The sky now

Gochara — the current transits

Where each graha stands right now, in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa). This is the same sky your daily rashi reading and the AI Jyotishi’s transit context are grounded in.

Reading this table

Gochara is the study of the planets’ current motion against your birth chart. The positions here are geocentric and sidereal — they hold for everywhere on Earth. The Moon moves fastest, changing nakshatra roughly daily; Jupiter and Saturn spend a year or more in a rashi, which is why their sign changes are the transits astrologers watch most. Retrograde motion is an optical effect of our vantage point — classically read as a season for revisiting and consolidating rather than a warning.
