2025 Astrology Predictions: Prashant Kapoor talks about the stock market and investments
Prashant Kapoor Reveals 2025 Stock Market Predictions & How to Turn a Profit
Known as the pioneer of financial astrology in India, Kapoor has been sharing his stock market predictions since 2004. He has helped many business tycoons and celebrities advance their careers. However, he is careful about interpreting personalized predictions and refrains from revealing the names of the shares to avoid issues with SEBI. Kapoor revealed that astrology can predict whether one should make long-term expenditures and invest in swing trading, or buy shares.
The astro-guru discussed one common mistake people make when buying shares, which is that when people see someone making a huge profit from a particular investment, they get heavily influenced. But it often proves to be a terrible mistake. Some get rich overnight by investing in the stock market, while some end up losing everything. What works for someone might not work for others, as it is decided by the fifth house of a person's natal chart. The fifth house, which is related to the stock market and karma from past lives, determines if a person will achieve a financial return. Furthermore, it has to be interconnected to the eighth house, which represents hidden assets.
According to Prashant, if Venus and Mercury are strong in someone's birth chart, they will make big bucks from the stock market. He believes that banking stocks might see a temporary recession in the coming months, but they will recover in no time. He suggests investing in good electronics, food, aerospace, defense, chemical, and shipping companies.
It took Prashant Kapoor 10 years to master financial predictions. He recalls helping some business magnates make a fortune and hit the jackpot with his predictions. He has to keep a lot of aspects in mind while offering his financial insights. Apart from calculating the influence of the fifth house, he has to decipher their lunar mansions or nakshatra too. They are correlated with constellations and influence a person's turning points in life and karmic patterns, and he has to purify them if necessary. He also keeps the person's psychological condition in mind to see if they are competent to handle the loss.

Jane Street Scandal Triggers 35% Crash In NSE Index Options Premium Turnover
Last Updated: Jane Street's Sebi ban has triggered a 35% crash in NSE's index options premium turnover; Details Jane Street Scandal: The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is feeling the heat from the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) explosive market manipulation case against US-based trading powerhouse Jane Street. The impact has been swift and severe, with index options premium turnover plunging by more than a third. The exchange is grappling with the absence of one of its most dominant players. On Thursday's weekly expiry (July 17), NSE index options premium turnover stood at Rs 39,625.77 crore — a sharp 35% drop compared to the June expiry-day average of Rs 60,605 crore, according to exchange data. This decline has been building steadily. From Rs 61,511 crore on the July 3 expiry, volumes slumped to Rs 45,884 crore last week, before crashing below the critical Rs 40,000 crore mark in the latest session. Index options premium turnover is widely regarded as a barometer of active risk-taking and real capital deployment in the derivatives market. Expiry Thursdays typically see the highest trading volumes, making the recent fall even more striking. The turmoil stems from Sebi's interim ban on Jane Street, a global leader in high-frequency and algorithmic trading. The regulator accused the firm of large-scale manipulation in the Indian derivatives market, particularly on index options expiry days. Sebi's probe found that Jane Street consistently took outsized risks across F&O segments — risks that, in 'cash equivalent' terms, dwarfed those of any other player in the ecosystem. Sebi described the scale and intensity of Jane Street's activity as 'manipulative," highlighting the firm's use of stock and index futures, as well as cash equities, to allegedly move market prices in its favor, at times accepting losses in one segment to unlock outsized gains in options trading. Over the period under investigation, Jane Street is estimated to have netted profits of Rs 36,502.12 crore across all market segments. In an attempt to regain access to Indian markets, Jane Street last week deposited Rs 4,843.58 crore into an escrow account, in line with Sebi's directives. The firm has requested partial relief from the interim order, asking the regulator to lift certain restrictions following the escrow arrangement. Sebi has said it is reviewing the request. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 13:19 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
