About Vedic Astrology Transits

In Vedic astrology, transits (called "Gochara") track the current movement of planets through the zodiac signs. These calculations show where each planet is right now according to the sidereal zodiac.

How to Use Transit Information

Planetary transits help you understand daily, weekly, and monthly astrological influences. When you compare these transit positions to your birth chart, you can see which houses the planets are traveling through, indicating areas of life that may be activated.

Important Transit Effects

  • Sun: Changes signs every month, affecting identity and confidence
  • Moon: Changes signs every 2.5 days, affecting emotions and mood
  • Mercury: Influences communication and business matters
  • Venus: Affects relationships, art, and finances
  • Mars: Impacts energy, action, and conflicts

Slow-Moving Planets

  • Jupiter: Takes about 12 years to circle the zodiac, bringing growth and opportunity
  • Saturn: Takes about 29 years to complete its cycle, representing discipline and limitations
  • Rahu & Ketu: Changes signs every 18 months, indicating karmic lessons

Difference Between Tropical and Sidereal Zodiacs

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which accounts for the precession of the equinoxes, unlike Western astrology's tropical zodiac. This creates approximately a 24° difference between the two systems, placing most planets in an earlier sign in the Vedic system.

Note: All calculations use the Lahiri ayanamsa. Transit calculations are based on precise astronomical data and updated every 15 minutes.
