Vedic Transits Calculator

Gochar analysis evaluates transiting planets primarily from the Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) rather than from the Ascendant, although both reference points are considered by thorough practitioners. The Moon sign represents your emotional and mental experience of life, and transits over it directly affect how you feel about and respond to events.

Each transiting planet produces different results depending on which house it transits from the Moon sign. Jupiter transiting the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th, or 11th from Moon is considered favorable, while Jupiter in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, or 12th is considered challenging. Saturn's favorable transits are the 3rd, 6th, and 11th from Moon, while all other positions create pressure. These transit rules have specific classical names — Vedha, Vipreet, and Moorti — that modify the basic favorable or unfavorable assessment.

The slowest-moving planets create the most significant transit effects because they remain in a sign for extended periods. Saturn transits each sign for approximately 2.5 years, creating sustained pressure or support on the houses it touches. Jupiter transits each sign for about one year, bringing expansion and opportunities to specific life areas. Rahu and Ketu shift signs every 18 months, redirecting ambitions and spiritual focus.

The most impactful transit events include Saturn's entry into a new sign (affects an entire 2.5-year life chapter), Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions (once every 20 years, marking generational shifts), and eclipses (Sun-Moon conjunctions near Rahu or Ketu, activating sudden changes in the houses they touch). Kaala tracks all of these and alerts you to upcoming major transit events relevant to your specific chart.

The most reliable predictions in Vedic astrology combine Dasha timing with transit triggers. A favorable Dasha period sets up the potential for an event (marriage, promotion, relocation), and a corresponding transit provides the external trigger that manifests it. When Jupiter Antardasha coincides with Jupiter transiting your 7th house from Moon, the marriage indication is extremely strong.

Conversely, a challenging Dasha period combined with a difficult transit (Saturn over the natal Moon, for instance) can bring particularly intense challenges that require conscious management. Kaala's transit calculator shows these Dasha-transit correlations, helping you identify periods of maximum opportunity and periods requiring extra caution. Jyothi's AI interpretation factors in both Dasha and transit data for the most holistic predictions possible.

The Ashtakavarga system provides a numerical scoring method for evaluating how strong a transit will be in a specific house of your chart. Each planet receives a score from 0 to 8 in each sign based on its relationship with all other planets in the birth chart. A transiting planet passing through a sign where it has a high Ashtakavarga score (5 or above) produces strong positive results, while a low score (2 or below) weakens the transit's benefic potential.

Kaala integrates Ashtakavarga scoring into the transit analysis, showing not just which houses are being transited but how strong or weak each transit is specifically for your chart. This eliminates the one-size-fits-all problem of generic transit predictions — Jupiter transiting your 2nd house might be excellent (score 6) or mediocre (score 2) depending on your specific Ashtakavarga configuration.
