Frequently Asked Questions
What is Graha Gochar (planetary transit)?
Gochar means the ongoing movement of the planets through the zodiac signs. A planet's current rashi and its transits are the basis of predictive astrology — for example Saturn's transit drives Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
Which rashi is each planet in today?
The table above lists the current rashi of all nine grahas — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu — computed live with the Swiss Ephemeris, along with the date each next changes sign.
When does the Sun change rashi?
The Sun changes rashi once a month at a Sankranti. Its next sign change is shown in the table above with the exact date and time.
How is a planet's next rashi change calculated?
Each planet's sidereal longitude is tracked forward until it crosses into the next 30° sign; the exact crossing moment is found by bisection. Slow planets (Saturn, the nodes) may not change sign within the look-ahead window.
