🌍 Current Planet Transits — Gochar 2026
Current planetary positions and their effects on your rashi
Planet transits (Gochar) track the current movement of planets through zodiac signs. Slow-moving planets like Saturn (2.5 years per sign), Jupiter (1 year), and Rahu-Ketu (1.5 years) have the strongest impact. Transits are assessed relative to your Moon sign — Saturn over your Moon triggers Sade Sati, Jupiter in the 2nd/5th/9th/11th brings prosperity.
About Planetary Transits (Gochar)
Gochar or planetary transit is the current movement of planets through the zodiac. While your birth chart (Kundli) is fixed, transits create daily, monthly, and yearly influences on your life. The most impactful transits are Saturn (stays ~2.5 years per sign), Jupiter (~1 year), and the Rahu-Ketu axis (~1.5 years). The Moon transits each sign in ~2.5 days, creating daily mood shifts.
Understanding Planet Transits (Gochar) in Vedic Astrology
Planet transits (Gochar) are the current real-time positions of planets as they move through the zodiac. In Vedic astrology, transits are assessed relative to your Moon sign (Rashi) — not your Sun sign as in Western astrology. When Saturn transits your Moon sign, it triggers Sade Sati. When Jupiter transits favorable houses (2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th from Moon), it brings growth and prosperity.
The speed of planetary transit determines its impact: slow-moving planets like Saturn (2.5 years per sign), Jupiter (1 year), and Rahu-Ketu (1.5 years) have the deepest, most lasting effects. Fast-moving planets like Moon (2.25 days), Sun (1 month), and Mercury (25 days) create temporary influences. Mars spends approximately 45 days in each sign and can trigger both positive energy and conflicts depending on its transit house.
AstroMangal shows real-time planetary positions computed using Swiss Ephemeris. Check which sign each planet is currently transiting, whether it is direct or retrograde, and its degree position. Compare these transits to your Moon sign to understand their current effect on your life — favorable transits bring opportunities while challenging ones require patience and remedial measures.
