At any moment each of the nine grahas stands somewhere in the zodiac, and Jyotish reads those live positions against your natal Moon -- counting which house from your rashi each transiting planet currently occupies. That count, not your Sun sign, is the machinery behind every daily and monthly prediction worth the name. ### The slow planets set the seasons Speed decides weight. Saturn -- now in Pisces, retrograde at the moment -- spends about two and a half years in a sign, so its transits define multi-year chapters: Sade Sati, ashtama Shani, and kantaka Shani are all Saturn counts from the Moon. Jupiter, currently in Cancer, takes about a year per sign and is watched for marriage, children, studies, and recovery windows. Rahu and Ketu, presently in Aquarius and Leo, drift backward through a sign in roughly eighteen months -- always retrograde, always exactly opposite each other -- and their axis shift redraws where upheaval and release play out. Mars -- in Gemini right now -- changes sign every six to seven weeks and acts as the trigger that times events the slower planets have prepared. ### Transits deliver what dashas promise The two timing systems are meant to be read together: the dasha decides which of the chart's promises is on the table, and the transit decides when it is served. A Jupiter transit over your 7th house matters far more inside a Venus mahadasha that activates marriage than outside it. That is why the transit pages here keep pointing back to your own chart and current dasha -- a transit reading without that context is a forecast for nobody in particular. ## Transit FAQs Which transits should I actually watch? The sign changes of Saturn and Jupiter, and the Rahu-Ketu axis shift. Those three reset the backdrop for one to two and a half years at a time. Mars adds shorter pushes, while the Sun, Mercury, and Venus color individual weeks -- noticeable, but rarely decisive on their own. Why are transits counted from the Moon sign and not the lagna? The gochar tradition counts from the Moon because the Moon is the mind -- the part of you that experiences events as they arrive. Careful astrologers check important transits from the lagna as well, but published transit results, including Sade Sati, are defined from the Moon. Is Sade Sati a transit? Yes -- it is nothing more mysterious than Saturn transiting the 12th, 1st, and 2nd signs from your natal Moon, roughly two and a half years each. The Sade Sati hub computes live from today's ephemeris which Moon signs are inside it right now. ## Transits are read from your Moon sign Not your Sun sign.
