What is Gochar?
Gochar means the current motion of the grahas. Whichever rashi each planet sits in today shapes its immediate influence. Weekly, monthly, and yearly rashifal all read off these live transit positions.
FAQ
Questions about Gochar
Why do planetary transits change every day?
Every planet moves at its own pace. The Moon changes sign in about 2.25 days, the Sun in a month, and Saturn in roughly 2.5 years. Every day at least one graha nudges forward, so the transit picture shifts a little.
What does retrograde mean?
A planet is retrograde when, from Earth, it appears to move backward across the sky. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn turn retrograde once or twice a year. The Sun and Moon never do. Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde.
How is Gochar linked to rashifal?
Every rashifal is fundamentally an interpretation of Gochar. Counting each planet from your rashi shows which house it currently occupies, and that shapes the day, week, or month for that sign. Change the transit and every rashi's outlook shifts with it.
