How gochara is read

Vedic transit reading (gochara) counts each planet's house from the natal Moon sign. Classical texts list favourable houses for each planet: the 3rd, 6th and 11th for Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, and the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th for Jupiter. A planet in another house tends to bring that house's difficulties. They also describe vedha, an obstruction of a good transit by another planet in a paired house.

Saturn takes about two and a half years per sign, Jupiter about a year and Rahu-Ketu about eighteen months, which is why these three set the tone of a period while the faster planets colour single weeks.

All dates are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa), with Rahu as the mean node, and given in Indian Standard Time. Almanacs that use another ayanamsa or the true node can differ by a few days.

Your own year ahead, month by month

A Moon-sign reading is the same for everyone born with the Moon in that sign. The 12 Months Forecast Report reads Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu-Ketu against your own birth chart, from both your Moon and your Lagna, with a month-by-month table of the year.
