What is Gochar (transit)?

Also known as: gochara, planetary transit

Gochar is the ongoing movement of planets through the signs, read against your birth chart — especially your Moon sign — to time current and upcoming influences.

The slow planets — Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu — have the most noticeable transits. Saturn's transit over the Moon is the well-known Sade Sati.
