo, Jupiter & Venus & Mercury in Virgo, Saturn & Mars in Scorpio and Ketu in Aquarius. The above planetary positions is having a distinctive feature. All planets will be in between Rahu & Ketu leaving one side (180°) empty from 4th September 2016 to 28th December 2016 and astrologers call it "KALA SARPA YOGA". "Yoga" means assembly. "Kala Sarpa" written in English is having two meanings in Malayalam since "la(ല)" and "la(ള)" are different. First meaning is "time serpent" and other "black or deadly serpent". In India, perpetual nature of time has been represented as a circle of two serpents having their tails in the mouth of the other(in China it was dragons instead of serpents). As Rahu and Ketu are considered head and tail, all planets are now inside a serpent and hence the name. The second meaning is having ill effects and troubles including death. As there is imbalance in the solar system (all planets are in one side of Rahu-Ketu), high volatility and swift downward movement in the market is expected (it's said "as above, so below"). The last Kala Sarpa Yoga period was from 13-5-13 to 25-9-13. Mercury is in retrograde up to 22nd September 2016 and a downward move of 250-300 points in Nifty is expected. Planetary transits in September: 17th Sun -> Virgo, 9th Mercury -> Leo, 17th Mars -> Sagitarius and 18th Venus -> Libra.
The planetary positions given above are at the time of Sunrise in India(Kerala) and Moon's conjunction effect on markets may be seen in countries (Asia / Europe / US) where trading take places at the time of conjunction(10° - 0°). When the angular difference between the Moon and the planet at Sunrise is more than 5 degrees and/or conjunction occurs in Rasis(constellations) other than the Sun's Rasi, there may be a delay up to 24 hours in the conjunction effect according to their positions {Note: expect only eighty percent accuracy in assumptions based on Moon's conjunction with Mars(-), Venus(-) and Jupiter(+) as some other astro factors may also influence the market}.
