Questions about gochar
What is gochar?
Gochar is the movement of the planets through the signs as they are now, read against your own chart, usually from your Moon sign (rashi). A planet’s sign change is its transit.
When does Jupiter change sign in 2026?
02 Jun 2026, 2:16 am IST into Karka; 31 Oct 2026, 12:37 pm IST into Simha.
Why are these dates different from Western astrology sites?
Indian astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (here with the Lahiri ayanamsa), about 24° behind the tropical zodiac of Western astrology, so planets change sign on different dates.
What does “retrograde” next to a date mean?
The planet is moving backwards when it enters the sign, so it often goes back into the previous sign before moving on. See the retrograde planets page for the full periods.
How does a transit affect me?
It depends on which house the planet moves through from your Moon sign. Your rashifal applies the transits to your sign, and a reading applies them to your full chart.
