📊 12-Month Sign Timeline
The Moon isn't shown here — it moves through a sign in just ~2.25 days, so its own ~160 yearly transits would overwhelm the chart. See its current position above, or the day-by-day Panchang for any specific date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gochar is the Sanskrit term for planetary transit — where each of the 9 classical planets (Navagraha) currently sits in the zodiac, moving forward (and occasionally backward, when retrograde) through the 12 signs over time.
It varies hugely by planet — the Moon moves through a sign in about 2.25 days, the Sun in about a month, Mercury and Venus mostly around a month (longer during a retrograde loop), Mars in roughly 45 days, Jupiter in about a year, and Saturn — the slowest — in roughly 2.5 years per sign.
A planet appears to move backward through the zodiac from Earth's point of view during a retrograde period. This can occasionally carry it back across a sign boundary it had just crossed forward — shown as a retrograde (R) entry in the changes table above.
