Gochar - Introduction to Transits
While your **Natal Chart** (Rashi Chakra) shows where planets were at birth, **Gochar** (Transits) tells us where planets are moving right now in the sky. If Dasha is the "Promise" of an event, Gochar is the "Delivery" of that event. In Vedic Astrology, transits are primarily analyzed from the **Moon Sign** (Janma Rashi).
| Planet | Transit Duration (Approx) | Favorable Transit Houses (from Moon) |
|---|---|---|
| Moon | 2.25 Days | 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 |
| Sun | 1 Month | 3, 6, 10, 11 |
| Mars | 45 Days | 3, 6, 11 |
| Jupiter | 1 Year | 2, 5, 7, 9, 11 |
| Saturn | 2.5 Years | 3, 6, 11 |
| Rahu/Ketu | 1.5 Years | 3, 6, 11 |
Moorthi Nirnayam (Auspiciousness of Transit)
Whenever a major planet enters a new sign, its impact is judged by the position of the Moon at that moment, known as **Moorthi Nirnayam**:
- Swarna Moorthi (Gold): Extremely auspicious results.
- Rajata Moorthi (Silver): Very good results.
- Tamra Moorthi (Copper): Average results.
- Loha Moorthi (Iron): Challenging results.
