Planetary Transits (Gochara) in Jyotisha
In Sanskrit, Gochara signifies the ongoing movement of planets across the sidereal zodiac constellations. While the natal birth chart (Janma Kundali) captures the cosmic imprint at birth, transits reflect the evolving temporal climate.
Sign Ingress (Rashi Pravesha)
When a planet crosses exactly 0°, 30°, 60°... in the Sidereal Lahiri coordinate system, shifting sign rulership and activating a new house sector relative to natal Moon and Lagna.
Retrograde Motion (Vakri)
An apparent reversal in geocentric longitudinal speed when Earth overtakes an outer planet. In Jyotisha, retrograde planets gain heightened intrinsic strength (Chesta Bala).
Direct Station (Marga)
The stationary pivot point where a planet ceases retrograde motion and resumes forward direct travel across the zodiac. Signals momentum unblocking and forward progression.
