Market Watching the Moon – Weekly Recap & Astrological Outlook

Week Ending June 27, 2025

Markets surged this week as U.S. equities posted strong gains and sentiment strengthened across asset classes. The S&P 500 climbed 3.5%, surpassing its previous record set earlier this year, while the NASDAQ soared 4.3% to eclipse its December high. The Dow, while positive, remains shy of its all-time peak. Investor enthusiasm was largely driven by easing oil prices, a temporary reduction in global trade tensions, and falling bond yields.

In the background of this robust market momentum, planetary alignments suggest a layered complexity driving the mood of investors. As of June 29, the Sun is early in Cancer—a sign associated with security and domestic focus—while Mercury and the Moon in Leo bring assertive optimism and public confidence. This combination aligns with market exuberance yet underscores a potential overreliance on perception over fundamentals.
