Mr. Devan

Stock market is indicated by 5th house. 5th cusp sub lord Mercury is also cuspal sub lord of 3rd house and 11th house. It is good. But Mercury is in 12th house (long term investments and expenditure & losses). Mercury is signifying Venus (lord of 5th – stock market, speculation and 6th house – loss to opponents) in 2nd house (finance)conjoined with 2nd lord (finance) Mars. Finally Mercury is signifying 10th house through Ketu conjoined with Saturn.

So it is clear that you have an idea to invest in stocks which seems to be financial gains in long term investments. But Moon (8th lord – profit to opponents and blockage of money) is signifying 10th house through Ketu and Saturn. Saturn Moon combination gives delays in recovery of amounts, even though there would be profits or gains.

Running period is of Mars dasa Saturn bhukti. Mars (lord of 11th – success) is in 2nd house. Mars is signifying 1st house (self) and 2nd house. So it is good. But bhukti lord Saturn is in 10th house (detriment to 11th) is signifying Jupiter in 1st house and 4th house through Rahu. So it is advised not to venture into stocks as it is not showing strong success. It is your look out.

Note: It is my observation. You take other senior astrologers’ opinions also.

Good Luck
