What is Gochar?

Gochar (गोचर) is the Sanskrit word for a planetary transit — the current, ongoing movement of the planets through the zodiac signs as seen from Earth. In short, gochar means "where the planets are right now." Your birth chart (kundli) is frozen at the moment you were born, but the planets never stop moving; gochar describes their live positions today. Vedic astrology reads the current gochar against your birth chart to understand present influences.
