Transit Significance

    Upagrahas — the shadowy points

    Five derived from the Sun’s longitude, and six kālavelā divisions of the day whose timing depends on your own sunrise and sunset.

    These move with the Sun, so they shift about a degree a day. Recomputed from the Sun’s longitude for whichever date is shown above.

        Major Transit Highlights

          Reading a Transit

          Position alone predicts nothing. Four classical filters stand between the ephemeris and a judgement.

          Candra-lagna

          Gochara is counted from the Moon’s rāśi, not from the ascendant. The same Śani transit is the eighth from one Moon and the eleventh from another, and the two verdicts have nothing in common.

          Vedha

          A benefic transit is obstructed when another graha occupies its vedha-sthāna. Without checking obstruction, a favourable placement is read as favourable when it has in fact been cancelled.

          Aṣṭakavarga

          The bindus a graha carries in the sign it enters decide the strength of the result. Four or fewer in Sarvāṣṭakavarga turn an otherwise clean transit thin.

          Daśā first

          Transit ripens only what the running Vimśottarī daśā has already promised. A powerful gochara over an inactive daśā-lord gives an event that never quite arrives.

          Impact of the Major Transits India & the World

          Śani, Guru, Rāhu, Ketu and Maṅgala for the date shown. Each graha’s nakṣatra places it in a direction of Varāhamihira’s Kūrma Chakra (Bṛhat Saṃhitā 14); that direction names the Indian states and the countries its transit touches. See it on the maps →

          Conclusive Analysis Every Transit by Nakṣatra

          For each graha: the nakṣatra’s deity, lord, nature and symbol, the pāda and navāṃśa, special conditions (vargottama, gaṇḍānta, vakrī, asta), how the nakṣatra lord routes the result, where it lands on the Kūrma Chakra, and when it moves on.

          A classical reading for study, generated from the positions shown and refreshed with every date you choose. It describes tendencies; it is not a forecast for any nation, state or person.
