What a transit (gochar) means
A transit, or gochar, is the movement of the planets through the zodiac right now. Vedic astrology reads it against your own birth chart, mainly from your Moon sign: the house a planet is passing through, counted from your Moon, shows the area of life it is stirring. That is how the daily horoscope is put together.
How long each planet stays in a sign
- Moon: about 2¼ days, which is why your mood and the day's tone change so quickly.
- Sun: about a month; each change is a Sankranti, such as Makar Sankranti in January.
- Mercury and Venus: about a month each, longer when retrograde.
- Mars: about 45 days.
- Jupiter: about a year, the most watched transit for growth, marriage and children.
- Saturn: about 2½ years; three of its transits around your Moon sign make up Sade Sati.
- Rahu and Ketu: about 18 months, always moving backwards.
Frequently asked questions
Which zodiac are these positions in?
The sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the one used in Vedic astrology and Indian panchangs. Western (tropical) astrology places every planet about 24° further on, so the signs often differ.
What does retrograde mean?
Seen from the Earth, a planet sometimes appears to move backwards for a few weeks or months. In Vedic astrology a retrograde planet is read as turned inward: its matters are revisited rather than pushed forward.
Why do Rahu and Ketu always move backwards?
They are not planets but the two points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. These points slide backwards through the zodiac, taking about 18 years for a full round, so they always stand exactly opposite each other.
How does a transit affect me?
Count from your Moon sign to the sign a planet is in: that house shows the area it is touching for you. Your daily horoscope does this for each of the twelve signs.
